Summary
Five years after the war, Draco Malfoy keeps his life small: a London flat, a forgettable Ministry job, and a policy of avoiding literally everyone. It’s working—he’s stable, if still sarcastic as hell—right up until Hermione Granger shows up to ruin his lunch.
Now a Ministry Investigator, she “requests” his help searching Malfoy Manor for a dangerous artifact…one the last Death Eaters are also hunting. But when a routine inspection turns into something far more tangled—surfacing long-buried truths—they’ll have to confront who they were and who they might become.
----
Or, Draco got therapy and space after the war. He's still an arse but is trying to be a better person when he reconnects with Hermione in an unexpected way.
