“Attachment formed in the dark was not the same as fondness shaped in the light. She knew that. She reminded herself of it often. But still, she wondered, in some quiet part of herself, whether it mattered at all. Whether two people who had survived enough ruin to break a lesser pair were allowed to find something halfway between comfort and need and call it enough.” Draco Malfoy is found alive in Azkaban after five years, near death. He is traumatised, unstable, furious at the world, and drowning in the ghosts of his torture. Hermione Granger, now in charge of the Deradicalisation and Reintegration department of the Ministry, is his only chance at survival. Tasked with facilitating the rehabilitation of someone who hates her back into society at the expense of her own personal life falling apart, it quickly becomes clear to her that someone had never intended for him to escape. Hermione Granger has built a career around the belief that people can change. Draco Malfoy may be the first person to make her regret believing it.
