    Summary

    October 1998. The war is over, the survivors are picking up the pieces, and Severus Snape is trying very hard to leave an Order party without talking to anyone.

    He fails.

    Two thirds of the Golden Trio find him in the corner with his Ogden's. Potter is missing a shoe. Weasley ends up on the floor. And somewhere in the middle of the chaos, Snape learns that Hermione Granger, the most relentlessly present person he'd ever had the misfortune of teaching, has been standing silent at the back of the room all evening; hiding behind her hair, slipping away before anyone could look at her too closely.

    She didn't ask for his concern. She probably doesn't want it. He goes looking for her anyway.

    What he finds in the overgrown garden of Grimmauld Place will change the carefully reconstructed shape of his post-war life.

    Updates will be posted every Sunday. Thank you for being here!

    Summary

    The Ministry tried to bury them, Society wanted to forget them.

    Unspeakable Partners Hermione Granger and Severus Snape are just trying to survive their terrible jobs when an accident in the Death Chamber adds a new, deliciously dangerous element to the mix: a Dark Lady from an alternate timeline wearing an all-too familiar face. She's hell-bent on bringing the Wizarding World into the 21st Century, and all too happy to grind their axes for them.
