*chap 5 up* Have you ever wondered if there were actually such people as wizards and witches? Or potions and odd-sounding phrases that actually caused things to happen, literally, as fast as a snap of the finger? Sometimes it’s fun to think about these things, but yet absurd, because magic is unscientific. Imagine how preposterous it is, if one was a witch or wizard himself! At least that was what Dr. Hermione Granger believed, until she met Harry Potter. **AU fic
*AU* In a dark dream, a madman reveals his plan for a murder that he IS going to commit, pulling Ron Weasley into a twisted game by disclosing his next victim: his best friend Hermione Granger. In a frantic race to save her, he contacted Harry Potter, his other best friend who he hadn't seen in years, to protect Hermione. Now, even while Hermione and Harry feel a strong attraction between them, they work together to solve this puzzle-- and one false move could cost both of them everything that mattered to them.
Hermione has always wanted to be an author, and while most of her stories were rejected for publishing, she continues her venture in writing, even while taking a new teaching position in Canada. However, when she left England, she also left her best friend Harry with a broken heart. While away from home, Hermione discovers real lessons in love, and begins to feel changes in her heart.
