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.

Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, war still ravages Wizarding Britain. With the arrival of a dangerous new curse, Hermione Granger is sequestered to a safe house with Severus Snape and given a singular objective. Find the cure.
Their orders say nothing about the two war-weary soldiers falling in love, but Hermione has always been an overachiever.
Originally written for P&P 31 Days of Flash Fiction 2026 based on the prompt: "You already know how this will end." Now a multi-chapter fic!

Summary
“You’re still protecting me,” she states. “Why?”
In a blur of black fabric and the sharp scent of blood, she’s slammed against the wall so hard it knocks the air from her lungs, her wrists caught and pinned above her head, Snape’s body locking her in place.
“Because you, Miss Granger, are easy prey.”
Someone is leaving Death Eater corpses on Hermione's doorstep. Like a cat offering its catch, convinced of her inadequacy to provide for herself.
Yet instead of disgust, it stirs a dark yearning within her.

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.
