When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.
