    Summary

    WIP

    Three years of hunting horcruxes led to victory, but the war has left scars. Now, with the Ministry forcing all students back for an 8th year, Hermione feels like a stranger among her old friends. They want the girl she used to be - eager to please, desperate to belong. But the darkness in her won't be ignored.

    Housed with the Slytherins, she discovers kindred spirits - sharp, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. Among them, she finds loyalty without conditions and acceptance for her true self. What could possibly go wrong?

     

    Not sure where this is going, but it'll be a bit chaotic, a bit angsty, plenty of smut and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
    I'll update the tags as I go.
