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.

"His intimidation brought out her courage; his weakness would make her stronger. And she would hate him for it."Lovely.Your story is unlike any other HP fanfiction I've ever read.

You had me hooked from the bedtime story thing...I'm not a Hermione/Snape shipper by nature (I'm more of a Sirius/OC shipper, because Sirius really deserves some lovin' after 13 years in Azkaban) but I see Snape's appeal and I absolutely adore Hermione.Also....I went through hell and high water to read this fic.  Mugglenet wouldn't let me see it, so I came all the way here, registered with The Petulant Poetess and found your story on a hunch that it sounded intriguing...Which it is!  So...I'm off to chapter 2.-Christina

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

MNFF wouldn't let you see it??  Have I been banned over there?  Wouldn't surprise me, that's just my luck.*giggle* regarding Sirius shipping... if you can handle some squick, boot up my author page and read "Late Night Chat."

Are you telling me that one of the Centuras is wants to abort Snape's child/foal???????????????? Dont leave me hanging here! I have gotten used to a few chapters each night. Its going to be a sever case of withdrawl isnt it? Very sad.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

It kinda seems that way, huh?  But only the mare will know for sure...

10/10

MollysSister

You waited a YEAR between updates? Good heavens what have I got myself into reading this? Will I be your Draco who gets her heart trampled on waiting for postings that will never come?

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Sigh... They will, I promise.  I've just had a lot of RL going on lately. 

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

RL has an annoying habit of taking away from fan fic time doesnt it? Bad RL BAD!

MollysSister

I was sputtering with laughter at the idea of Viktor staking his claim on her crotch! I like your explanation better!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

LOL, well, that seemed to be the kind of idea Severus would come up with.

10/10

MollysSister

YIppppeeeeeee!!!! I am so glad he has given in!   He better not stop now or I'll strangle him myself!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

I don't think wild horses could stop him now...

MollysSister

You are SUCH a tease!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

MollysSister

Love was right out there with running off to the South Seas: an overreaction, far too intense for this point in her life. This line rang very true for me. I cant see Hermione falling head over heels for Snape at this point. He is the one who hinges his whole happiness at being near her. Rather dependant isnt it?

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Exactly.  She didn't go all ga-ga over Viktor, she's been entirely too patient with Ron, and I don't see her throwing herself at Snape.  Which is part of the point of this story, the idea that the power distribution has tweaked around so much, so the teacher is the powerless one and the kid holds the reins.  Fair exchanges?

10/10

MollysSister

I am impressed SEverus didnt overly freak out when she refered to him as her "boyfriend"

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

*sporfle*  As long as it's out of earshot of any other living or dead being, I think he's open to a lot of things.

10/10

MollysSister

ARe you planning on continuing this story through to the final battle? The correct answer is "yes Molly I would do all that and more for you"

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Yes and no.  I've always planned to run it through HBP, but the ending (which is already written) is not DH compliant.  I read DH rather sparingly, let me put it that way, and don't know the story details very well.

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

I wish I had not read DH either. Oh if I only had a time turner. You missed nothing of signigicance.

Hermione returns with a bang! ((giggles))

Do I get house points for recognizing Avery Goodun's Tratior right away? That was a lovely creepy fic wasnt it?Snape being sentimental is just adorable. I wonder if HG will pick up that its his last year? Oh wait she already knows that from her speculating.  

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Traitor is one of my favorite fanfics.  Ooooh, so creepy!

MollysSister

Clumps of hair gone? How vicious is that? Well done Narcissa. If Snape could just legilimize Draco then he wouldnt be so in the dark on at least this issue. frumps.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Heh, you know, that's true.  The trouble, of course, is that Voldy will undoubtedly be using Legilimency on Draco as well, and he's already instructed Snape to keep his nose out of this business...

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

Voldy doesnt really appreciate underlings who dont follow orders now does he?

10/10

MollysSister

What WHAT WHAT did I miss? Did Severus give him a healing potion or something? He looked away as to not see what he knew was going on? Am I being dim?

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

You're not alone... Most people don't get this chapter, but I never got around to rewriting it.  Snape gave Dumby a huge dose of his sunban potion (remember he drank just a spoonful in the dungeon, but gave Dumby a teacup).  That's why he comments about the sun being able to cause burns--because Dumby's injury is obviously a magical burn.

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

Tricky Fawkes! That makes sense b/c AD didnt want Snape to waste time trying to cook him up a potion that would help him. Thanks for explaining it to me! Now I can appreciate the sly humor at work.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Well, as long as Dumby and Sev understood what happened, it's all good.  AD talks in HBP about how Snape came up with some tidy solution that saved his life regarding that hand injury, so this was my version.

"Pettigrew, tonight I am well and truly fucked." Litterally and figuratively! Ha!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Exactively.  :)

MollysSister

So very clever of Albus to stage the conversation so that Riddle will have something to see. Not to mention assigning him "homework" to keep him away from Spinners End for a bit What are we going to name "the menace" owl?

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Fluffy?  Or maybe Igor...

When is the next one coming????

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

As soon as I get an hour of peace and quiet--life has gone into hyperdrive of late.

This is probably the best Severus/Hermione story i've ever read. You're writing is incredible. I can't wait for more

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Thanks!  There's lots more in my head, but no time to write...but soon.

MollysSister

And so the UST will continue for another 19 chapters right? we were thisclose !!! Fawkes you are such a tease.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Yeah, what can I say...

MollysSister

Personally I could be happy with drinks with paper umbrellas in them for quite some time. I do wish Snape would have asked for naked time as a stress reducer.

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Please tell me he is going to quit being a spy and not off himself?? ((wimpers0)

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Well, it's kind of an ambiguous statement, isn't it?

MollysSister

I am sure Sirius is spinning in his grave at the very thought of being Severus' lover. tee hee

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Oh, you KNOW it!  He probably ran full speed back at the veil, in an effort to strangle Snape.

0/10

MollysSister

He is NOT just going to give into the affair just because he doesnt have an iron clad excuse for Draco???!?! Say it isnt so Fawkes!

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Hee hee, you'll see--Our Sev always comes through under pressure.

MollysSister

You'll hook Draco up with Harry right? :D

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Bwahaha--believe me, this is about to become even more absurdly twisted.

MollysSister

Have I mentioned recently how much I enjoy your original characters in the centurs? I hope we will see them again in the future??

Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)

Hmmm... I know there's a brief revisiting but I hadn't had any specific plans for them.  Maybe I can work that in at some point; surely Snape goes into the forest sometime in HBP?

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

He would go into the forest to take a walk? gather potions ingredients, secret sun bathing spot, clandestine meeting, see if he fathered any foals, outdoor romp with HG. Plenty of reasons!!
