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.

Ga no! It just figures Sevs good intentions for Hermione ended up becoming mucked up. I just hope she made it worth his while and I really hope there will be some way these two can finally form the two-backed beast beacuse if anyone needs some lovin its our Snarky Defense Professor,lol. Good chapter even if I was hoping for some boom-boom. Your style and dialogue never fail to deliver. Anxiously awaiting more!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Oh, they did the deed--read the very end closely. Sev was just forced to adapt a more passive role... :)
Oh, I was following this story at MNFF and I am so glad you are keeping it here, posting it all! I completely agree with you, the scene with the centauras could NOT be taken from the story. I hope RL gives you a rest and a chance to update soon.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
LOL, well, I hope so too!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
LOL, well, I hope so too!
Eek. Ballsy girl!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I know. I couldn't do it...though when I was 16 and thin I might have been able to pull it off. If I had a little herbal enhancement, maybe.
I do hope the next chapter tells all!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
almost all. 44 will cover the rest.
She wanted a boyfriend, dammit, someone she could parade around with in front of those smug ding-bats and snog away some of the day's passions, not a lifelong committment to long black hairs in the sink.As amusing as that is (:-D), I'm hurt of Severus' behalf. Poor guy!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, he IS robbing the cradle, after all.
And I love it when you torture him too! :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Torture is great, n'est-ce pas?
By the blood of Merlin, I'll soon be puffing out my chest and crowing if I'm not careful.haha. I luff Snape. :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
sigh...isn't he dreamy? *giggle, snort*
Doesn't seem like Snape to do something so risky as have a rose waiting for Hermi! Particularly if he had to ask the House-elves to do it!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, it was Invisible, except to her. And besides, servants always have the scoop on their "masters," I think he understands that. good thing the elves are so loyal...
I like that you had Vold hiding outside of the UK -- that was a nice touch, and something I don't see often enough. I don't want JKR to go out of Britin in HP7 herself, but all the same, it's nice that we fanficers can...
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I love using interesting locations in my fics when I get a chance. And a former Gulag near the Tunguska Meteorite is just so perfect for Voldy...
See, Snape is a nice 'ne after all! I KNEW it. :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
He tries so hard to be a tosser, but he can't keep his golden heart hidden from me...
Since the beginning of sixth year I wondered if you'll incude Hermione's birthday as it's in september. And I am absolutely not disapointed of what you do with that event.
But something is bothering me about the date. I think the year must be 1996 and not 1997 since, as along as I recall, Harry is born in 1980 (just like me). So he began Hogwarts in 1991 when he was 11. But Hermione is a year older than him as she turned 12 in september from her first year. Am I wrong ?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, I might have screwed it up...shoot, you're right, year 6 IS 1996. I've been writing so much Book 7 stuff that I used the wrong year. *dashes off to fix*
you pick my curiosity wiht this challenge. I want to know what's her secret now. And Severus shouldn't be astonnished by Hermione's progress. After all she always is the best in every subject she studies.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I hope your curiosity was satisfied!
"return the favor" you already talked about that before. I hope to see this soon.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Patience, grasshopper!
Secret relationship are always complicated. Hoping that she can deal with it. And knowing Snape I'm sure he'll take advantage of Hermione's proposal : "And every belittling comment, beknownst to you alone, is a promise to set your body afire that very same night". That girl is quite smart you know *evil grin*
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Oh, I think they'll both take advantage of that!
This is going to be not only a great year for him but for me too. Or at least a great summer.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
LOL, well, I hope I have time to write it all before summer's over!
yay! go hermionehow griffindor, bravo!im so excited for the next chapter. gah i hope she doesn't get preggers. that would be interesting though.Lilly
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I think she and Snape are too smart and too paranoid to let a detail like that go unnoticed.
Response from LillyGranger (Reviewer)
Good point, unless one thought the the other would take care of it. Never seen that one before. But Hermione probably would have considering she seduced him in the first place :D.I love your story, and now realize the idiocy of the preggernessness.(lol)Your characters are far to realistic for that, and it's why I read this.Lilly
I've been attached to this story for hours only to find that the last update ended in a terrible cliffhanger!!!!!! I certainly can't resume reading the texts my boring professor told us to read filled with anxiety!!!! I'll fail my exam tomorrow!
Please update soon! I'm begging you here!
Regards,

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Sigh...I have it all mapped out in my head, but I haven't had time to write it yet! Soon...
cruel. cruel. cruel. I expect updates as soon as humanly possible. Those cliffies... >:I
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, you ought to expect them by now, silly.
Hmmph. I have no comments for people who write cliffhangers. It's just rude.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
But it keeps you coming back, doesn't it??
Way to go Hermione! Very hot, I loved it! Can't wait to find out what happens next!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*bows* Soon, soon...
I love this story, but I especially loved this story--it was hot! I like how you didn't rush to this part of the story, but let the tension build up. I think it made it that much better.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks! That's what I was trying for.
Just read the entire story in one sitting. Took awhile but I just couln't stop. By far the best story I have read yet. Wanted to rate,in particular, the very last chapter because I thought it was so well done (not implying that the others are not). This lead up to a very important moment was just stunning. Bravo! Can't wait to see what happens next!!!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Cool! Welcome aboard!
Great story. Loved the last chappie. It was very hot.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Yay!
