In the Forest of Dean

A complete rewrite of Book Seven.
A darker, more dangerous, and more realistic outlook on war.
Mostly Hermione-centric.

Mostly follows canon, but provides a different look at how the relationships in HP could have formed had Hermione realized that she and Ron did not fit well together and that Harry, her best friend, was really what she was looking for the whole time. This is the story of what could have happened between Harry and Hermione in The Deathly Hallows after Ron leaves in a grittier war-torn world.

Features added subplots, alt POVs, and OC characters.

HHR is the main pairing, but this fic is about more than just their relationship. It is a fully developed story about the war following Hermione and her allies through the fight.

**This fic contains mature content, explicit language, and is dark in nature. PLEASE READ THE TAGS**

If you are looking for nothing but fluff, or a love story solely about HHR tackling everything alone without gaining a scratch, you will not find it here.

COMPLETE (but continuously editing)
