The Thin Ice

After graduating from Hogwarts, Hermione begins her apprenticeship under Arithmancy Professor, Septima Vector, but things aren't turning out the way she planned. Hogwarts will remain her home, for a while longer, but it will force her to confront some things. She's keeping a secret, even from herself, and Severus Snape could easily say the same. Slightly AU, SS/HG pairing, Mature.
