If you could have saved Severus Snape, would you have done it? Hermione faces that choice, right after the battle of Hogwarts. She will have to live with the consequences of her decision. She may have to die because of that decision. Post-DH and EWE. Rated M for mature themes and situations. ***COMPLETED***

Hermione tries to save Professor Snape's life - and accidentally ends up with a much bigger commitment than she bargained for! (Most of the story is T rating, but two chapters are rightfully "M." They're well-marked, so please do feel free to read this story even if you're not comfortable with "M" works - those two chapters are easily skippable.)
