Defector Chapter 22: Why Him?

What if Ron found Hermione sleeping peacefully besides Draco?

After another sleepless night, Hermione finally finds quiet in the one place no one wants her to need: beside Draco. But when Ron wakes and sees them together, the locket feeds every fear he has tried to bury — and the fragile peace inside the tent shatters.

As Harry begins to question what Draco really is to them, Ron demands the answer Hermione can barely give, and Draco is left wondering why she keeps coming back to him if she has already chosen someone else.

Meanwhile, danger gathers far from the tent, old enemies move against the people they love, and the Horcrux twists more than one heart toward fear.
