    Summary

    Hermione Granger, now thirty-three, has a life many would envy. Mostly. Almost.

    She has a thriving career, gratifying hobbies, many friends, entertaining co-workers, and a loving husband...Ron Weasley.

    Yes, Hermione Granger-Weasley has everything. Even secrets known only to Ginny, a bit of debt, sleepless nights, and a nagging unease that she just cannot seem to shake.

    Then comes the time travel...

    And where is Draco these days? Asking for a friend, because Hermione definitely, assuredly cannot be bothered.

    OR

    A second chance for Hermione, at what, exactly? She’s not quite sure, but she does know that she has suddenly, inexplicably found herself seven years in the past- in 2006. She has landed at the exact moment when she had decided to take a one-year-long break from her now husband, Ron Weasley, and three months before she once had a secret fling with Draco Malfoy.

    What will she do?
    Why is she here?
    How will she get back?
    Does she even want to?
    The answer to all of these questions will determine everything.

    Summary

    Harry Potter; the boy who lived. Ironic really, when he really wanted to do anything but live.

    After spending the summer after his 5th year alone, encapsulated by his own grief from losing his Godfather, Harry ventures out around Surrey after getting sick of the Dursleys' constant mistreatment of him. One train ride later he meets a boy who flips his entire world around. With his summer finally over, and the 'summer fling' thrown under the rug, trying to forget it ever happened, Harry begins to take a particular interest in one boy specifically. And it just so happens to be Draco Malfoy.

    TW- themes of self harm, child abuse, internalised homophobia, drug use and sexual assault. Please mind the tags!
