Chapter 4 of 5
slytherinlaurelHermione and Severus unexpectedly find themselves embarking on Yule together.

The burst of sound caught her by surprise as something bounced off her wards. Cautiously going to her door, Hermione thought it odd that something would roam this part of the castle late on Christmas Eve. Slowly opening the door, a growing sliver of light revealed a box, unwrapped but with a note affixed.
Professor Granger,
Please accept this as my gift to you. Enclosed you will find instructions and ingredients for a Yule candle that I believe you will find pleasing.
Sincerely,
SS
Hermione paused, wondering if accepting this offering was a good idea. While ill-tempered, his spiteful side seemed to have faded in the years since the war. With mild trepidation she decided to proceed, albeit with caution. Carefully removing the ingredients from their package, Hermione set up a cauldron and began to brew the potion that would be poured into the mould he provided.
The instructions indicated a cooling charm could be used to set the candle, and she soon found herself sliding the pillar from its slender mould, inhaling the soft scent of ginger that arose. Taking a deep breath, Hermione conjured a ball of flame and lit the candle before her in a blue starburst.
A/N: Thank you to my amazing and gracious beta, Nanacu.

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.

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? :)

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.
