    Summary

    Hermione meant to go back to the night Severus Snape died.

    Before the blood and silence and all the truths learned too late.

    Instead, the Time-Turner shatters.

    Hermione falls nearly thirty years into the past and lands in Spinner’s End, where Severus Snape is not yet a spy, a professor, a murderer, a hero, or a dead man.

    He is nine years old.

    Thin, furious, brilliant, half-starved, and already expecting the world to hurt.

    Stranded in 1969 with no way home, no legal identity, and no idea how much damage one misplaced kindness might do to history, Hermione finds herself with Aunt Vera’s spare room, a broken Time-Turner, and a child who does not know how to be helped.

    There will be tea. Laundry. Drying charms. Butterbeer. Mistakes.

    And slowly, Hermione begins to understand that saving Severus Snape may have very little to do with the night he died.

     

    Author’s Note: This is eventual HG/SS, but the romance is a very late-story development. The early and middle sections focus on Hermione stranded in 1969, young Severus, found family, healing, and timeline changes. There is no romantic dynamic while Severus is a child.

    Summary

    The Kingdoms of Gryffindor and Slytherin have been at peace for almost two decades. Still, Queen Minerva fears this peace will end upon her death unless drastic measures are taken. When she is forced to admit that her adopted daughter Hermione is now an adult, she formulates a plan to ensure a lasting peace.

    King Severus is dedicated to maintaining peace, especially if it grants him his desire to remain alone. When Minerva informs Severus of her plan for a lasting peace, he is less than enthused, especially if it entails spending time with someone he views as nothing more than a brat.

    Princess Hermione is even less enthused with Minerva's plan. All her life, she's heard tales of King Severus' eccentricities and his sharp tongue. He is someone she wants to spend as little time with as possible.

    Can Hermione and Severus learn to work together to ensure peace, or is Minerva's plan doomed from the start? Will they grow to understand each other, or will they destroy each other along with their kingdoms? Is it possible to find love amongst royal intrigue, or will it collapse under the weight of their insecurities and secrets?
