Hermione, Severus, and Draco's lives become intertwined in ways none of them could have predicted or imagined. This is a story that weaves three perspectives together: Hermione's, Snape's, and Draco's. Please note that this story will end up being MA and contain slash.
After Dumbledore is killed by Snape, Voldemort goes on to take over the Ministry of Magic and installs Snape as Headmaster at Hogwarts. Believing the remaining horcruxes to be hidden at Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione, and Ron return to Hogwarts. Needing a way to spy on Snape, Hermione comes up with an idea that has unintended consequences.
Draco believed that he and Severus had something special. But before returning to Hogwarts, Severus mysteriously ends their relationship. Dejected, Draco returns to Hogwarts determined to win Severus back.
Severus Snape is working on a secret project, one that will give him a power no other human has ever had before. But the project has withered to a standstill as he is overwhelmed with his new duties as Headmaster and Voldemort's favorite Death Eater.

I'm a married bisexual disabled person who loves Harry Potter fanfiction. My favorite pairing is probably Hermione/Severus, though I also enjoy Harry/Severus and Harry/Draco. On rare occasions, I even enjoy Hermione/Draco.
I normally try to write one chapter a week for active fanfictions, and one or two chapters a month for original stories.

Bloody elf! You'd think with all their magical abilities that they could pick the moment better!

Yeah, his timing was a bit... inconvenient. ;)

I'm guessing the three of them will have a relationship later, and I am wondering how threesomes manage not to get jealous of each other. I know, not really part of the story but I still wonder about that.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Well, theoretically, if you love both people the same and they both love you, it'd be easiest for them both to love each other... otherwise, you'd have to be constantly choosing one or the other.And you're on the right track. :) Thanks for the review!

Did I read that right? Narcissa supported the DM/SS relationship? Whodda thunk it? Well good for her. No wonder she was so upset at the thought of Severus killing Draco. Poor Luicus will anyone morn your passing?
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Yup, she supported it. As for if anyone will mourn Lucius's passing, well, I bet Voldie will be pretty pissed off. Otherwise... no, not really. ;)Thanks for the review!

Obviously Snape was not aware of Draco pushing against the curse that held him there? Isnt it ironic that the moment that he gets his freedom back, Treedy would have sprung him anyway to help Snape. Ha.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Draco and Hermione were only pushing while Severus was out, so he didn't know. I don't think Treedy could have broken the curse, but it was meant to be ironic that Draco was given the choice right after gaining his freedom.Thanks for the review!

Oh my! Did Hermione know Snape and Draco were lovers previously? Well she sure knows enough to figure it out now. I am looking forward to what happens next.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
No, she didn't know for sure. She definitely does now, though!Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review!

Snape received an Elf as a gift? I want a Treedy too!!!I laughed and laughed at Mr. Grangers idea that Snape come and check up with them. That is exactly what Severus needs more people to take care of. Ha.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Yes, actually Dumbledore gave Treedy to Snape. :)I giggled when I was writing that scene, too. Poor Severus!Thanks for the review!

And now the truth about Severus's relationship with Draco is out in the open; the passion in his voice to save Draco's life is explained. Severus being Draco's Professor has nothing to do with this passion to keep Draco from harm. Severus clearly wants the affection of both Draco and Hermione. I have been trying to figure out if this is Selfish!Severus or Opportunistic!Severus.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Maybe neither? ;)Thanks for the review!

Nice flow and I loved how Severus made it seem like a joy to take care of her parents like that.

What?WHAT!?!
About the only thing I understand here is:A. They're in the shrieking shack. B. They're all angry with each other. C. The only way they can survive is to work together. I do so love being flummoxed 
Thanks for updating, I knew it would be worth it.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Thanks for the review! You're very welcome. :D And sorry you're so flummoxed. :P

I can't figure this one out. And Hermione should be having second thoughts. Severus is being so patient with Draco, the person who betrayed him and is treating Hermione like a House Elf. Maybe it is time for Plan B Hermione.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
What can't you figure out? (I'm asking so I know what to answer, or hint at, etc., in the next chapter.)Part of Severus's patience with Draco comes from Severus's reluctance to force Draco to stay with them, and, also, out of guilt or compassion for the fact that Draco was recently tortured. Hermione, as far as he's concerned, has made her decision, so it's not his fault she's stuck there. Hope this helps a little... I wouldn't have said so much, but there's another chapter before we get back to Severus's POV.Thanks for the review. :)

OK. You lost me. I'm completely confused. Blood? Scream? What has he done? I'll just scratch my head until the next chapter arrives.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Let me leave you with this thought: Severus did with Draco's blood exactly what he told Draco he'd do if he didn't agree to stay. :)

ou ou ou What did he do with Draco's blood? Damn what a cliff hanger!

Interesting chapter, although I have no clue on how collecting Draco's blood 'saved them all'. I'll leave that for a brilliant to tell us about. :)
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
I was actually planning on having an additional conversation between Severus and Hermione in this chapter that would have clarified some things, but it was getting too long, so I had to stop it.I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. The next chapter, which I'll try to get started on today, should answer your question. :)

Oh, dear, that was difficult. And yes, if I were Hermione I would totally be having second thoughts.

Of course Hermione is perceptive enough to see Draco had been tortured. I suppose Snape felt obligated to take Draco with them, but it is looking like he wants to have his cake and eat it too.

Don't be so hard on Severus. :) Thanks for the review!
