Severus Snape lives his life in shadows with the goal of redemption and the specter of his demise at the forefront of his life. People he trusted always used him and gave up on him. He never thought someone would ever believe that he could be loved and redeemed. And he never thought he'd ever discover a desire to live and come to a realization that perhaps not all is lost.

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.

' One puff, and then a second. He simply couldn't stop himself from going for another drag. Just like he couldn't stop averting his gaze towards her sleeping figure, bathed in moonlight. One more glance and then I'm done. But he knew he was lying to himself; right from having their clothes being unbuttoned, to being an entangled mess together- the memory burns a vivid picture in his mind. The brown of her eyes- so warm, so intense, as if he knew looking deep into them was going to leave a mark on his soul. One more puff, and then I'd stop. But her skin, all soft and smooth seemed to inch closer, as though his touch was burning her to ashes. And she wanted to be burnt. Their moans were muffled within the confines of these walls, like the rings of smoke clouding his vision. Her lips that moved in complete sync with his own- disguising as his rehab, only to taunt him into relapsing. He looked at the cigarette in his hand and then at her, and just wondered- Why was I under the wrong addiction all this time? ' It has been some time since the war and most of them had moved on. But not her. She was trying to but one tempestuous night someone arrives at Hermione's doorstep like a hurricane. And the world comes crashing down at her feet. What will she do now? #slowburn #triggerwarning #mature content

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.

Severus Snape finds himself alive after the war, saved by none other than the insufferable know-it-all. But did he even want to be saved? Hermione on the other hand finds herself unconsciously, albeit dangerously drawn to the broken man. She vows to herself that if he needs her, she'll be there. But you can only help someone who wants to be helped.... What happens when he finds himself face-to-face with just the person he was trying to avoid, because she makes him forget everything he thought he knew about himself?

"Did you ever consider having that arm examined by a professional healer?" His question put an end to her chain of thoughts, prompting her to look down at the still raw wound on her forearm, where Bellatrix's dagger had carved up her flesh to spell out the word- Mudblood. The bandage that she always kept wrapped around her arm to carefully cover the brand had been removed and it was bleeding again. No matter what she did to staunch it, the injury seemed to be a pain in her ass, stubbornly fighting to make it's presence known and now it had somehow taken a worse form. Snape couldn't hide his flinch as his eyes refused to be torn away from the bruise and it was hard to tell whether it was her predicament or the term itself that disturbed him more. "It's killing you." **************************** This story is set post war. Hermione has joined back in Hogwarts to finish her education when she realizes that stress and trauma has caught up to her and now she has to deal with a terminal curse. As she struggles to cope with the disease physically and emotionally, she finds the unlikeliest of persons as her caretaker and companion. #triggerwarning for anyone suffering from terminal diseases or chronic illness. Every life is precious and unique and everyone reacts in different ways to suffering. This story is not meant to be didactic or propound any moral cause. And again, I won't be giving any trigger-warnings at the beginning of the chapters so as to not spoil the surprises. I hereby give an overall trigger-warning since the whole theme is adult as well as the sexual content
