    Summary

    It begins with fire.

     

    Nothing so pedestrian as a blaze, a rough incendio, or even the emerald flames of floo travel. This is a primordial fire, something older than spells, older than rituals, older than the magical world itself. A more philosophical man might call it the Titan’s Bane, the source of the shadows on cave walls.

     

    But Severus Snape never gave a fuck about philosophy.

     

    Severus Snape died in the Shrieking Shack on the day of the final battle. His body is never found—at least, that is what the world believes.

    Hermione Granger was one of the few survivors on the side of the light. When the dust of the battle settles, she is nowhere to be found.

    But in an isolated castle, two creatures are learning what it means to be forged by war, bound by blood, and pressed into new shapes by the other.

    Summary

    When the dust has settled; when the spent curses in the air have faded to a prickle; when the sounds of pain and terror whimper their way to silence–

    When the battle is over, what happens next?

    Hermione Granger has been active in the fight against evil since she was twelve years old. With victory comes the opportunity to take stock of the more ordinary aspects to her life. She can finally consider the choices that most young women get to make: lifestyle, career, romance.

    But the trauma she has known has left its mark. And even before her life took a turn towards constant life-or-death, Hermione was far from ordinary. Her friends are looking to their own futures. Her parents don't remember her. Her surrogate family is in mourning. The Wizarding World has always viewed her as an outsider. Hermione realises she is, in many ways, alone.

    It does not take long before she finds herself wishing fervently for the welcome distraction of another dark wizard. Life was so much simpler when priority number one was keeping Harry Potter alive...

    Summary

    Snape didn’t intend to do this again. Even his most imbecilic students could fill a ream of parchment with all of the reasons it is a bad idea. And, unlike his previous trip into the future, this cannot be written off as youthful idiocy. Landing in the much-altered kitchen at Spinner’s End is deliberate. He pinpoints his arrival time to the second, hurtling towards his older self. Towards his future wife.

    Sequel to A Window of Light

    Summary

    "Oi, 'Ermione... why are you talking about pricks like that? And whaddya mean you're beatin' the Headmaster?"

    It was a fair question... but the answer proved to be anything but simple. For Headmaster Snape and Mistress Granger, a pub night spent together in conversation turns into something else entirely.

    Written for Toodleoo as part of the 2016 LJ SSHG Gift Fest.
