A Slow Cruel Descent and A Fragile Ascent

Part I - A Slow Cruel Descent
The war grinds on and Hermione Granger, the lead intelligence for the Order of the Pheonix, is captured. Unable to crack her through interrogation without risking her mind, Voldemort conceives a cruel method of breaking her that involves a reluctant Draco Malfoy.
“He stared at her in disgust.
She looked—broken.
The fire she’d still had when she was dragged in was now extinguished. Her eyes were locked on his face like she were memorizing him.
“Stop staring at me.” He snarled. “You stupid bint. You’re supposed to be so clever. They can’t break you with torture but a fucking potion reduces you to a sniveling traitor.”
Part II - A Fragile Ascent
Sequel to A Slow Cruel Descent.
The War is over. Voldemort is dead. And Hermione Granger is broken.
