trigger warnings/intro

The war is over.

Voldemort is dead.

All is as it should be.

The Golden Trio return to Hogwarts for their seventh year, ready to forget all the evils of the world and blood that once painted the halls, and move on with their lives.

Ron's appetite had returned, so as the stark green to Harry's eyes, and the pink to Ginny's cheeks.

The world was fixed, so why is it that Hermione Granger feels anything but?

With a fresh wound that never heals, the darkness she feels in her veins with every breath, and the nightmares in her head, will she find a way to survive, or will she be included in the list of casualties resulting from the war?
