Hermione Granger's life is forever changed one night by an innocuous spell and a timely Professor. KindaPureblood!Hermione and Not Quite a Marriage Law. I just could't get my tropes right. Either way, the resident Know-It-All and the Bat of the Dungeon collide in this AU, SS/HG story about what happens when you're related to the Dark Lord. Cover art by Freya Ishtar.

The Light has fallen, Darkness abounds, and Hermione Granger is struggling to survive in a far more sinister Wizarding world. When she is sentenced into Snape's charge, Hermione begins to wonder if everything is truly as it seems. For better or worse, their worlds are about to collide, perhaps even unite them against a common enemy. AU, Post-Hogwarts, Rated M.

In her sixth year, Dumbledore makes Hermione a key figure in a plan to help Harry defeat Voldemort. (It's difficult to summarize this without spoilers— HG/SS; there's a Time Turner involved but probably not how you expect; the story really gets started in Chapter Three.)

It takes the unexpected engagement of their children to get Draco and Hermione in a room together, but only the selfish acts of their estranged spouses and a 300 Galleon bottle of firewhiskey will get them in a bedroom. What starts out as a one time mistake soon becomes a full-blown affair with a deadline; the day their children say 'I do'. But things rarely go according to plan.

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.

The war is a distant memory and Severus, having survived, retains his teaching post at Hogwarts. Hermione too took a professorship after the fall of Voldermort. All these years later, has Snape finally seen enough of loneliness? COMPLETE.
