Severus Snape and Hermione Granger deal with traumas past and present and find they have more in common than they realize as they prepare for the ultimate confrontation with Voldemort. SSHG pairing. Not HBP compliant. This is a novel length story.

Something dormant inside the dying Potions master awakens and turns him into a creature of the night. Is it possible to regain mortality? Particularly without killing his minions Harry and Ron? Hermione figures in heavily of course. Humor, Lemons, More.
