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.
Reviews for Fair Exchanges
Sneaky little vixen! That was extremely hot! Well done! I love the dynamic between them, how she uses her wiles and her wits to overwhelm his objections. So very well done!
(In the sixth paragraph there's a typo--"sp" instead of "so.")
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Ooh, good catch--thanks!
For a moment there I was worried that all this suspence was over some new book or something. THANK YOU! Update soon!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*snerk* now THAT would have been funny.
I liked how she was the one setting up the detention. It was really cool how you had her prove to him that she really has learned Occlumency. It was very nicely planned ;D And then the whole bit with her birthday, I just thought that was great :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks! I've worked on that chapter for months, literally; I wanted it to be just right.
Response from dancergirl117 (Reviewer)
I can definitely tell. It was wonderful! ;D
Interesting way to tell him. I liked that.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Herms thinks of everything.
Oh my God yessss! At least it was worth the wait. Its always so much better to let the sexual tension drag out. And damn, the way Hermione seduced Severus was hot and smart, just as she is. I'm glad to see he's taken no objection to it either,lol. Can't wait for more. This story and you are doing wonderful!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I think he was pretty ready to surrender at this point.
Lemon time!!! woohoo! See you after the next chapter!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Hee hee.
I love love this Hermione. Severus being toyed with mercilessly is just fun. Tsk tsk in ending it at that 
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Oh, but the next chappie will pick right up...
Response from wsanders (Reviewer)
Does that mean the next chapter will be ready soon? My you're spoiling us with these frequent updates. 
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Sadly, it's in my head, but I don't seem to have time to get it in the computer just yet.
That was an invitation than any sane man can hardly refuse.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
And Sev is one dismally sane guy.
What a way to celebrate a birthday!
I hope that by 'the time for language was ended' you don't mean to have no further detail of their night together... Agh! The chapters are so short, not that I'm complaining about the content of them. Please, more soon!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Bwahaha, don't worry, 44 is called "The Gift." I was only meaning their time for words, not necessarily the narrator's time... Trust your Fawkes. After 43 chapters, I've got to do SOMETHING to earn the R rating!
So awesome. Our Hermione certainly knows how to drive him wild! :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
That's our girl.
I've just caught up again. Let me congratulate you on a brilliant gimmick! The tactile/visual/aditory pleasure of his Legilimency and her use of it was really well done.Is it hot in here? I think I need a fan!Wonderfully well done, and I especially like his reaction. Good boy!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, he hardly had any arguments left, now, did he? (clever Herms).
that was quite the evil place to leave us my friend!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*bows* Just when you think I can't possibly leave a nastier cliffie...
*grins* I remember this! I had wondered when I was reading the last chapter, because my memory is, alas, not all it could be, but with this one, there's absolutely no denying it!
And mmm... very painfully delicious.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Hooray! Yeah, and remember how I told you it would be chapter 30 or so? HAH!
Fucking Merlin's balls.NICE!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*bows* Thanks!
"Snape resolved to send the Toad a saddle for Christmas every year for the rest of her life."And the laughter is back! :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
You knew it would return, didn't you?
Good god!!!! Sixteen years of a drought and now he's getting it from mares and his pseudo-nephew!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Ain't that always the way it is? Feast or Famine...
Aww, see! I was all in to that until Draco got all icky and kissed his uncle! Before that, I was thinking "aww," and imagining family barbeques and stuff!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
LOL, BBQ at Malfoy Mansion! Yikes, yikes, yikes. I wouldn't touch the potato salad to save my life.But they're not really related, it's just a term of affection. Even I wouldn't do THAT to Sevvie.
Oops!!!! Hermi's name slipped in there! I WONDERED why you'd picked all mythical names for them!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Heh heh heh. Well, that and they're mythical creatures, right? Worked out nicely.
Alright, several things to say. Firstly, as a reader of Ancient Greek, may I please THANK YOU for spelling Κλυταιμνήστρα right! But..yknow. In English.Secondly...SEV IS GONNA DO IT WITH FOUR HORSES?! That can't be right!!! LOL!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Hey, who says they can't have human anatomy all the way to thigh-level??Dude, would you go to my fic Heirs of Slytherin, chapter 21 and make sure it says what I think it says???
Kinda nice to see the missing moments. Written really well, by the way!!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks!
Awwww, Severus has a friend! :love:
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, the OWL has a friend. Whether Sev considers him a friend is kinda questionable.
Icky, creepy, eurgh. [It's possible to say that in a good way, right?]
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
LOL!
What a horrible nightmare. Poor Hermi'.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Yeah, but Snape will help make it go away. :)
Nice touch, regarding the revision timetables!Still enjoying it!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Glad to hear it!
