   Summary

   10 years post-war, Narcissa retreats to a remote home with her ailing grandson, Scorpius, from a world obsessed with seeing the Malfoy name collapse. When Hermione, a child magical malediction specialist arrives, their sharp differences spark unease and tension. Forced into close collaboration, the two women must navigate fragile truces, lingering scars, complicated desires, and the unexpected possibility of healing. For all of them.
