How Fair the Vine

The Battle of Hogwarts ends with a whisper as Voldemort and his Death Eaters flee upon realizing their position of weakness. Harry Potter races to track down Voldemort before he can solve the puzzle of the Elder Wand or, worse, split his soul into yet another Horcrux.

Meanwhile, Professor Bathsheda Babbling recruits Hermione to assist her on a new project that may tip the balance in Harry's favor when the time comes for him to once again face Voldemort. To Hermione's dismay, their work throws her closer and closer to Draco Malfoy, and she finds herself as drawn to his secrets as she is to the secrets of the ancient runic texts that could hold the key to victory.
