October 1981—Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall share a toast, and the memories, of everything that Gellert Grindelwald and Tom Riddle took from them. "Time and whiskey won't heal your heart, Minerva," Dumbledore warned before assigning her to see to welfare of the newest member of the Hogwarts staff, Severus Snape.

An accident the summer before 6th year puts Dumbledore's plans for Harry in motion sooner than planned. Will an unexpected truce with Snape better prepare Harry for what is to come? A Snape mentors Harry fic with all the regular players. AU after OOTP.

An accident an Hogwarts causes Severus Snape to make a startling discovery about his colleague Minerva McGonagall. A discovery that leads to intrigue, intrigue that leads to a relationship, and a relationship that leads to serious complications both before and after the events of The Half Blood Prince.

Things are very difficult for Minerva and Severus, who are trying to start a relationship while the professors are prisoners of the Death Eaters during 1997-98 (book 7). There's love, torture, friendship, rape, pregnancy, love again... Summary sucks, just come in and read, and review :-)

After Albus's death, Minerva struggles to understand why she was left in the dark. His trusted adviser murdered him in cold blood and is now running hogwarts as headmaster. Her anger is bursting at the seams, but all Severus wants to do is make it right. Alastar takes the year off from his duties as Auror. Meanwhile, Poppy as Minerva's best friend is terribly worried about her.

With the Slytherins gone and Voldemort rising to power once more, the Hogwarts staff is left to deal with the remaining students and the everyday strain of running a school. But the war goes poorly, and what should be a time for unity may find their friendships tested more than they ever thought possible.

Severus Snape was never one to lose a bet, but then, neither was Minerva McGongall..."Are you willing to increase the wager?" she repeated, and he was startled to see that her emerald eyes gleamed with a cunning, predatory anticipation. "That depends," he answered slowly, not above dragging it out a bit. "What are you offering?" Written for the 2017 LJ Snapecase; very much rated M

Harry didn't appear at Hogwarts causing concern. Albus immediately head's out to Privet Drive to find out what was going on, along with Minerva and a reluctant Severus Snape. What they find out changes everything for everyone in the wizarding world. Is there a chance for anyone to go back and fix past mistakes? is there any hope at all for the magical world? COMPLETE
