Charlotte Hayes learned the hard way that grief doesnât heal cleanly. Three years ago, her parents were killed by a drunk driver on their way to her graduation â a night that was supposed to be the happiest of her life. Since then, Charlotte has built her world around control: no alcohol, no chaos, no letting people get too close. And definitely no hockey players.
They're all in their mid-twenties now. Hogwarts is years behind them. They've got careers, money, apartments, marriages/long-term relationships, and a friendship that somehow survived everything their younger selves put each other through.
You and Draco were the perfect couple but once school finished you were pulled in different directions. Him having to take over the family business and you getting work abroad. There was no question you were never getting to hold eachother back, you loved eachother too much for that. The break up wasnât messy, it wasnât mean. It was quiet, sad and like a goodbye like youâd see eachother tomorrow like always but you didnât. You had to leave and he stayed behind.
