Journeys end when lovers meet...but what happens when two people that have already met a long time ago have their paths crossed again? Is it two strangers falling in love in the most unexpected of places or do they greet each other as long lost acquaintances? Do they question the fact that they had known each other all this time and yet knew nothing about the other or do they view each other in a completely new light and discover things that help them realise they were the one all along? Bored with her job and monotonous life and all of her friends getting engaged or married or producing babies, Hermione Granger decides to take a vacation to Greece. However she is taken by surprise when she has a chance encounter with someone who might as well have been a ghost. Meanwhile, Severus Snape is trying to outrun ghosts of his own past. Even though they vow to stay out of each other's way- they never really liked each other after all- life had other plans. What starts off as a classic mix-up of affairs with mistaken identities and exchange of notes, ends up being the most memorable holiday of her life.

Severus and Hermione had no desire to return to Hogwarts some ten years after the Battle finished. Each were settled in their own lives, but when Minerva McGonagall pleaded with them to return to help out over the Yule period they decided it was probably a better option than spending yet another Christmas alone... *****I hope you enjoy my little amble (nee frolic) with Severus and Hermione, and if you like it I'd love to hear from you (but if you didn't then I'd still like to hear from you but please don't make me cry!)******* THIS STORY IS MINE BUT I'VE BORROWED THE CHARACTERS FROM JKR, GIVEN THEM A BIT OF AN AIRING AND DUSTED THEM OFF. HOPEFULLY THEY ARE NO WORSE FOR WEAR.... Lots of love and a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

A year had passed by since the war, and now all who participated were to attend a ball: a ball that could not be attended dateless.
