What if Hermione got Ron back… but the only place her nightmares stopped was still in Draco’s arms? <br /><br />After Malfoy Manor, Hermione tries to return to the life she thought she wanted — Ron beside her, Harry close by, and the Horcrux hunt still ahead. But sleep no longer comes easily. Every time she closes her eyes, she is back in the cellar with Bellatrix. <br /><br />While Ron believes he has Hermione back, Draco notices the truth she cannot say out loud: the nightmares only fade when she is near him. As the locket begins twisting fears into visions, the fragile peace inside the tent starts to crack. <br /><br />Set to “Everytime I Close My Eyes”, this chapter of Defector follows Hermione through trauma, silence, guilt, and the dangerous comfort she keeps finding in the one person she is trying not to need. <br /><br />Fan-made AI story video for fans of magical what-ifs, dark romance, emotional tension, alternate timelines and character-driven storytelling. <br /><br />Disclaimer: Fan-made, transformative content for entertainment.
