Life in the Wizarding World, 10 years after the end of the Battle of Hogwarts. Hermione is the Minister of Magic and wants to help Severus who had been living as a near hermit since the end of the battle, but as the reason for his withdrawal becomes apparent will Hermione be able to help him before it's too late? Some of these characters have been borrowed from JKR, some are my own. Some 'mature' scenes, a bit of angst but always a Happy Ever After... I hope you enjoy my story - if you do I'd love to hear from you :) If you're not into the whole Severus/Hermione ship then this may not be the story for you, although please be assured that Hermione was way over the age of consent, was Minister of Magic and in no way coerced by Severus!
