Preface
The Reason is my very first fan fiction written in Chinese. I am a big fan of Lariope's Second Life, and it's her fantastic work that let me discover the suitability between Hermione and Severus, and the interestingness in further imagining the story of the two.
I have read Lariope's Second Life for no less than 5 times. It shocked my heart, and I can't help myself to create a story based on the Second Life's context. To be honest, I'm quite conservative, so it's a little bit illogical for me to read Hermione having sex with Severus at the night they married. Furthermore, to Hermione, Severus is the professor she dislikes, and Ron is the boy who she likes. So there must be some reason for her to agree Dumbledore's plan without deep consideration and cut down her feeling toward Ron.
The time setting of this story is 2002, 4 years after the war. Hermione and Severus had a little girl named Thymia (originating from Thyme, the main material to make Felix) with them, and they lived a happy life. But Hermione found that she lost a week of memory before the O.W.L.s, which apparently concealed the reason for why she agreed to marry Severus, and why she trusted Severus with no doubt.
