After the high-profile arrest and trial of Septimus Crowthorne, Hermione Granger finds herself thrust into the spotlight when she is promoted to Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Summary
This is not a story about winning a war.
It is a story about what it costs.About a boy who learned to be brave when no one was watching.
About a girl who saw him clearly — and loved him anyway.As the world closes in and destiny demands its price, Harry chooses the path of sacrifice, believing it is the only way. Hermione refuses to accept a future built on his absence.
Between forests filled with shadows, unspoken love, and choices that leave scars, this story asks one question:
What if the bravest thing isn't dying for the world... but letting someone stay?Bookmarked by making_it_through

Summary
When Hermione Granger joined the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she thought she and Harry would be working together to keep prisoners in Azkaban, but the more they learn about the Ministry's treatment of its felons, the more she questions whether she's doing the right thing. When Draco Malfoy enters her charge as a parolee, she decides there are more important things than keeping convicts in Azkaban after all.
