Humor Mystery/Suspense Drama Angst Romance Epilogue post-HBP/HBP compliant post-DH/DH What Epilogue? Potions Under Duress 18,380 Words 6 Chapters Complete
Hermione Granger Severus Snape

Hermione seeks an elusive cure for the lasting effects of a curse Bellatrix Lestrange managed to hit her with during the Battle of Hogwarts. Her life has been lost to endless bouts of pain and despair that have plagued her these last two years. But her luck may finally be changing. A reference to a Dark potion in an obscure book may hold the key to her cure. But where will she find a Potions master knowledgeable enough to brew it? Written for Warded_Portal for the SSHG Winter 2007 exchange.


Prompt: AU, EWE: Hurt/comfort. Years after the final battle, Hermione struggles daily with the after effects of Bellatrix Lestrange's special brand of Crucio. St. Mungo's advises treating the symptoms, but Hermione wants to live her life. She goes to the oldest center of Wizarding population, Alexandria, Egypt, chasing a rumour: a Potions master with a dual expertise in Legilimency. For some reason, he doesn't want to help her. Without knowing his true identity, Hermione must persuade him she is worth his time. Romance, happy ending please. (Bonuses include: archaeology, magical artifacts, history, dusty libraries, and moments of crazy stupid in love).

I am amazed and enthralled with the Harry Potter universe, with the emphasis on Snape. HG/SS is my favorite ship (you have been warned). I like sci-fi ? Star Wars, Quantum Leap, Star Trek, and Ray Bradbury to name a few. Horror also catches my interest as in Stephen King. I am a married, mother of two teenagers, multiple pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, turtle), and I work way too many hours. The rest is window dressing and subject to change without notice. I am also on staff on a wonderful new site called Playwitch. Visit when you get a minute: WWW.Playwitch.net

Wow I didn't expect Hermione to be a Horcrux.  How very intriguing.

I'm wondering why Severus won't help her.  Does he believe that there is no sch potion?  I would think he would soak her for as much money he could.

I read the whole thing at once so, I'm only leaving one review.  Very interesting, glad to see you writing again....

Oh, I'm so glad you posted it here. I read it on another site almost a year ago.  I would hit random stories and read whatever.  In the beginning there were a handful of authors I would recognize as having written other stories I had liked, you were one of those.  I didn't review (bad behavior, I know), but I figured no one cared what a stranger thought.  So thanks for all those wonderful stories and know that you helped to get me hooked on fanfiction.

Ha! I wonder why I never read this before, but it really lightened up what will be a very tiring and stressful day (9 a.m. here right now). Thank you!

This story is still just as great as it was the first time I read it!!!!

Aww, sweet ending.

This was *wonderful*!  The perfect dessert to a very filling Thanksgiving meal.  Thanks so much!

Seems like these two are avoiding what's really going on here.  At least Ginny isn't hiding anything.  Now, Harry, I'm not sure if it's good that he's come for a heart to heart.

Hopefully everything will go as planned.  It's that Gryffindor foolishness that makes me so optimistic.

Well, my glee at being right was dampened by the possibility of Hermione becoming a Squib.

Is she a Horcrux for Bellatrix?

What an interesting first chapter.  I hope you have had a wonderful holiday.  It is 11 pm here so I'm just reading the first chapter tonight however first thing tomorrow I'm going to finish this.  So far it looks really good.

Wonderful. Fluffy. Non-angsty. A great read for my Thanksgiving before-bed enjoyment! Thank you.

REally, the man didn't have to think too hard. And I'm disappointed in Harry's lack of maturity regarding Severus.  Surely the memories that Snape allowed him to see made a difference??  Good thing Ginevra's his better and smarter half.

Lovely finish!

This is sooo sweet.  Snape carrying Hermione to bed personally.  I love how they're getting along (even though Severus doesn't think so)!

Took Harry long enough to realise just what risks Snape is taking to save Hermione.

Good analogy.

Crossing my fingers for all parties, esp. Hermione.  Here goes.

Aha, she needs to do some research.  She is good at that!

Ugh.  Hermione is a you-know-what?!  Oh no.  Now the Prince MUST help her!  That crazy bitch tormenting Hermione--awful.

I like, i like!!!
