Harry Potter is dead, and the Dark Lord has taken control of the wizarding world. Severus Snape is alive, and must lead Hogwarts the way Voldemort instructs. He devises a plan to save Hermione Granger, but doesn't bargain on being placed under a Compulsion Curse that threatens to destroy them both. Rated strong M for sex, violence, character deaths and situations. **NOW COMPLETE**

500 points from Gryffindor! The largest single point deduction in Hogwarts history. Headmaster Snape is determined to make Hermione Granger earn the points back . . . the hard way. But the big question is 'Why'

In the midst of the Battle of Hogwarts Hermione is given the opportunity to help save Snape's life. Little did she know it would require visiting Hogwarts twenty years prior. She has thirty-one days to befriend the sullen Slytherin, and perhaps save his life. But, as always, things don't always go as planned. HG/SS, time-travel, EWE
