Chapter 3 of 5
slytherinlaurelHermione and Severus unexpectedly find themselves embarking on Yule together.

“This isn’t how it ends,” Hermione barked as she turned to face Severus.
“How utterly idealistic of you,” he said, his dark eyes hardening.
“Everything was laid out, everything was exactly as it was supposed to be—” Hermione cringed, hearing the pleading note in her voice.
“Clearly not exactly as it was supposed to be,” he challenged as Hermione’s face flushed. “Then why are you here? Why come back to Hogwarts?”
Hermione’s glassy eyes stared into his as she slowly shook her head. “This is home.”
“You could have gone somewhere else.”
“No,” she whispered.
“This is the last place left on your map?”
“The last place I can remember feeling safe,” Hermione said haltingly.
“The last place you remember being the you that you imagined for yourself,” he stated, stopping his advance to look at her, cautiously searching.
“I need to start over, Snape.”
“You can’t go back to start over.”
“How utterly cliché,” Hermione snapped.
“Using an old map won’t get you where you need to go,” Severus assured her.
“And you?” Hermione paused in her pain as she watched him intently. “There aren’t monsters past these borders. Not anymore.”
“My map hasn’t changed in decades, Granger.”

Hey, Honey! This was very cute, I just read all the posted chapters today. :-) I really enjoyed it! Is it complete? Because it seems like it reached a conclusion, but is there more? I'm just wondering because it's still listed as a WIP. Whether complete or not, its still awesome. Thanks for sharing. Much Love ~ Brena
lovely update. thanks and happy new year smoochies
And what does the candle do? Sing a song or deliver a message from Dear Potions Master?
Also as a non native speaker I have a question. Wether there is a little typo (taking a deep breath without the "L") or I've just learned a new expression, but I fail to understand exactly what it means. Care to help a poor girl who's only the HP world to improve his second language?
Well at least Severus gave her a gift.
Hmm. Interesting gift. :)
And "Poof" she turned into a toad! Well, I know that doesn't happen, but it would be funny.
squeeeeeeeee....an update, I love it....I'm glad Severus gave her a present
WOW, I just happened across this story, and I'm hooked..can't wait to see what happens next!!! WELL DONE!!!
Oh I want to see more!
oh, I like this!
With a bit of luck, and if they follow closely the indications on their respective maps they'll bump into each other for good.

"My map hasn't changed in decades". I like that. :)

They obviously both need new maps! :)
Hopefully these 'maps' will lead them together.
This was a good chapter.
Pretty harsh of him.
Why is he so interested? :)
*squee* th ereturn of the white knight. I'm sure he'll save her from a lonely Christmas.
I can imagine Hermione getting lost in a quiddich shop. Sev' the white knight coming to save the damsel in distress... *snicker*
Can't wait to see where this will go.
looking forward to reading the next chapter.
This is wonderful and very moving - more, please!

You're off to a good start. I can't wait to see how she'll respond.
