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.

Oh what a teaser, I was hoping for the detention, still it was a great chapter.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
I decided this chapter needed to be a little bit slow since the next few chapters are going to be very fast-paced. Glad you enjoyed it, though!
Severus seems like he is quite the conniving swine in this chapter. He will be playing on the affections of two less experienced people; one he knows professes to love him. I am damn curious to know if Severus has a side other than his own. As for sexuality, he certainly seems to be bi.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Yes, Severus is certainly bi. As for whether he has a side other than his own, well... I don't want to spoil things for later, but you just may be right. ;)
opps!!
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Oops indeed! I wasn't even planning on her blurting it out like that, but as I was writing it became clear that that's what needed to happen!
Uh-oh.How is Hermione going to escape this one?I continue to enjoy this story!
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Maybe a public spanking? Just kidding. (I think. I haven't written the next chapter yet, but I don't think a public spanking's in store. :P)I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I'm enjoying writing it, but a huge part of my enjoyment is knowing people are enjoying reading it!
Bad thing about Hermione yelling,but the boys will drive anyone to it.I hope Severus can talk his way out of this one.I wish in the books thay would of had Severus and Hermione haveing atleast one conversation,if thay could have sit down and talked I think thay would have found thay have alot in common.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Yeah I really feel that Hermione and Snape are very similar intellectually; they just have different backgrounds and have made different choices.After having such intelligent conversations with Severus, I can't imagine Hermione *not* losing her temper at Harry and Ron!
Not a wise move. Now Severus will have to rectify the balance...
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
*grins* Perhaps a public spanking will do the trick?Just kidding. I'm sure Severus will think of something... (though, for the record, the chapter coming up will be Draco's, not Severus's)
Ops. She is right, the boys are so dense it is maddening. However, such a faux pas in the snake infested swamp that is now Hogwarts can't help but have repercussions. Hope she realizes that when the Headmaster has to get all snarky in order to save lives.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
That's something that always annoyed me about the books: what, exactly, do Hermione, Ron, and Harry have in common, other than Harry's Fight for Good (tm)? I mean, after Harry beats Voldie, what would Hermione and Ron talk about?Thanks for this comment. Believe it or not, Hermione "outing" Severus like that wasn't planned. But when I got to that moment, what I had planned just didn't make sense and that's what happened. This, of course, threw my next chapter in jeopardy, as what I had planned for that one originally doesn't make sense with this new chapter. Your comment has given me an idea. :) So thank you!
Whoops! Evil cliffie time! Is Hermione accidentally outing Severus?
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
I hadn't thought of it like that, but she certainly seems to be.
Oh boy, the stuff will hit the fan for sure now........
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Yeah, she made a bit of a mistake. :P
whoops Hermione, some people just don't need to hear that.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Whoops indeed! I wasn't even planning on her blurting it out like that, but as I was writing it became clear that that's what needed to happen!
More complicated indeed, wouldn't want to betray another woman's trust and lose her too would he?
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Exactly!
Oops, I missed this chapter. So, the attraction is there, isn't it?
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
I'd like to be coy and say maybe Severus is exaggerating things for Voldemort's benefit, but yes: the attraction is there.
intresting that hermione would remind him of lilly but i guees two brigth young women would be similar in some ways
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
*nods* Especially since they're both good at and interested in Potions.
We need a threesome between Severus,Draco and Hermione!I love all three of them and I think thay should be togeather!
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Maybe eventually... *winks*
The plot thickens! I like the direction this is going!(One tiny nitpick--he would use Legilimency to enter her mind, not Occlumency. Occlumency is defensive, to keep someone out!)Great chapter! Update soon!
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Ooh, thanks! I'll fix that right away. I'm glad you're enjoying my fic. :)
Good chapter, I liked the little side of information on Draco, it helped keep him in our minds.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Thank you!
I hope youn update soon,this story sounds interesting.I'd like to see where it goes and what Severus is up too!Update soon!
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
You've convinced me. I'm uploading Chapter 1 now. :P
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
You've convinced me. I'm uploading Chapter 1 now. :P
not bad, one question why didn't Severus use a paste/potion for brusies himself?
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
All the bruises are on his backside, beyond where he can easily reach.
I'll keep an eye on this to see where this leads.
Response from Cosette (Author of Culmination)
Thanks! I have Chapter 1 written already, but am waiting for my betas to catch up. :)
Mmmmm. To be the filling in a Snape'n'Draco sammy. Lucky Hermione...
Love it!
