Summary
A/N: I posted this a couple of years ago, abandoned it, and am now doing major revisions.
A sentient magical object awakens in the teenaged hands of Severus Snape, and briefly glimpses his future. The stark, lonely life he faces needs more room for hope, it thinks. It pulls what few strings are left to pull, loosening his timeline just enough for a little bit of hope, and perhaps even happiness.
In 2014, Elinor O'Connell, an exchange student at Hogwarts, searches for answers about her mysterious parentage. When all the usual means of discovering her roots fail, how far will she be willing to go to find them?
In 1996, Severus Snape worries about placing all of his hopes for success on Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived-to-be-a-pain-in-his-arse. He wonders if the odds might be better served by bringing Hermione Granger into the fold.
In 1996, Hermione Granger is determined to do everything she can to help Harry succeed against Voldemort, even if that means dedicating all of her free time to learning how to survive a war.
