COMPLETE! Hermione knows his secrets, his destiny unfulfilled. Snape sees only desolate dark. But in the tale of love and longing, Lily remembers everything.
All is not as it seems. The world of wizards is full of lies and half-truths.
Over twenty years ago, Severus Snape fell in love with Lily Evans, and he never stopped loving her. His every move, his every thought, is purely for her. And he has only one place, a room, hidden deep under the lake, where he can relax, not worry about whom he is spying on, what he should be saying and doing, where his loyalties lie. Somewhere he can reminisce about his childhood days there with Lily, to allow himself space to grieve.
That though, as with everything else, is about to change.

Hmmm..a bio huh? Oh, blimey, let's just sum this up: I'm a crazy mid-twenties review whore with a totally unhealthy obsession with Snape.
Reviews for Destiny's Secret
Not a good look getting caught by your girlfriend's Dad in her room with your pants down! His Mum and her Dad should get together sometime for coffee 
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Oh dear! Could you imagine Mr Evans and Mrs Snape in the same room for coffee? That is funny! Thanks :D
Their relationship has been developed beautifully so far, keep it up!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you!
Nice chapter again , sweet portrayal of the kids as kids still
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
I enjoyed writing them as kids, there was something lovely and innocent about it! Thank you!
Poor Petunia, left out, and evil Rose hexing her!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
I felt sort of sorry for Petunia while I was writing her, but then again, she didn't make life easy on herself. Thanks :D
interesting to have an evil twin for Lily, wonder what happens to her?
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Rose - she is an interesting character! Thanks :D
monteiths eh? thats brewed only a few hundred km from where I live. Great start nice portrayal of Severus and Lily as kids
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Then you'll appreciate how excellently Summer Ale goes with fanfic tee hee! Glad you like the beginning :D

Don't drink so just a nice cuppa, have you tried a nice Marlborough Savvy?
Wow. I spent most of this chapter with my mouth hanging on my knees. Shuch incredible twist. I really did not see that comming, though with all your foreshadowing.... Really brilliant chapter!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! I'm so pleased it came as a surprise - with every little clue I put in I sat there crossing my fingers it wouldn't give it away.
well, i admit i did not see this coming. i had been kind of wondering where the heck you were going with all of this, and now i see, i can only echo one of your other reviewers - holy crap! your ability to even imagine such twists and turns frankly amazes me. in a million years, it just never would have occurred to me to solve the problem of severus's broken heart by raising lily from the dead - but i like it. and then turning her into hermione, to boot. my hat's off to you. one thing i don't understand, though - how does lily have rose's memory of what happened in that hallway with severus, or was that not really rose after all? just wondering.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Back when that scene happened in the hallway (I can't remember which chapter now, around four I think!) Lily was watching them. Thank you so much for your kind words, they've put a big grin on my face :D The plot for this was several months in the making and the Post DH Prompt came up that I could fit it into and it dragged it all out onto the computer. I was really nervous about how it would all go down, but it seems to have worked quite well! Thanks again :D
Response from kittylefish (Reviewer)
oh, i forgot that lily was watching them. thanks for reminding me.
OH, Wow. So, Hermione is really Lily? That was incredible. And I think that he would really be angry, and I don't blame him.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Phew! Thank you :) Severus certainly feels betrayed, and rightly so.
Well, that certainly explains a lot! The truth is out now! How will Severus react after he's thought it through? I can't wait for more!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Ah..Severus, he's got a LOT to think about! Next chapter up soon hopefully (I've got just over a week to get this finished now!) Thanks for the review
Now that is a note worthy twist! I hope you will update soon!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
*grin* That chapter is what all the others have been building up to. I was really quite terrified about what the reaction would be, but everyone (including yourself!) seems to have enjoyed it, so I'm grinning from ear to ear today :D Update hopefully in the next few days. Thanks!
Oh crap what an evil cliffie....Good thing for me the next chapter is posted!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Tee hee! Just as well the next chapter was up! Thanks for sticking with me and all the lovely reviews, they really are greatly appreciated :D
Even though I new what was comming, it was a sad chapter. I am wondering what role Lilly will be playing?
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Wow! I'm glad you still found it sad even though it was inevitable - that's quite a compliment. Thanks :D
Wow, Severus doesn't know it yet, but he has his hands full. I wonder which woman will get him in the end?
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Hands full indeed! Thank you :D
What a twist! I did not expect this at all!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Hee hee hee...this fic is full of twists and turns! THanks :D
Hmm, I'm surprised Severus didn't blow his top for real. Hermione certainly has a knack for getting into stuff she shouldn't.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
He was quite soft on her! She should count herself very lucky, I think. Thank you :D
Wow, that chapter gave me the chills!
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Excellent ;) Thanks!
Ok, I'm confused Severus's mom didn't want him hanging out with a muggle born witch, yet she married a muggle. Now Rose is a Death Eater, who slept with James Potter. Is this a deliberate manipulation within the story?
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
A lot of double-standards going on there! Then again, Voldemort is half-blood and he doesn't like mud-bloods very much ;)
Good chapter, Lilly's reaction to the Dark Mark was very believable.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thanks!
It is very interesting to use canon works to weave into the story.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thanks! I had a great time playing with JKR's stuff :)
Wow, Severus's mom is certainly interesting.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Interesting is one word for it! I'm glad she wasn't my mum!
I liked the fumbling Severus did, it made him seem to be more real.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Thank you! I'm glad it was believable.
hmmm the infamous blue-bottle flame. Isn't that what Hermione used to set his robes on fire?.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Blue-bottle flames...Hermione used it? Well isn't that interesting ;)
Good chapter, Mrs. Snape seems interesting.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Mrs Snape is a little twisted - explains a bit about Severus though! Thanks :D
I liked the conversation between Lily and Dumbledore, and I love the creativity of Lily having a twin.
Response from Fervesco (Author of Destiny's Secret)
Lily's twin had me a bit worried, but she was necessary for the plot- in the end I quite liked her though! Thank you :D
