At two crucial points in the war, Hermione Granger finds herself at the mercy of Bellatrix Lestrange's cruelty, and both times she is saved by Narcissa Malfoy, who not only goes against her older sister but also defies the Dark Lord himself. The Pureblood's actions reveal her exact role and loyalty, taking a weight off Hermione's confused and growing emotions toward the Ice Queen, also allowing Narcissa to approach the younger woman. Together, they will try to discover more about the strange and powerful connection that, despite all the implications, drives them to search for each other.
