Just Let it Happen

Seventh year for Hermione, and her studies take a turn for the unexpected. Severus Snape becomes the dominant authority to which Hermione's academic mind swears fealty, and the obstacles he means to throw in her path will be many and difficult. Hermione's struggles, however, will soon transcend the walls of Hogwarts as her dark, taciturn Professor is grudgingly forced into accepting the role of protector. Protector being a relative term. Hermione does her fair share of saving an ungrateful life as well.
