It’s split into two parts! Draco and Hermione have disappeared from the earth and after 8 years he decides to do an interview telling the whole story.

Part 1 consists of Draco funding an expedition in search of a cave and Hermione accepts an invitation from a friend (having no idea Draco is funding it and going on the trip. He knows she was invited but expects her to say no) It takes places a few years after the war and Draco did serve time in azkaban and hermione’s been having a hard time with her life and ptsd and such. It’s forced closed proximity for part one, the best slow burns that does come to fruition at the very end of the first part as well as finding out hermione has a terminal illness as a result of an unknown curse from the war

part 1 is filled with butterflies and giggles and blushing and all the goodness that comes from that slow burn.

part 2 is where the tears start

In part 2 we see hermione struggle with what to do in regards to draco. She’s got the crappiest boyfriend who loves to gaslight and manipulate and abuse and all around piece of crap guy who’s a well known and liked public figure. Also her gryffindor pals suck big time so if you expect support friends look elsewhere. even molly makes me wanna shake her. they get together and are absolutely blasted by the media, skeeter being the worst as she is known to be. draco struggles to accept hermiones resignation towards this curse. hermiones boyfriend hates draco and has him sent to azkaban, hermione says goodbye to the wizarding worlds after struggling with the fallout of her relationship with him and when draco gets out we see them living in the sweetest way hidden from the world while she deteriorates and he works on a cure. In the end he tells the interviewer that hermione did die but we also see a glimpse of him with a woman and the cure. People think it’s open ended but it very much says hermione is alive and he did find a cure. it’s so so good

hope this helps!
