   Summary

   AU: Canon-divergent beyond book 4.

   The war is dragging on, Voldemort is growing impatient and Severus Snape needs to give the Dark Lord something useful.

   Hermione Granger will have to do.

   False memories. Public affection. Carefully chosen secrets.

   Hermione knows her role and Severus knows his.

   The only thing they failed to account for was what might happen when the truth started cropping up amongst the lies.

   The Harry Potter Universe and all its characters belong to J.K.Rowling, I am just temporarily playing in her world.
