At the beginning of Hermione's seventh year at Hogwarts School, she experiences awful, sudden headaches, and strange fainting spells. She attributes it to lack of sleep, but Severus Snape knows better. He recognizes the symptoms of a special power in Miss Granger, and the possibility of a weapon to use against the Dark Lord. He takes her, despite her heritage and house affiliation, under his personal tutelage, to teach her how to use her startling mental powers. However, when it becomes obvious that he isn't the only one who wants to use her, will he be able to save her from the dark, and most of all, from herself?

A short vignette from a certain frustrated, lovestruck young Gryffindor, angsting over the object of his affections. *SLASH*
