    Summary

    Some clocks keep time. Others remember what time forgot.

    Nearly a decade after the war, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, both curse breakers bound by uneasy partnership, are sent to investigate Gwynn Manor, a house where every clock still beats with grief, pain, and trapped magic. Within its decaying walls, time has splintered, preserving echoes of a Muggleborn clockmaker and his children, lost to the first war.

    As Hermione and Draco untangle the enchantments that hold the manor in thrall, their reluctant alliance deepens into friendship… and something far more difficult to name.

    In confronting the ghosts of others, they must face their own haunted pasts and the impossible hope that something good might still be rebuilt. A story of memory, forgiveness, and the slow alchemy of love.
