my response to very old WIKTT challenge. Hermione is orphaned and returns to school on scholarship. based on books by J Webster and JK Rowling. New chapters added. Modifed to be HBP compliant. Reviews most welcome. Flames used to toast marshmallows.

In the shrieking shack Severus Snape, in a last ditch effort to live, puts a stopper in death. EWE Not Epilogue compliant. I'm fairly new to writing, so constructive criticism is welcome, but flames are not. Thanks for reading, and reviewing.
