Summary: “I knew someday you’d end up here in my home again.” Captured by Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott, Hermione Granger is brought to Malfoy Manor to be thrown onto her knees at the feet of her former childhood tormentor, Draco Malfoy. A man changed by the insanity of war, Draco has had to play the role of the loyalist for the last several years despite his own disdain for the Dark Lord he serves, or risk his parents being murdered. Yet, he finds that as he looks down into the face of the woman he’d once delighted in harming that causing her pain is the last thing he wants to do. In order to save Granger and to turn his life around, Draco has to dig deep and find the meaning of bravery. But can he, or will his cowardice lead to her doom? Sometimes it takes the right moment to find one’s courage…
Author's notes: Novel compliant up until the Final Battle of Hogwarts (May 2, 1998). After that, it is completely Alternate Universe (A/U). The war has gone on for an extended period, and some major characters died in the interim (implied). Prompts incorporated: Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger (Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini appearance), war-time fic, A/U, consensual sex, seriously explicit and yummy sex scene, believable plot, Hermione a virgin, pregnancy, snatched, dark vs light. Thank you to my lovely beta, U, who once more came through for me! Any mistakes are mine, as she’s flawless. Thanks to the mods ([info]scarletladyy & [info]pretty_panther) for putting this fest on! I hope you like this story that I’ve created for you, [info]misselizabeth12!
