A New Leaf
A year in muggle London has turned Hermione’s life on its head. She arrived broken and hiding, taking life day by day, surviving rather than living. Working in a bookshop to pay the bills and keeping minimal contact with the wizarding world through the handful of friends from her pervious life she got by, that was until a few unfortunate interactions stirred her from her monotony. A rescuer who always seemed to be around at exactly the right time, letter correspondence with her favourite author and sightings of Bellatrix Lestrange made her confront some of the many things she had been blocking. With the encouragement of the few people who stood by her, her friendship group grew and with it the support she needed to confront these things.Now reunited with her parents and with the encouragement of her friends she finds herself embarking on her final year at Hogwarts with the aim to finish her schooling, her girlfriend a secret and also the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Bellatrix Black. This year will have its own set of the challenges, the question is, can they get through them together? And without anyone knowing that they are, in fact, together?
