Severus sacrificed a great many things ensuring that the Dark Lord fell, most notably his young wife, Hermione. It was to his great surprise that he should find her in a bookshop one day, years later, with no memories whatsoever of him... or their daughter. In search of her past, and perhaps her humanity, can the disaffected Gretchen trust this dark, mysterious man?

Wow....so cool that she remembered so much about Harry, Ron and their time with Buckbeak!

I think that was a big night for Hermione! Not many girls can say they've ridden a hippogryph with Harry Potter, you know!

What!?!? I've run out of chapters. Come on, write like the wind! I loved how quickly she recognized Buckbeak, and how easy it was to feel comfortable with her boys. We are getting closer and closer. Now, about more chapters ...

Who knew Draco Malfoy could be so useful? It is good to see they are making progress, even if it is baby steps.

Oh, he makes an excellent arse! He'll be good if she needs target practice, too...

I really like Rori, and she is the perfect mix of Severus and Hermione. It bodes well for your story that I can hardly be bothered to stop reading long enough to review.

Aurora Snape is definitely her parents' daughter. Hogwarts is already bracing itself...

Thank goodness for his patience, because he is going to need it. I do hope for a breakthrough soon.

Severus Snape has the patience of a saint! All those years saving students when they rushed into danger...

I have a feeling we are going to continue this two steps forward, one step back thing. But, they are all still hanging in there. I love what a good father Severus is, while still maintaining a believable character.

The road ahead will definitely not be easy, but we will discover a few things along the way, hopefully!

I love Rori's rambling yet matter of fact version of Voldemort and the happenings of the war. It is exactly how my nine-year-old would have presented it.
How difficult to see your wife who you've waited a long time to have back in you life and know that to her you are a stranger.
I do hope they can get her back. All things considered, Gretchen is being a good sport.

They all have a lot on the line! Although, Rori has definitely got an advantage of growing up post-Voldy...

I'm loving this story! I would give some specifics, but I'd rather go to the next chapter.

I can't even imagine being in either position. Severus is so calm, and she is so trusting, but I suppose it isn't as if either has a choice. I'm loving this!

It can be interesting watching people move to get what they want, especially when there are so few options!

I love the differences between how Severus and Harry both handle seeing Hermione in the bookshop. How frustrating for everyone involved!

Oh yeah, Harry definitely does not have a poker face. Poor guy...

I swore I was not going to add another WIP to my ever growing list, but here I am. This is an interesting premise. The fact that they all have secrets from one another seems very realistic. And just what happened to Hermione?
Response from sapphire_phoenix (Author of Vitae Explicare Memento)
I know how it is with WIPs! I've been in the other chair too. So sorry to leave this one so long, but there is definitely more to come!

Thanks so much! Luckily, Hermione has a few standout experiences to jog her memory

Oh no! She can't go on like this forever. Eventually, curiosity or despair (if she has a sense of either) will make her seek him out. At least we know the memories are still there.

Interesting that Hermione/Gretchen was able to recognize Draco isn't it?
Response from sapphire_phoenix (Author of Vitae Explicare Memento)
Oh, yes! That little ferret... he just gets on her nerves! :-D

I love this story. And I'm glad Grtchen is attracted to Severus. Maybe some intimacy could free her memories...
Response from sapphire_phoenix (Author of Vitae Explicare Memento)
Thanks! I think Gretchen has good taste as well. Now... if we could just get Sev to play along.... ;-D
