Summary
When Ron, Hermione, and Harry return to Hogwarts for their 8th year, they're each assigned an anonymous correspondent from the pool of other eighth years' who've made the tough decision to repeat the year they all deserved to have but were denied.
The once tight-knit friendship between the Golden Trio is tested to the max, its boundaries stretched and worn thin.
The assignment is supposed to foster healing, and for some it does exactly that. For the trio, it's not so simple. What happens when your correspondent turns out to be someone you hate? Or someone you wished for? Or someone unexpected? Someone that turns your entire worldview upside down, and makes you question everything you've ever known?
Will Ron, Hermione, and Harry learn that there is love and friendship beyond each other? Or will they cling to that which is familiar?
OR
An epistolary 8th year fic that follows the lives of Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they navigate their 8th year, told between ink lines on parchment stuffed between pages of magical books.
