Part one of a two part story. A different tale of what could have happened following the aftermath at Malfoy Manor. The trio has been broken, new players have entered the game. Will all survive? Who will be taken? What will be given? What is a happily ever after if not a struggle to find the light in the darkest of times? The road to redemption is paved in blood. Hermione/Snape Pairing.

Five years, it had been five years since the battle for Hogwarts. Five years for the students who suffered that day to move on with their lives. To love, to laugh, to marry. Five years since that fateful day that left the brightest witch of their age confined to a bed at St. Mungo's spell damage ward.

A change in career brings two people as close together as they always wanted to be... but is it too close?

The War is over, everyone is moving on. The future is, indeed, looking brighter than it has in years. Just like everyone else, Hermione is making plans, breathing easy, trying to let go of the past. Then she suffers a catastrophic loss and goes into hiding again, this time to seek vengeance for her loss. Only to stumble across a Potions master the world thought was dead. Will they recognize each other? NOT your typical SSHG. Rated Mature for a short scene of violence in the first chapter, and possibly more in later chapters. A/U. R&R
