Don't let the number of chapters back you down, this will be worth your time, I promise. This story is so long because I've started right from the beginning of the Harry Potter series. ******************************** This is a passionate Snape-Hermione love story.They are in love with each other to the point of deep heartache,but that's the thing about pain;it demands to be felt.But they are equally surprised when that love is mutually reciprocated.... Little smut involved(not for many chapters though) and I'm gonna be taking it slowly cause true love needs time to build.
