What if all is not what is seems? Love lost, but pieces eventually found. A girl loses her sense of self only to find the truth was always much better. A/U, Dumbledore manipulation and bashing, Ginny/Ron bashing. Strong MATURE content. HGxDM eventually. SSxOC (character of my own creation, via flashback)

MATURE CONTENT! This is a mature story of how the passions of a young witch manifest with the tall dark and handsome wizard of her dreams. Literally. There might be a little Ron bashing, because I just don't like him and that's that. Hermione/Severus, if you don't like it don't read it. Post-Hogwarts and EWE.
