Angst Romance Potions Under Duress 75,033 Words 52 Chapters WIP
Albus Dumbledore Dolores Jane Umbridge Draco Malfoy Harry Potter Hermione Granger Lucius Malfoy Severus Snape Tom Riddle (Voldemort) Ronald Weasley James Potter Lily (Evans) Potter Sirius Black Remus Lupin Alastor (Mad-Eye) Moody Ginevra Weasley Gregory Goyle Kingsley Shacklebolt Luna Lovegood Millicent Bulstrode Neville Longbottom Nymphadora Tonks Pansy Parkinson Vincent Crabbe Original Character Peter Pettigrew Fawkes Firenze Bellatrix Lestrange Narcissa Malfoy Rubeus Hagrid

Hermione wants to learn Occlumency, but Severus Snape is not known for his generous nature. Both may learn more than they bargained for before the tale ends.

This is canon-compliant with books 5 and 6 and provides a behind-the-scenes story that JKR never even guessed...

Someone who really, REALLY ought to be doing something else, but just keeps on writing.

Wondering why my stories take forever?  Have a look at My Other Time Devourer:  www.willametteartcenter.com  I'm both the webmaster and the president of the Friends of the Visual Arts, a 501-C3 nonprofit in Salem, Oregon.  We Put The Fun Back In Art. 

    Having 2 sweet little boys tends to drag things out too. 

And what the heck, as long as it's self-pimpage time:  If you just can't wait for the next chapter of Fair Ex, you can always go buy my book.  It's not HP or fanfic but it's got that Fawkesy snark (in spades)  It's here: www.turondo.com  Warning: there's a bad word in the title.

I really like it thus far :) And I just LOVE that idea of yours :D "Everybody loves being read to at bedtime." is my new favorite quote ;) And the verbal spars between them are brilliant, not only the wording, but the whole idea of a "truth-and-honor-game" is IMHO really fitting :) So keep up the good work and I will sit in are nice quiet corner and wait for updates (which will hopefuly come sooner than later ;) ) 

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Thanks!  Glad you're enjoying it!

This is just great. Thanks for posting this here. I look forward to the next chapter already. Great plot.

Preposterous! Talk about straining at gnats! Bedtime stories?Suspending disbelief in the interim.....

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Patience, grasshopper.  Things aren't as simple as they seem.

Oh, good.  He came to his senses!  Dreams, huh?  She better bury those deeply!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Now, now, don't you trust him to uphold his word?

Bedtime stories. RIIIGGGHHT! I just cannot see Snape inviting a student to sit by him while he is lulled to sleep by a bedtime story. Doing job related tasks I can see, not this. Oh, well. I guess I will just have to read on to see how you are going to pull this off.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

*Snapesque sneer*  Invited?  Invited!  I believe this young lady foisted this unlikely scenario upon our favorite austere Potions Master.  Can he help it if any possibility (no matter how remote) of hastening the ending of Potter's Occlumency lessons is impossible to resist?Read on.  You won't regret it. *wink*

Response from Myst (Reviewer)

He still had to agree to it! The idea still makes me chuckle.

I love Snape the bastard, who turns into Snape the man in love in a matter of minutes.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

He always seems to know just what facade to slip on at any given time...

I love that these chapters are coming so quickly, but I don't think you can get the next chapter up fast enough for me, I am hooked.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Workin' on it!

Ack!  Since this was only part of a chapter, that means the next one will be up soon, right?  Please!

Matters of the heart, I know.? But I hope Hermione is smart enough to realize what he did.?

*sigh* How lovely was that?! I loved the end, don't we all want him?!

I've just read the ending of this fic over at MFF, and came straight over to see the chapter that had been updated her that we hadn't seen. So I thought I'd read the previous chapter to remind myself where we were in the story, but I don't remember this one, it made my giggle myself stupid!I love Malfoy's reaction, it's hilarious, and Snape was great, very sexy when he's like that!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

I think with a few select people, Snape MUST cut loose once in a while.  And who better than Lucius?

"I wanted to gnaw off my own leg, for the love of Merlin."LOL!!! This was a really fun chapter. I'm enjoying the story quite a bit.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Thanks!  Snape's so much fun to tease.

Another brilliant chapter!  I look forward to the next.Elen

Thanks!  It should be up soon.

It's never occurred to me, but 'adrenaline junkie' explains a lot about Harry.Hermione's insides metaphorically falling out is a great description. That said, it better not be a foreshadowing of the entrail expelling curse...Is Snape going to continue to stay out of Hermione's dreams? 'Cause it sounds like she's not really improving at Occlumency, and he did threaten to peek if she didn't.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

*Eeeevul cackle*  Oh, just wait until the next chapter, you'll find the answer to your last question.

ROFLMAO at the closing line of chapter 7. Brilliant job there on this chappie. So in character and so hilarious!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

I'm glad you're enjoying it!  :)

I love the effect that the simple, three-word thoughts inserted before the innocuous statement have.  He loves her.  She wants him.  Can't wait for the next chapter!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

I think it's pretty lucky that people can't hear those little pre-verbal sentiments.

Response from jenonymous (Reviewer)

Me too. I'm sure there are some instances where it would save a lot of time, but how much trouble would I be in as a result of all the other instances!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Oh, man, the good effects would NEVER outweigh the bad ones.  Especially with my devious little brain.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
