Half a year after the war Hermione decides to face the source of her nightmares and visits Malfoy Manor. The only downside? It now belongs to freshly orphaned and house-arrest-imprisoned Draco Malfoy, who is different to what she expects but still as bitter and somehow manages the miraculous: She is having fun.
Isolation 2.0, except no one is yelling. Draco is sitting at home, and the whole book consists of dialogues about the past. Terribly long discussions—or rather, monologues—that retell Books 6 and 7, plus reflections on them.
