Some souls are forged, not born.
His was hammered into shape by the weight of responsibility that stole his childhood, turning it into a battlefield he had to survive, not a garden he could play in.
Emotions became a liability, locked away behind a mask of jaded clarity, leaving him a ghost in his own skin: isolated, observant, and bone-weary.
And when that life came to an unexpected end, he finds himself with a second chance.
And the one rule he lived by – to survive quietly – is the first one he's going to break.
He is going to live his new life to the fullest, with no regrets.
The Wizarding World is expecting a bookworm. They are not prepared for the strategist who won't let anyone get in her way.

This is Harry Potter fanfic with Hermione as the lead. There won't be any romance, at least no plan for it so far, bcz I am not sure how to handle it, given the unique nature of the plot.
I am thinking of a cross-over, but not sure in the same book, or as different one after it ends.
Let me know how you like it! Leave some reviews, comments, and Power Stones
**Concept artist: thank you, but no thank you
Hermione was always intelligent but closed-minded, never allowing creativity with her story. Maybe we can see what she could have been if she hadn't been stuck by the rules.[img=recommend]
