One: A Double Funeral

After Hermione loses her boyfriend Ron Weasley during the Battle Of Hogwarts, alongside his older brother Fred, Hermione is devastated by the loss. All she wants to do is crawl into a deep, dark hole and die. Five years after the war ends, a chance encounter in a bar brings her into contact with the only wizard she has ever truly loved Severus Snape. But he is facing his own personal demons, and he doesn't expect to suddenly foster feelings for the insufferable know it all Gryffindor witch he used to teach potions to all those years ago. Can they both get past their demons, and learn to love? Or will they forever remain aloof from one another?
