What happens when Hermione Granger, war heroine and determined advocate for justice, is forced to take responsibility for the one person she swore never to forgive?
As part of a controversial Ministry program, Draco Malfoy is placed under her guardianship instead of being sent to Azkaban. Living under the same roof turns into an unexpected battlefield: sarcasm, silences, and old resentments clash daily. Hermione struggles to reconcile duty with personal wounds, while Draco hides behind arrogance, refusing to let anyone see the cracks beneath his mask.
To the outside world, it looks like control. Inside the Granger household, tension and unspoken words build with every passing day. Somewhere between quarrels and uneasy truces, both are forced to confront what the war has left behind—and what it means to share a fragile kind of peace. [Ao3] [fanfiction.net]
