Summary
“The castle itself bore no scars of the war nor the ten years that had passed since then. It stood upright, as it always had, the warm yellow of its windows softly blurring the darkness of the night. She scolded herself at the silliness of it, the idea that somehow all that had transpired would be visible, suspended in time perhaps in the form of a ghostly superstructure or in a shrunken diorama by the entrance to be consulted on the way in.”
Hermione Granger feels like a ghost; frozen in time by an inexpressible grief that keeps her buried in work at the expense of her relationships. But as her loved ones welcome new life into the world, she finds herself increasingly haunted by the loss of her parents whose memories appear to be unrecoverable. So, on the evening of the ten-year anniversary of the Hogwarts Battle, she decides to follow her Gryffindor impulses for the first time in years, leaving behind everything to seek the help of a reclusive potion maker.
