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.

ok so i have waited and waited will i have to wait as long for thr next updtaeand just so you know i enjoyed this chapter i had to go back and read a little to rember the story but i did emjoy it thsnk you
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I hope you won't have so long to wait. I've almost got "Heirs" finished...
OMG. I love this story. I hate this story. I want Snape with Hermione. Why does he have to do all these personal things to be a spy? I know, I know, this is very realistic. But I don't want "my" Snape to be with men, or other women for that matter. I have tried to stay away from this story, but the lure is strong. What to do, what to do?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I think a spy of his mettle has to do things above and beyond the call of duty. Which is exactly why Snape's so fascinating.
So glad to see you've posted again. I was very fond of this fic and glad of your intentions to continue. I hope Hermione will be able to handle this deception with Draco.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Lots of challenges ahead.
Well talk about a way to wake up a dead horse. You are right I thought you had forgotten about this story. I am so glad that you have not! Irish
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Can't forget this one--it's my favorite. I just need time to do it justice.
I kind of like where you took this. It makes sense. Mind you, I wasn't quite as wild about the centaur thing...Interesting story, very creative. I hope you continue the story.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I have to. I've had the ending written for over a year now.
Severus, you bad boy. :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
ain't it the truth.
Ooh, I'm so excited to see where you're taking this! I was very happy to get an email saying that you had updated, heh. This is a very interesting plot turn... I wonder how Hermione will react... Looking forward to the next chapter :)
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Gotta get that HBP backstory brewing...
I'm glad to see this continued!That said, you got it right with some of us not liking this chapter, but then I do prefer my SSHG unadulterated.Still good, nice and wacky. Certainly funny, you haven't lost your touch!Looking forward to more, regardless of the direction this is headed in. Poor Snape!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Poor Snape, indeed.
oy vey. ??!?!?!!!!?!!?! well, I'm glad you updated...although I think this chapter falls under the category of "things I'd rather I didn't know". good luck with finishing the Heirs of Slytherin; I can't wait until you really get going on this story again. even though I still can't believe I'm reading it. I mean, I don't even LIKE smut...but i love this story. hmm.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
It's disgusting, and yet you can't stop watching, huh?
Response from mock_turtle (Reviewer)
basically. :)
Response from mock_turtle (Reviewer)
I also really, truly, and honestly like the plot. i love how many different permutations there are of "snape and hermione discover their undying love for each other". yours is quite original, for a number of reasons.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you could finally update this! I'm having a pig of a day in work, and this has cheered me right up! Thank you so much. I hope you can get more update done soon.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Perfect! It gave me a good laugh too.
You'll make Severus go round every sexual situation that can be imagined! Will Hermione ever know? I'm not sure she'd take well this kind of development.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
That's the idea--on both counts. But our Sev is a package deal (no pun intended) and his past continues to affect the present...
love it i've read the one on mugglenet fanfiction
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
This is the Unexpurgated version... :)
"history had proven time and time again that it was a dreadful mistake for an invading militia to attempt a crossing of the Russian steppes"
:D Indeed!
I'm continuing to enjoy the way you've woven your tale into HBP.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks! More to come as soon as life allows me a quiet moment to write...
I should really start checking for updates more often. This was a really great chapter. When Snape thought this: "Up yours, Bellatrix." Dear God, I thought I was going to die I was laughing so hard. This was great and I'm looking forward to reading the next few chapters when I get the chance! :D
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Glad you got a giggle!
oh man, i just have to write to say that this chapter made me laugh out loud! too funny! i can't wait to keep reading, this is very good work!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Yay! I love the fact that I'm not the only one with such a tweaked sense of humor!
I've just read all of your posted material in as short a time as is physically possible for someone who needs to sleep and eat and all of that. I can't really think of an adequete compliment for this piece, and I'm almost sure that doing so would require hours with a dictionary. Needless to say, I'm impressed. Please accept my lack of words for complete amazement at the quality of this writing. I really just don't have the vocabulary to express how much I enjoyed it. :o) Can't wait for more.Appreciative of your time and effort for such a kickass story,Sue.Oh, and P.S.Draco and Snape?BRILLIANT.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*blush* Thank you! What a great way to start the morning.
I was going to wait to review until I read all that was posted of this story. However, this chapter made me pretty much stop breathing. You are so talented, I can't take it.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*blush* awwwwww... Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
eeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!! ONTO THE SEX!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*snerk* Patience, grasshopper. Snape's a very patient man...and totally into delayed gratification.
This is exquisite! I wonder how do you intend to keep them together. Infortunately, we have "annoying Ron" to interfere! Please, don't follow the cannon!This is perfect!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I do have a plan, believe it or not. Glad you're enjoying it!
A spendid reunion, with a nice, little release of tension. It was absolutely perfect!!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*big grin* Thanks!
lovely chapter..... in fact the story is really excellent... please update soon........
can't wait to read how you build it upto the ending (have already read that on mugglenet)
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
awwww...that takes half the fun out of it! Well, it's going to be a little different tack than the OOTP half of the story--the stakes are higher all around in HBP, after all. But I think it'll work.
Exquisite. Is it hot in here or is it just me?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*bows* I'm glad to hear it. I was afraid my style wouldn't really work on the fluffy parts.

Not too incoherent to say "Yummy chapter!"
Thanks for the update and hope more follows soon...
Author's Response: Sniffle...and I was so hoping for incoherence. Well, maybe in a future chapter.
At last, loving without manipulations.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
A bit different flavor from the previous action, eh?
This chapter was a perfect reunion. It was definitely fluffy and so.....wow. That was hot. Loved the H/S action and can't wait for more again. You made this pairing cute and believable as always; you so deserve a whole basket of chocolate eggs for that. :D Have a great Easter!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Hee hee, I may have to go back to the store and buy another Dove Bunny...although the sprots never eat all of their bunnies, so it's a bit overkill.
