Raven is coerced into having a city-wide twenty-first birthday party to try and repair damage to the team's reputation, though the preceding weeks hold more trouble than anticipated. Yet amongst the stressful preparation, an emerging threat, and a growing darkness within her, Raven is struck by evolving emotions towards a teammate.

Severus Snape was a free man... until a social services lady knocked on his door and handed him a two year old child. A two year old child that shares his genetics. He needs help raising this child, serious help. How can Hermione Granger help? And what is her link to the child? UP FOR ADOPTION...

Hermione tries to save Professor Snape's life - and accidentally ends up with a much bigger commitment than she bargained for! (Most of the story is T rating, but two chapters are rightfully "M." They're well-marked, so please do feel free to read this story even if you're not comfortable with "M" works - those two chapters are easily skippable.)

Four years after the war, Severus is still Potions Master and Hermione is back at Hogwarts to teach, and Severus has made it clear he still dislikes her. Forced to work with each other for the good of the Wizarding world, a shaky friendship evolves. Friendship, romance, angst, drama, and M rating for later chapters!
