Hermione returns to complete her NEWTs. But the girl who returns is not the same one everyone remembers. With the help of a few new companions in the form of Slytherin royalty and one Potions Master, maybe she will find her way back to the light. "I don't want ordinary...I want a storm! I don't want to know I am alive...I need to feel it!"

What do, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini all have in common? They're all business partners in a daring venture to establish a stylish burlesque house in a little lane off the very proper Diagon Alley. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Paroled to preserve their magical bloodlines, Thorfinn Rowle and Antonin Dolohov are just trying to get on with their lives. A drunken one night stand between Hermione and Thorfinn, coupled with Dolohov's obsession with the curly haired witch, lead them toward a series of unexpected, but not entirely unfortunate events.

Hermione applies to foster the children of Thorfinn Rowle, Antonin Dolohov, and Fenrir Greyback while the convicted Death Eaters are in prison. The Ministry is more than willing to let her take up the role no one else wants, there's just one catch. She's got to gain 'permission' from their father's to raise the boys. And she will. By whatever means necessary.

Sometimes people are forced to make many changes in thier lives in order to survive.After a summer of torture with the Dursleys,Harry goes into a magical coma,where he decides many things that could very well change the Wizarding World forever. DM/HP SLAS
