Hermione bears the self inflicted wounds from her own private hell seven years after the downfall of the Dark Lord. Having lost her magical powers, she applies to a job as assistant potion maker at Hogwarts which now has none other than Severus Snape as headmaster. Snape is more irascible than ever and makes life difficult for Hermione. A sordid little tale of power, manipulation, sex, dominance and submission, and (dare I say) love between two physically and emotionally scarred survivors who need it most desparately. A bit of a crossover fic based on both Harry Potter and the 2002 movie "Secretary" starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader.

Severus Snape contemplates the events of the HBP and relives the memories of several key events not yet in canon such as the meeting with Voldemort after GOF, the nature of the mysterious relationship between Snape and the Malfoys, and the events on the tower with Dumbledore in this author's attempt to explore a duty bound Snape.
