    Summary

    When Hermione Granger began publishing potions research under the pseudonym Harmony Grey at thirteen, she never expected to captivate the mind of Severus Snape, one of the most enigmatic figures in the field. What begins as an anonymous exchange of ideas grows into something far more profound—a connection built on intellect, ambition, and an understanding neither of them can quite name. But ambition is a double-edged sword, and the closer Hermione comes to realizing her full potential, the more fragile her carefully constructed world becomes. Secrets are powerful things, and when they begin to unravel, so do the lines between past and present, between mentor and protégé, between what is forbidden and what is inevitable.

    Summary

    This is the companion piece to my main work, Ink & Alchemy, which is written entirely from Hermione’s perspective. This work will not make sense without reading the original. It is not a retelling of the entire story—instead, it is a selection of scenes from the main story written from Snape’s perspective, as well as a few additional scenes that Hermione is not present in. It is intended to enrich the reader and give them insights into things happening behind the scenes as well as giving the reader a glimpse into the mind of a man who was never corrupted by Voldemort and his influences.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger constructed a predictable life for herself following the war. However, she realizes that within the constraints of control there is no room for want. In an uncharacteristic move, she flees her life in London to visit Neville, who works as a gardener at the Zabini Estate in Italy. The Estate, now a wellness retreat for elderly witches and wizards, is also the refuge of three of her Slytherin classmates that she has not seen since the war. This is a story of overcoming assumptions, judgmental garden gnomes, flowers, and the quest for contentment.
