Hermione didn't know what to expect when she went back to Hogwarts. All she knew was that the new Headmistress McGonagall had sent for her to help restore the school. She knew that she had saved Severus Snape from death near the end of the terrible Wizarding War, but only she and those currently at Hogwarts knows that Snape is alive. When Hermione finds that she must work with the Potions teacher once again, she is shocked. She had just graduated, how on Earth could she be a professor already? Severus Snape decides to help the poor girl, but in the dungeons there is more brewing than just potions.

'He was all of 8 months into his marriage and already considering a very illicit, very public affair with one Hermione Granger.'

(HGXSS) It all starts with a Detention occupied by Severus Snape himself. Hermione and Severus grow close over the last few years of Hermione's High School career. They both learn how to love for the first time, get hurt by the ones they love and come to conclusions they never thought would be possible. Slight Canon of the films GOF - DHs.
