The Fear of Letting Go

Draco Malfoy is in a coma after saving Hermione’s life at the Battle of Hogwarts.

Nobody visits him. Nobody but the girl he saved.

Hermione, trapped in a cyclical existence of trauma due to great personal tragedy & dying from a curse she cannot cure, is lost. She can’t seem to get ahold of her life, nor stop spending her days sitting at Malfoy’s bedside, taking strange comfort in his silence and presence.

So when he finally wakes up she does the only rational thing — she takes him home with her.
