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
Ahhhhh!!! I don’t know whether to scream or laugh hysterically!!! Maybe I will just cry instead….. Hermione in the hospital ward and Severus sticking his d**k everywhere. You really are an evil little puppet master. Although an entertaining one.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*grin* HAng on, Little Sev is still in his pants, there's still a chapter to go...
I read this late last night and didn't have the energy to review. You are one evil storyteller! How I ever got to sleep with the image of Malfoy kissing Snape I'll never know. Eeewwww! So when is our heroine gonna get some of that? hmmmm??? Now I'm off to peruse the next installment.....
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
She's next in line, I promise... *wink*
abusing your characters (original or borrowed) is certainly the author's perogative, but as a reader not in the first blush of youth, I must protest the whirlwind ride....I 'm having a bad month or three right now, do try to be a little gentler?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Don't worry, Snape's Worst Day is coming to a close.
So disapointing! What about this great love he has for Hermione? I think Severus is smart enough to reject Draco's advances without ruining things. I feel like your sullying a promising SS/HG romance--it'll never seem the same way again!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Patience, grasshopper--it's not over yet. Snape just needs something to really inspire him.
"You're very beautiful." "Oh, Severus."
Oh God. I quit.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
It's not over yet...I promise. One more chapter and his day will get back to normal.
Wow, both Hermione and Draco. OK.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
It seems that way...but Severus is a resourceful guy.
Dude, WHERE is this going now? Every chapter Sev finds a new way to get laid. ROFL!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I know, isn't it beautiful? This after 16 years of nothing. Doesn't it always work out that way?
<3 i love it. Severus' inner conflict was masterfully portrayed. Well played Severus, well played.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks! He's not quite done yet...
*runs screaming*
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Don't panic! It'll all work out for the best!
No, you didn't! I hope he'll feel very remorseful, confess his sins to Hermione and grovel at her feet for forgiveness. He hadn't had any qualms in putting Hermione at arms' length, while she's older than Draco, and he's going to do Draco not to hurt his feelings? My mind can't wrap itself around this notion.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, it's two different situations. Draco requires handling with kid gloves because one word to Dad could make a LOT of trouble. True, Herms could get him fired from Hogwarts, but that's peanuts compared to Lucius Malfoy's potential to utterly hose Snape. Plus, with Hermione, he refrained out of respect for her youth and the inequity of their relationship. With Draco, he's thinking only in terms of what would serve him (Snape) best. E.g. how cruel would it be to have a fake love affair with Draco when he's already strung out about his dad's imprisonment? There's more than meets the eye here, AND it's not over yet...
This must go down in history as a BAD DAY amoung bad days! I just finished reading the last chapter and thinking "WHAT!?!" when I saw this new chapter pop up. Definitely building a strong base for tension between these two during the next year. . .I think Severus needs a vacation a long way away from Hogwarts and anyone who knows him after this day. . .
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*snort* Snape's needed a vacation for about 10 years. This is what happens when you live for your work.
You didn't just do that! Snape is such a slut! Hermione's going to emasculate him!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Now, now, it ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Response from Bambu (Reviewer)
... says the woman who had Snape sleep with a dozen centaura! Or is the plural of centaura, centauras or centauri? ::snicker::
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
A dozen?! There are only four in the whole forest!! Unless Bane and Magorian and some of their buddies snuck in there...Okay, that even grossed ME out.
Response from Bambu (Reviewer)
Bane and Megorian ... UGH! ::shudder:: Okay, four ... all right, all right. But still. That's a rather wild night for Snape. He's only one man after all. Actually, I gave the centaura credit for knowing more than they let on, and for taking advantage for broader purposes than toying with a wizard.
0_o... oh... Woah....
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, like he told Voldy, it's not unheard-of, you know...
You are so evil! You CAN'T finish it there, what the hells going on?! First the Centuras and now Draco! When's poor old Hermione gonna get some action?!I thought I'd done with choking for the day, after chapter 25, but this rendered me speechless! And I was glad he was feeling some guilt for his tumble in the woods whilst Hermione had been going through all that, I can forgive him now.Fantastic chapter!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Thanks! And this IS snape we're talking about--the guilt is yet to come...
How does he manage it? Holding all that in until he got back to his chambers, but that's what's so fascinating about him.Another fab chapter, as always.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
That is the Snape Way.
I think this is going to be one of my favorite chapters, I loved it!"Did you come here on horseback?" That tickled me, if Wormtail had phrased it another way, I can imagine Snape's rather smug smirk! "I was being laid, my lord" That one had me choking on my peanut butter sandwich, it was truly genius!And what about Hermione's name popping in there, he really needs to be more careful, good job old Voldy "barely registered the others" or he could've been in deep doo!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I warned you in the Author's Notes not to eat or drink while reading that chapter! Take heed, readers--anyone who has peanut butter fly out of their nose is on their own.
Hurrah! A lovely new chapter! I came over from Mugglenet, after all that business with the story and have been following since, reading the chapters I've already read, desperately waiting for a chapter I haven't read, and would you believe it, I log on today and there are 3!!This one is just great, no wonder Umbridge freaked when Ron made the clip-clopping noise, that always made me giggle, and now it will even more, serves the old Toad right!Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I hear that! Did you go back to the Real Chapter 8?
Severus redeemed himself in my eyes this chapter by realising what was going on with Hermione while he was cavorting with the centaura. Can't say I forgive him completely though! But that bit with distraught Draco was sweet, I sortof expected the kiss, poor Draco was so lost! I hope Severus lets him down gently. I also liked your thoughts on the Malfoy family. They're definitely not nice in the least, but they do seem to genuinely love & care for each other.But please, no more weird pairings, if Wormtail, or God forbid, Kreacher, decide to throw themselves at Severus too, then I will have to raid the freezer for lots of comfort Haagen-Dazs!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, there's always Voldy...but not for now. I think I'll let poor Sev relax a bit after Draco...
"Lucius had specific ambitions, and they generally involved serving the Master just enough to be first in line to take over when he inevitably fell." That, and the whole dare-he-call-it-a-family thing--both brilliant. Fabulous. And once again you cork me right around with the last two paragraphs. Who knew this was going to be one of those kinds of fics? [An aside: Irish and American wizardkind drink Firewhiskey. That which is distilled in Scotland is "Firewhisky" (no -e-) according to my Scottish-born beta and pal Fish and Bird, whose excellent drama may be read on hpff.com.] I'm so glad you update so frequently.

Oooh, good to know! *dashes off to edit*
Response from jenonymous (Reviewer)
The Snapish Inquisition! HA!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
I KNOW!!! Isn't that hilarious??? I gotta use that in the fic later--maybe that's what he gets when Hermione starts hearing some of these rumors.
Awwww... toddler! Draco making raspberries on the Dark Mark... if that doesn't give you the warm fuzzies, what will? Well, probably a lot, come to think of it. Poor Snape. Will he get to check into a nice padded cell soon? Hope so.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Are you kidding? Snape's a tough guy. He can handle this. So to speak.
Um, OK?? I wasn't expecting that.? But another lovely chapter.?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
No one expects the Snapish Inquisition...*groans*Oh, that was just wrong.
Draco!!! lol. this is very interesting....hmmm... making out with ur uncle? oh draco...
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
Well, they're not REALLY related... it's just a term of, erm, affection.
Response from togspled (Reviewer)
true, they aren't really related... i suppose you're right. i'd like to recieve some affection from Draco in the form of that hot kiss.
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
!! *evil grin* Ditto.
I appreciate your style of writing, and the story up to chapter 24 was very good. The buildup of the relationship between Snape and Granger was excellent - every bit as good as some of the other stories like Falling Further In, etc. However, this Snape is becoming a lewzur that, hopefully, Hermione can soon forget about. This is too close to incest. I barely dealt with the beastiality (centauras??? Really squicky.), but this is making Snape out to be something that I don't like. Won-Won doesn't seem too bad now, huh?
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*sporfle* Now, now, you've made some assumptions. First of all, you have yet to see how Snape's going to react to this latest invitation. Second, do you think he had much choice with the centaura? The deadliest creatures in the Forest...how does one say no?
Response from Severessa (Reviewer)
*Sigh* I am glad to hear that Snape may not yet become Draco's "Funny Uncle", I guess that I will have to see. But, get real. When a man is face-to-nipple with perky, bouncy breasts, "deadly" makes no difference. "OOOH, OOOOH! Twist my arm a little more!! Umm, lessee...OK!! WHOOPEE!!"
ACH!! You Woman you!! On the verge of being REALLY unhappy with you and these damnable cliffies! I mean it, you just are not nice. Snugglin' down with a WAFF with Sev actually hugging Draco, awwww, how cute was that... and then you go and drop that bomb and run. I thought you had finally grown up and matured beyond that silly game. I solemnly swear that I will NOT read one more chapter of this for at least 24 hours. So there.
I'm so distraught that I can't even tell you how hysterically I laughed about the raspberry, now. Gheeze!
Response from Fawkes_07 (Author of Fair Exchanges)
*kicks back and eats a bonbon in contented smugness*PS What's a WAFF? Warm After-Five Frankfurter?
Response from Darque Hart (Reviewer)
Warm After-Five Fankfurter!! You mean like a hot weinie?
Silly girl, WAFF = 'warm and fuzzy feeling'. Story codes from over at adultfanfiction. You need to get out more ... after the story is finished.

Hey, I'm a fossil, what can I say. With oh, so much free time.
