I know I am odd. I know there is something not quite right. Something missing. When I look in the mirror, I don’t see myself. I see only a reflection of the man I ought to be.
I don’t see the face of a killer.
The man appears to be just another standard regeneration. But when medical practitioner Hermione Granger takes a closer look, she finds that not all is as it seems. The resurrection has not gone to plan.
He doesn’t remember a thing.
Now, in a fight against time, Hermione must help him recover his memory before the Ministry proclaim him a lost cause.
There is only one problem. The man is Severus Snape, her former professor. And there are some things she believes that are best left forgotten.

oh goody, i love magic combined with science!well done, even if you did scare us with the evill cliffhanger of dreams in the first chapter. Thanks for this.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Hehe, me too. I love combining the two. It's just so interesting as there are so many possibilities. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
why did she suspect she had thrown out the eggs? doesn't she recall? I would. That being said, because that bothered me at first, I have to say otherwise this is a very suspenseful chapter. very good.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
I can never remember if I have eggs in the fridge. Or cheese, for some reason. I always end up running out. I thought it was normal, but I think it might just be that I am very forgetful. lol. I'm glad that you liked the beginning. I hope that you will enjoy the rest of the story.
Response from pookah (Reviewer)
No, you're normal. what I meant was I would recall throwing it away. I often have no idea if I've eaten the stuff, but throwing it away I would remember. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
What a fabulous, creepy, lovely, dark way to bring Severus back to life. I do so hope they discover some way to extend his life beyond the allotted three years, but one can never tell with these dark tales?
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the resurrection. It was one of my favorite scenes to write. And as for the extended life span, perhaps it won't matter. *tries to look mysterious but fails miserably*
Oh wow! I love how clinical you have made this resurrection.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Thank you. I had a lot of fun writing it.
Very, very interesting! It reminds me of one of those old, perfectly awesome black and white sci fi movies-- an aura of creepiness pervades.The details concerning the science of resurrecting the dead were brilliant and innovative. And it is just SO like a government body to issue an order for a resurrection simply because they need the best Potions master for a job.I am saddened that he only has three years to live, however. Perhaps this might change?
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Thank you. I'm so very glad that you enjoyed it. It was very fun to write, though I had a hard time trying not to make it too creepy. lol. I hope that you will enjoy the rest of the story as much as you did this chapter.

You do such a great job of making this deliciously scary. I kind of have, in the back of my mind, the idea that this is Severus as kind of evil-zombie or something, but that's probably because I read the first chapter before the prologue! LOL Guess it could be any DE in the black clothes, couldn't it. Or just any old guy. I know when I'm alone in the house I get skittish like that. *shudders*
Author's Response: Lol. Me too. It's worse when I've been reading horror and I'm alone. The house creaks because its old, and it always sounds like there is someone downstairs. It's at this point I go and hide in the wardrobe. *giggles*
I'm glad that you like this so far. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of it.

This is such a wonderful premise! I actually completely missed the prologue, so I'll go back and r&r that now, but I'm looking forward to the rest of this. Love all your science-details! :-D
Author's Response: Thank you. Hehe, and you know how I love to write them. They make everything so much fun. *grins*
I hope you'll enjoy the rest of it.
I can't believe Hermione forgot her wand! Although phoning the police would have been smart, being able to protect herself with her wand would have been smarter. I wonder why the room gets colder when the intruder gets near, or is it her imagination? Perhaps it's Severus come back from the dead or near-dead? I definitely hope you update soon.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
The next update is on its way. :)I'm so glad that you enjoyed the beginning. It was very fun to write. And I think its her imagination. I know that the room always seems to feel colder hen I'm scared. Perhaps it's a psycological thing.
Oh, good God! And you leave me there!! Evil, evil cliffie! As usual, I'm entranced by your prose. I don't think I was breathing through most of that. Very much looking forward to more (and to air!)
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
There is more on its way. I promise. *begs for forgivness*I'm so very glad that you enjoyed the beginning. It was very fun to write.
Gah! Straight out of the best horror movies. Very good start.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Thank you. :)
You do know Novum Labratories is real, don't you? This is their profile:Novum Inc is a private company categorized under Testing Laboratories and located in Pittsburgh, PA. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of unknown and employs a staff of approximately 100 to 249.Hee hee hee....
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
I did not know that. HA! Fantastic! =D
Your writing is so enchanting. The way you describe things... Well, I could only hope to ever acheive such ability. I do hope you update soon, as I am positively anxious to know what happens next!
Ooh - really creepy! And I thought that the whole ministry thing was creepy (scary actually). Hermione is really in a bad place...Great chap - although I think I would label it as sort of an interlude. Doesn't matter though - except that it's great. I look forward to an update!
I liked his point of view, it's so other-worldly
The Ministry is an arse, as usual! Hope Snape and Hermione can sort them out.
He thought about killing her in such a detached way. Almost analytical, as he tries to figure out just who he is supposed to be. It worries me about what will happen when he discovers he has been lied to by his angel.
Chillingly beautiful, just like the winter day Severus describes. There are so many possibilities with this story! I am going to be reading every update eagerly to see where you take us.
A bit eerie but coming along very well.
Good chapter - Hermione is really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I hope Snape remembers soon! I look forward to another update.
That was very poetic and beautifully written.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Thank you.
interesting combination of Muggle Science and magic, perhaps the MoM has moved with the times somewhat since Voldemort's demise.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
I've always found the concept of mixing the two interesting. It was fun to do so. :)
very scary start... hope the intruder is there for less than nefarious purposes *wishful thinking*
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
*grins* I think you may be a little disappointed. I'm glad you like the beginning. Thanks for the review. :)
I wondre who it was I hope it wasn't Severus but it would be a good twist if it was.I hope everything will be reaveled in the next chapter.
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Not in the next chapter. But it will be soon. :)
Hmmm, I'm not quite sure what to make of this chapter. It was extremely short and really only implied movement in the plot. Introspection is all fine and good, but it would have been nice to have something more to read here. I really did find myself disappointed that that was all there was to this chapter. Please do continue this, for I am insanely curious about what happens next!
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
Ah, this chapter was written two days to the deadline. It really is only there to move the plot forward. I ran out of time and so I couldn't make it quite as complex as I originally intended.
Response from Delayed Poet (Reviewer)
Ah well that explains it! Well, I do hope you add more, then, as I am terribly curious about what happens to Severus!
Ah, so the last chapter was a nightmare. Just how much of it was her nightmare? Was she really sunburned, or was that just part of the nightmare?This chapter was very Frankenstein-like to me. I'm not entirely convinced that the Ministry would have so many Muggle-influenced things, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I loved that Severus's personality has remained much the same, even through death and amnesia. I'm not so sure that I quite believe Hermione's characterisations, but I'm going to go on to the next chapter anyway...
Response from bound_by_passion (Author of Little White Lies)
It depends just how hard you look at the nightmare. Parts of it are real, and parts of it are not. Hopefully it will make a little more sense towards the end of the story. I don't want to give too much away, though you can probably see where I'm heading with this already. :)
Response from Delayed Poet (Reviewer)
Ah, I think I see... Possibly, lol... Well, let's get updating so I can find out if I'm right!
