Of Love, in Unexpected Places by ObsessiveaboutSnape

Summary: Summer after fourth year is finally over, and things are not as expected when Harry makes it back to the magical world. Badly broken and determined for it to stop, Harry turns to, surprisingly, a certain Potions Master, who in turn finds within himself, of all places, a heart still beating and waiting to love, and be loved in turn.

Ummmm.........This chapter is a bit more serious..... What happens here in the secnd chapter doesn't usually take place till much later in most of the fics I've read, and I hope it doesn't come across like I'm moving too fast. And, too, I hope I don't make Severus sound too OOC. There's alot of things I want to get done in this fic, not to mention my others, so drawing out all the angst is not something I'm going to do. :P Read and enjoy, and let me know what you think. Each of your reviews are very important to me.

3. Chapter 3 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 20] (3739 words)

Well, this is a bit long, and from here on out, things get a tad complicated. I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, really. I hope you all forgive me for Professor McGonagall...... she gets better, I promise.

4. Chapter 4 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 28] (4634 words)

Well.....This is chapter four.....Sorry it took so long. Hope you all don't hate it as much as I did. I just could NOT get Dumbledore right......, so he'll *sigh* be a bit OOC per this fic.

Happy reading!

5. Chapter 5 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 13] (3664 words)

Hello! I'm so sorry for the long wait!! I've been trying to work out a beta, but I hope you all still want to read!!! Please let me know what you think!!!

6. Chapter 6 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 14] (4281 words)

Well, it took me long enough, don't you all think so? Hope you enjoy, though I don't particularly think this was some of my best work I don't particularly like the ending either....

7. Chapter 7 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 14] (4288 words)

Well, here's another chapter for ya. Hope you guys enjoy this one too, and please, please review. They so make my day. It''s a bit frustrating to see so many reads and so little reviews.

Straight ahead: Ron's got a new attitude and Hermione bites the dust ......kinda.

8. Chapter 8 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 21] (3605 words)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I do so hope you all enjoyed the festivities.

WOOOOT!!!! My first post for 2009. *sniff* I feel so accomplished!!! Asd, too, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I wrot this while I was standing in line for customs earlier this week. I apologize for the extreme OOCness in this chapter. I think I kept Sever as close to my version of him as I could manage, but I trust you'll tell me if I didn't. Also, I should probably mention, if any onf you haven't realized it yet, that Draco will be OOC in this fic. in my other one, I have no idea, but for this one, get ready to experience a whole new Draco.

And also, could someone tell me if Harry seems his age r not? Thanks.

Without further ado, I give you chapter eight, in which hysteria abounds......

9. Chapter 9 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 14] (3901 words)

Ok. *sigh* I know this took waaaaaay too long to get up, but I've had a few things I neede to get done, MAINLY midterms *gah* and settling into college life. But, midterms are over and in the time I have till exams (something like six weeks) I'll try to get my muses flowing again. And my self-confidence has totally taken a blow since I recently posted two more chapters of my original work and no one's commented..... *sigh* anyway, this author's note is long, but I thought I should point out that this chapter hasn't been edited as I only just finished it tonight, and feel free to yell and scream at me over the probable hundreds of errors you may (or may not, hopefully) find.

10. Chapter 10 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 16] (3221 words)

Yes, I know. I’m so very sorry for taking forever and six Sundays to get this up. Laziness, procrastination and end of semester projects are all to blame, not me. I will have another chapter up over the weekend or before if I’m really good. But please read and review. I LOVE your reviews.
On a side note, I’ve been a member of this really cool Harry Potter Roleplay site that I think anyone who likes the Harry Potter universe should check out. It’s new generation, and we have lots of canon character still available, and all originals are welcome. If you’re interested, just ask me for the link when you REVIEW!!! I hope that's ok.....
That’s it, I’ll shut up now. ENJOY!! Please REVIEW!!!

11. Chapter 11 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 15] (2055 words)

Well....I don't really know how this chapter even came to be, but its here. Hope you all enjoy. And please review, even if its startlingly boring.......
Its kinda shrot, but please forgive me for that, and any mistakes you may find.....

12. Chapter 12 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 7] (3138 words)

Ok. I know this took forever and three sundays, but I finally got it up. I actually had to re-write the entire first bit of this chapter, because the way it was going had be stuck as to finishing it. Nothing I tried was working. And then, I went ahead and decided to use what I wrote first anyway. Consequently, and because I wanted to post at least two days around my birthday (July 4th, yay me!!) this chapter over on fanfiction.net is a tad short. But please enjoy it here, and I'll replace it later.....I guess....

13. Chapter 13 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 16] (2640 words)

Has anyone else but me realize we’re not getting any closer to classes? Read and Enjoy!!

14. Chapter 14 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 14] (4318 words)

YAY! Another chapter. Please read and review. Classes in next chapter, I promise!!!

15. Chapter 15 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 12] (3022 words)

Well this is short, and mostly has to do with Sev......Please don't be too harsh with the comments.....I'm not sure myself how I feel about this chapter.....

16. Chapter 16 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 10] (1081 words)

Ok so this is probably the shortet, most uneventful chapter ever. But I really needed to put something up. I started to feel like I really didn't know what I was writing this for. Hopefully some of your reviews will gwt me back on track. I know what I have planned....like Mrs. Weasley's redemption.....but getting it done had really begun to be a bother.
Anyway. Hope this chapter at least helps take the edge off. Please leave a review. Thanks!

17. Chapter 17 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 7] (1617 words)

Alrighty then. So, it took me forever and, like, seven Sundays, but I finally got my groove back!! WWHHOOOOO!! Aren't you all excited? Now, I know this chapter is really short, but I hope you all enjoy this, and leave me lots of reviews. I'd love to know what you guys think of this, and of Draco and Sirius' budding relationship.

18. Chapter 18 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 9] (1438 words)

So, I'm gettingback into my groove, trying to give you people more updates. Lemmie know what you tink! Please do. I live for reviews. If I dont get reviews, they make me sad, and a sad Obsessive can't write. Hopefuly I wil FINALLY et to the Slytherin meeting tomorrow. But...maybe I should skip that, and write it later as an accompaniment? Tell me which I should do. As for this chapter, enjoy!

19. Chapter 19 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 16] (2337 words)

I'M BAAAAAACCCKK!!!!!!!!! Aren't you glad? This is the first of Three brand new chapters, but to get the others, I need 20 reviews. Just twenty, guys, not many at all!
I look forward to hearing what you guys think of this one. And Severus' newest dilemna......

20. Chapter 20 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 12] (5324 words)

OK! Hurray for speedier updates! and HURRAY for long chapters! Now, all of you tell me what you think about this, K? Lot's of loose magic going on here. LEAVE A REVIEW!!!! Reviews make me smile.

21. Chapter 21 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 7] (3098 words)

I am sooooooooooo sorry for the delay in getting this chapter up. I've lost my laptop, which had all of my half-written chapters, plots, pairings, everything in it, hit a small bout of "bleh" along the way, and I had some reviewers who were less than nice about this story. Yea, kinda threw me for a loop. And then for some reason I just COULDN'T get what was in my head to transfer onto the computer, or even onto paper.......BUT IT'S ALL BETTER NOW!! I hope. I'm not working at the moment, things are really bad here, so hopefully I can get more updates in. But I hope people are still interested in reading this. Mostly just Snape and Hermione. I attempted a bit of plot laying here, you might see it, if you squint.This was something like six pages, hope you guys like it and leave me a few reviews! They really DO make for faster updates, you know.....

22. Chapter 22 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 1] (2750 words)

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW THIS TOOK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry. It took forever for me to wrie, and hen I had to wait on my new Beta (yay!!!!!!!) Sorry if this isn't really up to previous standards. I'm kinda struggling with my muse...........
BUT I hope everyone that reads leaves a review. You guys are the reason I'm still writing.

23. Chapter 23 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 1] (4764 words)

YAY! A whole other chapter up. Thank you guys so much for the reviews. I had a lot of fun with this chapter, even though I'm pretty sure I messed a few things up. Like the parseltongue. I also kinda spilled a secret that wasn't really a secret anymore, but I hope you all enjoy it anyway. Special Awesome thanks to my beta whom I whom I know as Carol. I hope to get my laptop (finally) this weekend, but that doesn't mean updates will be more frequent. I joined NaNoWriMo this year, and for the whole month of November I shall be writing like a mad thing. But I shall see. Reviews are great alternatives to candy!

24. Chapter 24 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 3] (4246 words)

I want to thank you all for the many reviews and kind responses you sent for the last chapter. Thanks so much! I hope you all enjoy this. Chapter 24 is actually a whole lot longer, but I reached a sticky point, and wanted to get something up. Here you go!

25. Chapter 25 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 10] (4029 words)

Sorry for the delay! Hope you all like this chapter. I tried to answer a few questions in this one, hope I did alright!

26. Chapter 26 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 6] (4161 words)

Thank you to all the reviewers who helped to get me off my tush. This chapter is for you. Enjoy!

27. Chapter 27 part 1 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 2] (4989 words)

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!! My laptop computer crashed, and so I lost a good amount of what I'd already written, and then it took me a bajillion tries to log back in, and that was AFTER I remembered that I'm a part of this site. Needless to say, My head is not the most organized place. But I hope you guys like this chapter! i've been doing a bit more writing, in that I've started and posted another Sev and Harry fic. It is kind of dark, though, so I don;t know if I'll post it. Let me know what you guys think though!!!

28. Chapter 27 part 2 by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 7] (3516 words)

Here's the second part!

29. Chapter 29 Part One by ObsessiveaboutSnape [Reviews - 2] (3801 words)

Author’s Note: first of all I want to tell you guys just how amazing you are and how much I love each and every one of you for taking the time to read and review. I swear seeing that counter get higher and higher gives me a thrill way down to my toes, and I love getting new reviews, especially long ones, or ones that try to guess what’s going to happen next. You guys make my day every single time, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
Secondly, I want to apologize for the false Chapter 28 a few weeks ago. I’ve been having some computer trouble, and had revised the chapter then posted it. But instead of replacing the current chapter 27 I posted it as chapter 28, realized I could replace the chapter, and then tried to delete 28, but it took a while. I never knew how much I took my mouse for granted until I couldn’t use it. Also, sorry about the long waits in between chapters. I’ve been trying to update on a cycle, but it’s a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. Hopefully I’ll get it right.
Thank you and welcome to all my new reviewers. I hope you stick around for a long, long time to come.
Also, a few things: 1) The person Severus mentioned with ‘a particular fondness for the color blue’ at the end of last chapter wasn’t anyone in the DMLE. It was a reference to Malcolm Albie, the Ministry official from Games that was chatting Nerissa up during the ceremony, the one Cornelius teased Sev about. I know they were talking about the DMLE, but Nerissa was kind of sad, and Severus wanted to cheer her up. In my head she teased him a little bit about him ‘rushing to her rescue’ for the rest of the night before the fighting started, so him referencing that would bring back all those memories of her making him blush and fume and funtimes, therefore making her feel better. Hope this helps people understand. I got quite a few reviews about that bit.
2) Dumbledore is not evil. I’m probably giving away my biggest plot by doing this, but I felt like it had to be addressed. Dumbledore is not evil. Sure he’s doing some pretty bad things, but I put that part with him in his office before Harry and Co. came in to show WHY he was doing the things he did. I thought you guys would appreciate it, but it seemed I confused you . I’m sorry. Dumbledore is just a manipulative bastard. A manipulative bastard who’s trying to do the very best for the greater good, even though he’s been shut out of his weapon’s life and so has to be a bit more underhanded than he’d like. I’m trying to keep him as canon as possible, and I really do think I am. Dumbledore’s not evil. Look at what he wanted in the books, and look at what he wants here. Same things, different methods for different circumstances. Someone got close to what his whole deal is. But not close enough. Keep guessing!
3) Ron. Geez, I love you guys. That’s all I’m going to say about that for now, and that your theories make me giggle insanely.
4) Thank you for the Draco/Sirius love. I was afraid I’d upset some reviewers by clarifying that Draco was Sirius’ and not both he and Remus’ but you guys took it well. Sirius and Remus are just friends in this fic, though Remus is in love with a certain other Black….
Love you guys. Here’s the next chapter. Part of it anyway.
