It's far in the future and the war is all but forgotten. Many have gone on to live happy lives; many did not survive. Back in their school days, both Ron and Harry were madly in love with Hermione, but a lack of communication led to neither of them dating her and they each secretly saw others... The day that truth came out was one of the biggest standoffs in the second War of Voldemort and where one very important life was lost....
But that's not where our story begins...
(Ship Clarification: When you get to chapter two you will be wondering, "but I clicked on an Orange Link, where is the Harry/Hermione goodness?" Don't worry, backstory information moved very quickly, and the second chance at happiness for H/Hr already has begun! [that's a spoiler, bit since this is a shipping site, it's important that you know that]. There will be both fluff and angst along the way as well as some humor [I'm really proud of some of the banter in chapter 9] and some very human emotions to come to terms with. I hope you enjoy my story. Since it isn't based on the Harry and Hermione finding true love forever as teeagers it's different than many stories out there, but the reviews speak for themselves.)
