Summary
After the war, Hermione returns to Hogwarts for her eighth year not as a hero, but as a girl who can't sleep through the night and has picked up a few bad habits, like sneaking cigarettes in forgotten corners of the castle. She’s not expecting company, least of all from the last people she thought she’d trust … and Draco Malfoy.
Bonded by shared silence, cigarettes, and smoke-thin walls between grief and survival, Hermione begins to realise that maybe healing doesn’t always look like hope. Sometimes it smells like ash, sounds like laughter at midnight, and tastes a little like fire.
A slow-burn romance wrapped in nicotine, guilt, and unlikely friendships.
A war survived, and what comes after.
