Summary
October 1998. The war is over, but its wounds are not.
When Severus Snape follows an impulse he cannot quite name into the overgrown back garden of Grimmauld Place, he finds Hermione Granger; alone, scarred, and barely holding together. What begins as a cigarette shared in the dark becomes something neither of them planned for: a marriage of convenience, a shared set of rooms at Hogwarts, and the slow, careful work of two people learning to trust again.
Hermione is hiding an enormous secret. Severus is further along in his healing than he expected, and not as far as he thought. Hogwarts has opinions about both of them. And Fenrir Greyback has not forgotten what Bellatrix promised him.
A slow burn built on consent, therapy, breathing exercises, chocolate biscuits at 3am, and the radical act of asking before you touch someone.
I own nothing. Not the rights to the Harry Potter universe, not to the Cure songs, not to the Killers lyrics. I'm just playing with the world these artists created.

Summary
Sirius knows what he wants. He's just gotta figure out a way to get it. What could go wrong when he decides to use an old family spell at Christmas time to win Hermione's heart? Obviously nothing.
Hilarity ensues.
**WORK COMPLETE**
-- I am appalled that this has turned into a WIP. A *Christmas* WIP. I am disgusted with myself. Except to say that Sirius is a fucking delight and I enjoy writing every minute of this. Please enjoy. Updates soon. - dragonBig thanks to my alphabet BasicHumanWrites who is a terrible influence. As usual. You're the best. Thank you for taking a look at the first 8 chapters, and I'm sorry I couldn't restrain myself from posting the rest before you had a chance to look. The people want what the people want! And thank you to slytherin_spellbook for the pinch hitting beta work! Apologies also offered to you on my lack of self-restraint.
So you see, all the mistakes are totally mine.
