Severus is found alive after the final battle, and the Wizengamot, in their wisdom, sentences him to five years of probation at Hogwarts.

Reviews for Heaven or Hell
Interesting premise. I like the story so far!One small mistake in the chapter though... Dumbledore did not 'stun' Harry on the tower- If he did that, Harry would have been unconcious. He used Petrificus totalus, which 'freezes' you but apparently you can still hear and see fine.
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Thanks. I always think 'stun' when I think about the Tower scene and I didn't have my books available when I wrote this. ^_^
I can't wait to see the outcome of this little bet.
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Hopefully, it won't be too long. Chapter 11 is with my Britpicker now and I sent Chapter 12 to my beta this morning. ^_^
*giggle* :) haha love this story....LOL Draco singing at leaving feast! thanks for the update!
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
You're welcome. Chapter 11 will be a little late as my Britpicker still has it for beta. ^_^
LOL. This is gonna be good!
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I certainly hope so. ^_^
LOL Love it....Let the games begin
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
On and on and on. *giggle* ^_^
If only they knew what they had started. Would almost be worth Hermione losing to mess with their minds... I did say almost. :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Oh, I would definitely agree. Doesn't mean I'd write it like that, especially as the story is already completed, but I would most *definitely* agree. ^_^
I almost hope Draco wins. :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
What? You don't want to hear him sing? ^_~
Did you have to add that author's note? Now I'm hungry! :PLove Draco and Hermione arguing and the way she still calls him 'ferret'! :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Of course I did! *evil laugh* Why should I be the only one to suffer through chocolate cravings that I can't satisfy because it's not on my diet. Chocolate yogurt is a poor substitute. *pout*Glad you're enjoying my story. I am trying to add humour as well as the developing friendship between former enemies. Just wait until Chapter 9. *hint-hint* ^_^
Mmm, now I wish I had a decent pastry (or bakery) shop nearby, I love pain au chocolat. Again a lovely chapter. I had to giggle a bit at Severus and Minerva's letters. And also at Draco's protectiveness of Severus (it's sweet really.) Still looking forward to seeing where things go from here, especially how all 3 of them are going to take being back at Hogwarts soon. Hmm. :-)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Oh, yes. Should be interesting. I should be placing Chapter 9 in the queue probably sometime today. ^_^
hehe I'm afraid you have just broken my motivation to continue my diet! pain au chocolate, here i come! hehe nice chapter! You're an awesome writer! Please update soon! "Cheers"
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I know all about diets and motivation. There's a Panera Bread Company attached to my local library and the smell is to die for. They have pain au chocolate and orange scones and dark chocolate brownies. Oh, *drool* where's my yogurt and bananas and oranges. *grin* Chapter 9 will be going into the queue probably sometime today. ^_^
what a facinating story. thanks and smoochies
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Chapter 8 is in the queue. ^_^
A surprise twist, Hermione will not be apprenticing after all. Another excellent chapter, the interaction between the various characters, the personalities. it is all very nicely written. I am looking forward to seeing where the story heads from here.
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
*evil laugh* Or is she? There's still six months of Hogwarts education to get through first. Keep reading! ^_^
Joy to the World MsTree is here!!!! awesome like always! please more soon. "Cheers"
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
?????? LoL! I'm glad you're enjoying the story, but I'm a little confused by your syntax. Oh well, it's Saturday. I'm not supposed to think on Saturdays. ^_^ Chapter 6 is in the queue.
awesome chapter!! sorry for not reviewing earlier but I read it in Ashwinder and confused the site. :) AAAweeesooomeee chapter. Yay, there's two up!! :) "Cheers"
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I'm glad you're enjoying my little story. I generally post here before I post it to Ashwinder so you might remember that when you look. Chapter 6 is in queue here. Once it posts here, I'll be posting it to Ashwinder. ^_^
LOL very entertaining but too short :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I guess turn-about is fair play. Lol! Most of the chapters are. Sorry. Severus get back to Hogwarts for the rest of seventh year in Chapter 11. I think you'll enjoy the fireworks. ^_~
Cute story so far. I am, of course, annoyed at the Wizengamot, but it is a fun plot idea. I'm enjoying your Severus quite a bit, he's relaxed, but hasn't lost his snarky personality. And the interactions between Hermione and Draco are fun, they seem like they might become good friends. I'm looking forward to seeing how the school year and the following years turn out.
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Thanks for the review. I'm rather glad Lucius decided to take matters into his own hands when I started this fic. It seems to have turned out better than my original outline of just Severus, Hermione and Draco. ^_^
I love this story...but since I am a true SS/HG addict, I wonder about one of your earlier reply to a reviewer: It was intended to be SS/HG before Lucius got a hold of it...I don't really like Dramione, is the story going to crush my little heart?...Keep going!!!
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
It will be Dramione as far as they will remain friends, but eventually it will be Grape. When I first started my outline, Snape was awake, but paralysed. The scene was Spinner's End and Dramione were working together to get him moving again. Lucius came along, hijacked the scene to Malfoy Manor and took Severus' dialogue, so instead of a simple one or two chapters at the most, I got 38. At least the story got finished. 
Response from hopelesliehermnharry (Reviewer)
Yay 
!!! Can't wait for the interaction to begin....
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
LoL! It'll be a few chapters yet. She and Draco have to get through the rest of 7th year and three years of University, but it'll go quick. I promise. ^_~
Oh, I'm sure there are more loopholes in that pardon that can be exploited! Get a roomful of Slytherins working on that thing, and Severus may find himself in a far better position than the Wizengamot had intended for him to be! It's actually very fortunate that they believe Severus is dead, because they would have otherwise made their wording a little more ironclad...And Minerva won't make him take Hogsmeade duty! Looking forward to seeing how his apprenticeship arrangements with Draco and Hermione can be benefit him--after all, nothing says they can't make potions for the school infirmary or sell them. And surely anything they successfully sold, a percentage of their profit would go to their Master as part of the apprenticeship contract? All kinds of things could happen!Another toast: "To circumventing the Wizengamot!" 
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I like the way you think. 
There are some loopholes that will be exploited later. Chapter 6 is in the queue. 
He seemed to take that well. :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Who, Severus? Wouldn't you if you had the choice of five years of probation or Azkaban? Even if the five years is to be spent teaching dunderheads? *grin* At least he doesn't have to do Hogsmeade weekends. ^_^
Quick work, Harry! :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I don't know about that. *grin* It took him six months of arguing before the Wizengamot would even consider it. ^_^ Thanks for the review.
wow what a place to be left. Looking forward to more.
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
It seemed the logical place to end the chapter. *grin* Five is in queue. Hopefully I won't have as many things to correct in this one. ^_^
Hey, things may be moving more swiftly than Severus expected! Although I'm sure he doesn't appreciate the Minister of Magic just popping in to see him with no time to prepare himself... On the other hand, that was probably the idea--no preparation, just Snape off the cuff and as genuine as you can expect a Slytherin to get.I fully expect that when Sev returns to Hogwarts, Netty the house-elf will follow him and continue to browbeat him into taking care of himself, per Narcissa's orders! 
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them. I'll be putting the next chapter in queue today or tomorrow. ^_^
please post more i think im dying!!! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! "Cheers",

Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
Are you sure you're not channelling Severus? ^_~ Chapter 2 is in the queue. Just waiting for confirmation. Thanks for the review.
I'm in! This is sounding good, and fear not, I'm not all that huge a fan of evil Malfoys myself. I have no objections to them, but I enjoy reformed Malfoys just as much if not more! I look forward to your next chapter (which will hopefully be soon).
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
The story is complete and I hope to post weekly. However, I have two problems with my writing. I can't write truly evil characters and I don't do lemons too well. But fear not, there will be limes ahead. After all, it was originally intended to be a SS/HG story. At least before Lucius got a hold of it. ^_~
Interesting beginning. I'm looking forward to more. 
Response from MsTree (Author of Heaven or Hell)
I'm glad you liked it. The story is complete and I want to try to post weekly. They'll be at Malfoy Manor for a few chapters before returning to Hogwarts. ^_^
