Upon finding herself thrown back in time to 1987, Hermione decides to befriend a young Potions Master. He has other ideas.

Dolohov's curse left Hermione with more than just a scar. When Severus realises that her life is in danger, they start down a path that could change the course of the war. Begins the summer before HBP. Canon-compliant through HBP but will diverge from canon later on. COMPLETE.

Riddle is dead, but he took most of Hermione Granger's loved ones with him. She is just going through the motions in a bleak postwar world until a stray comment by Dumbledore's portrait gives her a renewed purpose in life – to go back and fix what the scheming Headmaster wrecked.

The last thing Severus remembers is overhearing a prophecy in a dingy, goat-scented pub. Now there's a James Potter clone with Lily's eyes, a much aged McGonagall, and an infuriatingly familiar woman with wild hair all saying he is not a loyal Death Eater. Looking in a mirror proves that he is, indeed, suddenly pushing fifty. All in all, not his best day.
