Abstract & Author's Note
Severus' words utterly devastated Leonor. She disappointed the Order of Phoenix, fled from Scotland to Brazil, and a guilty conscience and grief encouraged her to bury herself in research. In the end, the witch befriends a wizard who never attracted her before. Sense returns when Leonor meets somebody from her childhood. Soon enough the way forward is clear, and Leonor finds the way back to England and meets her fate.
Leonor is a bright witch with a troubled past. She moved through different countries and jobs to get attracted by a dark wizard at Hogwarts. Leonor longs for love, fights against pride and hate and conquers death. She has an interest in potions and the dark arts. Will Leonor be able to get what she wants and save herself? Is Severus going to use Leonor in exchange for Lily or will he be able to start a new life? Will Trelawney's prophecy finally come true or will both suffer from their past until they die?
Leonor Scott isn't the hard, private person she appears to be. She has a secret; one that has made toughness necessary for her own survival. Severus Snape isn't the unfathomable dark clad potions master. He hides a passion even stronger than the eternal love for Lily Evans. Dumbledore isn't the omniscient professor. He gets fooled into believing that Severus just serves him alone and the Dark Lord to keep Harry Potter safe.
I recommend reading first the prequel of this book!
"A Long Way — Love, Pride, Hate, Death" starts at HP/Book 3 and continues to August 1995!
"A Long Way — Hope, Passion, Love, Life" starts in May 1996 and "A Long Way — Hope, Passion, Love, Life" starts in May 1996 and continues to the end of the Second Wizarding War and beyond!

Dear Readers,
All Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling. They are not mine. Nevertheless, the story and all other characters (like Leonor Scott) are my inventions. I hope you enjoy reading. My intention is to fit Leonor Scott as much as possible into canon as if J.K. Rowling just forgot to tell about Leonor and Severus. I'm cautioning against spoilers! The story after HP/Book 7 is based on my own idea about the time after the Second Wizarding War.
I'll appreciate if you leave me a comment or vote, follow my profile or put the story to one of your reading lists. All constructive critics are welcome. English is not my first language. Therefore, please be patient with me. Enjoy reading and start to dive into my world of Leonor and Severus!
I will update as often as possible! But beta-reading takes time and I only post if I'm satisfied with the content. That's why I sometimes need a bit longer. I'm still convinced it's worth waiting rather than rushing to fit into an update schedule, but I'll try at least once a month with a new chapter.
Enjoy and keep me posted for anything you (dis)like!
