One day, he just scrawled his signature all over Henry’s face, just for the heck of it. The fan whose book he’d been holding had absolutely loved the fact that he’d done so, so a few events later, where more and more fans of the film he and Henry had done together had shown up, he’d done it again, to the sheer delight of the fans there. After that, it had become some sort of joke, just to see how long it’d take Henry to realise he was doing it.

With Albus Dumbledore dead, Severus Snape assumes the unwanted role of Headmaster, charged with bringing the students of Hogwarts through the rest of the war against Voldemort somehow intact. Severus’s heart tears itself in two, trying to hold on to Miranda Rose, his reckless American fiancée, while still following Albus’s orders from beyond the grave.
Unfortunately, the more he reveals to Miranda, the less she trusts him. And the harder he clings to the loyalties of the past, the faster his future disappears.

Elara Avery was entering her seventh year of Hogwarts with a broken engagement to a dangerous man, the threat of expulsion held over her head by her extortionist Headmaster, and the expectation that she either be engaged or prepared to join the "family business" by Christmas. All of this because of one fateful night where that idiotic fourth year helped the Dark Lord rise again and inadvertently ruined all of Elara's most well laid plans. With the help of friends new and old, a turncoat potions professor, and a certain devious redhead she might just be able to graduate keeping everyone satisfied...
Or she might just die trying.

As Miranda slowly recovers from her Romanian adventure, Severus struggles to conceal the depth of his feelings for her. A spy can’t afford to fall in love at all, let alone with a woman as bewitching as she is capricious.
But hidden feelings may be the least of their problems. Miranda is partnered with Remus Lupin on his mission to win over the werewolf packs of Great Britain. And Severus is ordered to preform a secret task so terrible, Miranda’s love—and his very soul—may be the cost.
