Summary: Not totally Deathly Hallows compatible. Hermione has been out of Hogwarts for three years and begins a potions internship at the Ministry of Magic…under Severus Snape. At first it’s horrible and Hermione hates it, but after a while, she and Snape soften towards each other and begin an affair that may ruin both their reputations, but is more amazing than anything they have ever experienced before. HG/SS, and a little HG/RW.
