Summary
This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.
It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).
That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.
Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

Summary
Some truths change everything. Others just help you find your way back to a place you never knew was home.
Hermione returns to Hogwarts for her second year with more than just books in her trunk — there’s a whole new truth about who she is, and it’s one she’s still trying to understand. Between strange happenings at school, old secrets resurfacing, and a world that feels a little wider than it did before, she’s learning that growing up isn’t just about finding answers… sometimes, it’s about asking the right questions.
At the heart of it all is Sirius Black — the man she never expected to call family, and the one person determined never to let her go again.
As friendships shift, loyalties deepen, and a darker mystery stirs beneath the castle, Hermione begins to realise that maybe, just maybe, she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.
