    Summary

    Thirteen years after leaving Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is Not Okay. Her relationship with Ron has crumbled. She's burnt out and quit the Auror Office. She still hasn't been able to find her parents to reverse their memory spell, and all her money has gone on a probably-repossessed house and a wedding which will never happen. Harry and Ginny would let her stay on their sofa forever, of course, but they have a new baby, and Hermione has enough trouble sleeping. So she's left with one, final, awful choice - to go to the only place she knows she can't be turned away: the house of the insufferable man whose life she saved the day Voldemort died - Severus Snape.

    Snape is, shall we say, not pleased with this turn of events.

    ***COMPLETE!***

    Summary

    Snape's first question to Harry about wormwood and asphodel was not just a potions question, but also a message, which in the language of flowers meant "I bitterly regret Lily's death".

    Harry never gets the message behind the question, but what if Hermione does, years later?

    Not canon-compliant, but canon-inspired.
