At the behest of Lord Voldemort, Severus Snape is forced to commit a deplorable act against one who should have been under his protection. Bound by Dark Magic, he and Hermione Granger must learn to trust one another and themselves as they work together to thwart the dark plots surrounding them.

Hermione Granger just can't do it. She can't marry Ron. In her bout of self-medication, someone from her past offers to teach her a new way of thinking. Post-Hogwarts. HBP Compliant. SS/HG. Rated M. BDSM

Hermione is divorced, broke, and keeping a secret from the world. A Help Wanted ad seems like it could be the solution to all her problems. Can she finally put her past behind her and have a chance at a real future?

Tra8erse and I were joking on Livejournal that Snape must have a fetish for grading papers, given the amount of homework he assigns. Having said that, sorry, this is decidedly NOT what you'd imagine given that background info. Morally gray, graphic (rating for a reason), complete in two parts.

Hermione seeks knowledge from a reluctant Snape in order to help the War effort. What she receives is more than either of them expected. Set beginning in Hermione's sixth year, continuing into a slightly AU post-DH era.

What do you want me to say, Granger? That you are mine and I am yours? You are. I am. Let's not fuck around.

Hermione overhears something she shouldn't concerning Professor Snape and decides that maybe the House-elves aren't the only ones in need of protection.

A witch struggles to conform in a society that restricts her. A wizard thinks he has nothing to offer anyone but his duty and, ultimately, his life. An SS/HG Regency Tale. As AU as you get. M for later chapters.

Now Complete! Severus Snape is not a kind man, but Hermione Granger is past caring. She wants his approval and will do anything to get it. How far will she go? Even she has no concept of the depths to which she will fall in her quest.

Be careful what you wish for. You never know what you might get.

He would do everything in his power to keep her from remembering. Will it be enough? SS/HG Complete
