Summary
*~* NOW COMPLETED *~*
Four years after the war, Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts to teach Alchemy, a newly introduced subject in the curriculum. Adjusting to life in a post-war world proves challenging, but the warm welcome from her colleagues offers a sense of comfort. All except one. Severus Snape believes Alchemy should fall under the expertise of the Potions Master and is far from pleased to see Hermione back.
Through music, Hermione begins to uncover aspects of Snape that have rarely been seen or understood.
It is a slow burn with plenty of angst and push and pull, with the eventual smut. HEA.
The story alternates between Hermione's and Snape's POV.
Each chapter is inspired by a song, which is revealed in the end notes.

Summary
Hermione faces her sixth year at Hogwarts but her world is turned upside down in a single day. She has to face a Marriage Law, prophetic dreams and a temperamental husband with the threat of Lord Voldemort looming on the horizon.
This is just another take on the old Marriage Law Challenge in which I try to keep the plot mostly canon - but taking some licenses. You will eventually get Horcruxes, (some) camping days and Deathly Hallows, but also a lot of Hogwarts and a slightly different resolution.
Disclaimers:
All recognisable characters and events belong to J.K. Rowling and the wonderful world she created. I am just playing with them for a while - non-profit, of course :)
It is a long fic, the relationship builds very slowly and I am also excruciatingly slow updating. Plus, I am not a native English speaker... you have been warned.- Language:

Summary
The new school year post-war is just upon them, but an early run in for A Know It All and a Potions Professor before the doors of Hogwarts open again will have the year to come quite different than either of them expected or perhaps dared to hope for?

Summary
Hermione Granger is trapped in Grimmauld Place, under house arrest, with three men who should be dead. Their close quarters and isolation from the outside world quickly prove problematic when Sirius Black’s fixation on her spirals out of control. Remus Lupin is too weighed down by his own guilt to notice, which leaves Severus Snape to once again take on the role of protector. They could hardly have thought of anything that would infuriate Sirius more if they’d tried.
