Hermione Granger, 24, had imagined a million ways her life would turn out but this was not one of them. When she least expects it she finds a photograph that might change things for the better, but instead it doesn’t work out exactly as she plans. Time travel is a tricky thing after all. Sometimes what is meant to happen will always happen, whether we like it or not.
Sometimes even the dead can’t let things go. Or when Marlene tries to drag Severus out of his darkness.
Severus Snape has been a constant presence in Petunia’s life for as long as she could remember. Sometimes enemy, sometimes friend, and sometimes more. She promises herself to stay away but sometimes there are some that you just can’t keep.
Daphne Greengrass would rather do anything but go home, even if it’s Christmas.
Eileen Prince would do anything to protect her son even if it meant selling his very soul.
Remus Lupin finds someone from his past in the Hog’s Head Inn and the other man is just as broken by time as he feels.
Sometimes you need to say it more than other person needs to hear it. Or when Harry Potter takes a walk in the woods and finds a ghost, but is he really? Sometimes you just never know.
Severus knew death was coming for him, but someone from his past brings him comfort
Eileen Prince loved her son more than anything which is exactly why she wished she would have never met his father.
Severus Snape loved Hermione more than words could say, but there is one thing he can’t give her and that seems like what she wants. ) trans man Severus)
Hermione has spent her whole life holding things together. Her friendships, the war effort, school, work, and even her own body. Pain is not a normal state of existence; even if it's all you have ever known. Betaed by MrsRen, many thanks to her
