What might have happened if Harry chose to chase hallows, not horcruxes?
The boy who lived is dead, and Hermione is left to face her own mortality rate. Now, the only thing standing between her and death is Professor Snape.

I love the Harry Potter series more than anything! And Severus Snape is my hero 
"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death..."

Whoa! Raped ... with the information Sev had from Ron, he's going to think Harry did it; a mute point.
I'm wondering should the time come, would Ron be killed as a traitor or left to face his family. I think facing his family and Azkaban would be a fitting sentence for what he's done. No pity here.
Enjoying the story 
!
That is quite a cliffhanger - I look forward to seeing where you take this - are we going to be seeing the rest of the order anytime soon (not dead bodies before Tom either!)?
Just like Severus to believe what he saw was real despite what she said. Her actions spoke for themselves, though, I believe. And now I'm curious to see how Snape's going to react now that he knows she was raped. Will he jump to conclusions and assume Potter did it - and Ron misconstrued it as consentual? And why do I have the feeling he's actually going to want to kill Potter for forcibly taking what "should be his"?
Rape? Oh No! Can`t wait to see what you have in store for us. Thank you!
woah.. did harry rape hermione? =S
hmm, i think i'm missing something
Many interesting questions here - what did Ron actually see, who raped Hermione, and are these things in any way related?
oh please continue! Very good.

I'm so glad you are enjoying it! 
omg! I'm glad Severus is still fighting the good fight. Poor Severus. Will he never find any peace?
Response from BellatrixLives (Author of The End is only the Beginning)
He does always seem to be pushed into horrible circumstances, poor man...
Great story! Can't wait to read more!

Thank you! Next chapter should be up by the end of the weekend!
Hmmm. The premise for this story is terrific, there's lots of potential here. But several things really bugged me:1. Brits don't say 'good guys and bad guys', they say 'goodies and baddies'. You should try and get a Brit-pick beta to make the dialogue less Americanized.2. "A poor bachelor's room"??? Why would a Hogwarts professor be expected to bring his or her own furniture? The student dorms in the canon are well appointed - the staff quarters would be even more so.3. Hermione would NEVER be stupid enough to actually WRITE such things, in Snape's quarters, as a prisoner. Especially after one day of being there - she'd play it safe at first. It's so OOC it's maddening.Like I said before, there's so much potential here. I'm really curious where you're taking the story.

Thanks for the review, and I hope you'll continue to read! I understand what you mean on these things, but I do have a bit of an explanation.1) Actually no explanation here, I agree it's very Americanized2) Well spotted! This does come up later in the story 3) I can understand your annoyance here, as Cannon Hermione probably would have been more careful. As true as I try to keep her though it must be taken into account that losing her best friends and watching her whole world crumble would definitely change her. When I wrote about her making the mistake to actually write those things out I was trying to emphasize just how desperate she was to believe that everything was normal. Normal for her is that she can always trust her knowledge, and her knowledge told her that a Scriber Charm would protect her musings.

Ahhh, I think I understand your point about Hermione. Thanks for answering, and I will definitely be reading the rest of this story! I'm super curious about Snape's quarers now though, lol
mmm lovely update! lovely build.

Thank you! Glad you are liking it 
Excellent second chapter, except for one thing...it was too short! Now I'm left wondering what the Summons is for, and what exactly Severus did with his wand right before leaving. I'm also interested to see if we'll get any insight into what's going on with Ron--does he feel any guilt at all for throwing his lot in with Voldemort to save his own life? Did he think if he could just keep himself alive maybe he could one day accomplish something for the Order?Please update soon, I'm very excited to find out what happens next! 
Response from BellatrixLives (Author of The End is only the Beginning)
You're in luck! The next chapter is in the queue and it's about 50% longer than chapter 2 :) Thank you so much for the reviews, it makes me smile to see the questions you're wondering about!
I just found this story with the update for the second chapter--very interesting! I've always enjoyed the "what if Voldemort won?" scenarios, and this looks like a good one. I'll be interested to see how long it will take for Hermione to be included in the planning sessions between Dumbledore's portrait and Severus--while Dumbledore likes to hold his cards close to his chest, Severus is going to need someone to rely on who can back him up.Need to run to the next chapter!

Thank you, I appreciate the review. Next chapter isn't far off
Interesting perspective! I look forward to more.
Response from BellatrixLives (Author of The End is only the Beginning)
Thanks for reviewing, more to come soon!
Things are so complicated for Severus. In looking forward to reading more. This is a great plot!
Fantastic beginning! I really love the premise.
So, I just found this story and read it through. I hope indeed that you will have regular updates 'cause it's a very good story!I am wondering who raped Hermione. She was vehement that she and Harry never had sex--did Ron force her? Or maybe one of the snatchers when she was captured? Perhaps good old Victor indulged in date rape way back when she was a fourth year. Hmm...

Congrats on your baby boy!!!Why doesnt HErmione notice that he calls her a "muggle born"? Surely a true DE wouldnt use that term??
Response from BellatrixLives (Author of The End is only the Beginning)
Thank you :) and thank you for your wonderful reviews! I suppose that Hermione is so busy making wild jumps that she doesn't open her eyes to the obvious things right in front of her. *sigh*
