After the war, Theo Nott vanishes from public wizarding society—no Mark, no trial, no allegiance. Just silence. You, Y/N, are a reclusive magical archivist and restoration witch who inherits an ancient manor once used for experimental magic, a place rumored to remember its occupants. What you don’t know: Theo has been watching you long before you moved in. And the house? It remembers him too.
The war is here. Most pureblood fathers have been marked my voldermort. Including their children. Blaise, Draco, Theo and Lorenzo, all have dark marks too, just like their fathers. Lucius is doing everything in his will to protect Kiara from getting the mark. She’s expected too by voldermort, but Lucius argues that she isn’t ready (this is just to prevent it from happening). Voldermort is taking over. He murdered Theos mother, as she didn’t comply to Voldemort.
Three years after the war, Hermione Granger is drowning in memories she refuses to forget, and Draco Malfoy is a healer trying to atone for a past he cannot undo. When fate places them on opposite sides of the healer’s chair, their shared trauma forces them into an intimacy built not on forgiveness, but on honesty and restraint. As grief resurfaces and boundaries blur, both must decide whether healing is something they can give—or something they are finally allowed to claim.
