A companion story for The Final Forgiveness. Years after a future Hermione left Severus after a summer together, Severus was still holding on to the tender memory. A story of his struggle since she left, and their journey together after the war.

Hermione leaves the wizarding world for the muggle world, and meets a new friend who eventually leads her to Severus Snape. Friendship, comfort, eventual SS/HG romance. Mostly DH compliant, disregards epilogue.

Hermione was cursed back in time and was saved by a young potions master. After knowing all of his secrets, it would be most difficult not to fall in love with the troubled soul behind the mask. NOT a marauders era fic.

This is the same story that was posted a few days ago, but had to be re-posted due to site difficulties. Severus is having forbidden feelings for one of his best students. But does she return those feelings? SSHG. Don't like, don't read. EWE?

COMPLETE!! Author note up. A bit of post-Voldemort, lemony fluff for the potions master and a former student.

**COMPLETE** The Potions Master and the Head Girl reflect on their deepest secret.
