Summary
The first time she walks into Maillard is an accident. Or kind of an accident, because technically, she had followed the smell of chocolate down Charing Cross Road on her way to the tube, which she only takes home on her half-days at the Ministry.
It makes sense that she had gotten so lost in her thoughts that her feet just happened to take her somewhere different. After all, there was nothing, and no one, waiting for her at home. She shakes her head at the maudlin, convoluted intellection, and her eyes widen as her brain trips over its thoughts.
Standing at a glass case filled with pastries, a familiar, spiky script on the labels of cookie jars behind him, is none other than Severus Snape.

Summary
Those years ago, in Slughorn’s class, she had been told to smell the Amortentia like all the other students. And her embarrassment had been so intense that she had lied. “Freshly mown grass and new parchment,” she had said. This was patently false.
She had smelled nothing.
Embarrassment curdled into panic. When, in the history of Potions, had anyone smelled nothing from Amortentia? How was that even possible?
She sniffed and sniffed and sniffed, nearly hyperventilating, but still, nothing. In a fit of desperation, she yanked back her humid curls with her hands and bodily leaned over the fumes rising from the cauldron. Her face burned from the heat, and she could hear the laughter of Malfoy behind her, insisting loudly that “she must have realised this is the only way to smell the bloke she fancies because he’d never want a Mudblood like her.”
For the first time in her life, Hermione violently wished that Malfoy were right. At least then, she wouldn’t be defective.Series

Summary
If someone had told him a few years ago that he would consider Hermione Granger a colleague, and dare he say, a friend these days, he would refer them to the Janus Thickey ward post-haste. Returning to his life after she was turned into a creature of the night, will sharing very close quarters and only one bed finally make them face up to their attraction and reveal a hidden truth?
