Chapter 5 of 5
slytherinlaurelHermione and Severus unexpectedly find themselves embarking on Yule together.
Disclaimer: Not mine. This is completely a not-for-profit operation.
Hermione gasped as she felt a tug behind her navel. The momentum brought her to her knees as she landed gracelessly and sent the candle tumbling to the cobblestones.
Looking around, she noticed a black-clad figure standing next to her, looking very much out of place against the whitewashed buildings as he held a white candle.
“Where are we?”
“Somewhere in the Mediterranean, by my guess.”
“Why…”
“It takes you to the place you most want to be.”
“How can that be when I don’t even know where here is?” Hermione demanded.
“What did you think as you stormed out of the staff room?” Severus prodded.
Hermione sucked in her breath. “Anywhere but here.”
Severus nodded. “This turned out well, I’d say, since it could have sent us to the North Sea.”
“You didn’t know where it would take us?”
“I believe I already said as much.”
“But why are we both here?” Hermione asked, clearly bewildered.
“You thought I would leave that part to chance?” Severus paused and watched a smile of understanding creep into Hermione’s eyes. “I’ve been thinking it’s time to sail off the end of the map and was wondering if you’d care to join me?”
A/N: It’s my pleasure to offer this to sylvanawood as part of the Slytherin House Yule Exchange. I used all three of her prompts, as follows:
1. Severus helps Hermione buy Christmas presents the recipients actually like.
2. Severus and Hermione decorate the staff room for Yule.
3. Hermione learns from Severus how to make a special Yule candle that has some secret hidden properties that are released when burned: up to the author what that is.
As always, thank you to my amazing 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.

"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.
