    Summary

    June 1969 was when the word found her - witch - delivered by a strange, disheveled and sharp-elbowed boy called Severus.

    In the soot-stained heart of Cokeworth, far from enchanted castles and moving staircases, Lily Evans and Severus Snape stole seven summers from time's stubborn march. Between broken bones and mended grudges, between flowers blooming out of season and roots that refused to take, Lily learns that magic has its limits, but still her hands keep reaching, reaching, reaching.

    Summary

    The day of the Defense OWLs is uneventful. No public humiliation, no slurs shouted for everyone to hear, no friendship-ending disasters. Just two people who've been slowly losing each other for years, continuing to drift apart.

    Until suddenly, they don't.

     

    Note: follows Septennium, but can be read as a standalone.

    Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it. He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

    Summary

    "When he notices the tears cascading down her cheeks, he allows himself to half-believe that they’re tears of joy. When the first words out of her mouth are “we need to talk”, he allows himself to half-hope that she only thinks it’s too soon, that she still has so much to do before she can settle down and start a family with him.

    When he finally gets to look into her eyes, he accepts what he knows to be true, because during the small things that kept getting bigger and bigger, he had noticed something else. Had noticed the way she still watched, the way she kept staring, the way she continued to glow and emit the same warmth through her eyes that she used to give him.

    He had noticed that those things didn’t disappear; she still glows, just not around him."
