Summary
Hermione Granger learned Legilimency to save Harry Potter. She never meant to hear Draco Malfoy at all.
But one day she found herself in the mind of the boy who spent five years calling her a slur, not a plot, or a plan, but something that felt like worship.
It was a boy who had loved her since a train ride at eleven years old, and who was walking, alone, toward something that was going to kill him.
She told herself it was principle. She told herself it was pity. She told herself, for years, that it wasn't anything at all, except that it was.
So she listened. She lied to her best friends. She robbed the minds of Death Eaters in the dark. She built a defense for a boy who did not know he needed one, out of stolen memories and hundreds of years of pureblood law.
And when the war ended she walked into a Ministry holding cell and offered Lucius Malfoy a life debt and let him believe he had outplayed her.
He believed it for five years.
This is the story of everything it took to get there.
And everything that came after.
