    Summary

    Following the end of war, Hermione and Severus find themselves both in search of what they want and desire out of life now that the heavy cloud of oppression that has darkened their lives for so long has lifted.

    In a sandy bar in the South Pacific, they meet once again--he beginning work on a two decades long list of things he thought he'd never get to experience and she simply partaking in days of leisure without the weight of someone else's destiny resting on her shoulders.

    Drinks and conversation give way to dinner and flirtation. Dessert carries into the small hours of the morning. And when one night of explosive connection isn't enough, things heat up under the island sun as they embark on a holiday fling.

    But when the real world beckons them back, they part on amicable terms neither willing to ask for more than what was promised. That is until their paths once again cross--this time inside the walls of Hogwarts--offering up a chance at something more.

    Summary

    from chapter 1:
    “I’m not a ghost, Miss Granger, as you well know the difference. Did your travels somehow addle your mind?”
    “Oh sweet Merlin,” she whispered, clutching her chest.
    His dark eyes glinted in a way she’d only seen when he’d gotten the best of someone.

    Hermione's long voyage home surely has her imagining things. Or perhaps not.

    Summary

    When Hermione starts her Potions Mastery at Knoxford, the secret sister school to the wizarding world's most elite muggle university, she does not expect this particular professor leading the class.

    Something is different about Professor Snape though, and, while the unforgiving public are still reeling from his suspicious resurrection and controversial posting at the school-Hermione can't help but want to solve the puzzle that is Severus Snape.

    Could uncovering his secrets end up being just the thing to sway not only the public, but also Hermione’s heart?
