Beneath Appearances

When Draco and Hermione discover that Draco's lived his entire life under a nasty collection of spells, it's the first step for the Harry Potter crew as they learn nothing and no one in the wizarding world is quite what they believed. This is the first chapter in what's planned to be a looong fic incorporating a lot o' plot and a lot o' different ship pairings (for now just Hermione/Snape and foreshadowings of Harry/Draco).

The aftermath of the spell. A few revelations and a lot mysteries.

The Christmas season begins, secret liaisons abound, the war with Voldemort makes an unwanted appearance, and of course, there are many hints of things yet to come...

Relationships grow closer, Harry and Draco have something mysterious to wonder about, plots over here, plots over there, and on top of it all, 'tis the season to be jolly...

If you've been waiting for the backstory on Hermione and Snape' relationship, this is it! Hermione tells the tale with ample snarky commentary from Draco along the way...
