   Summary

   After the deaths of his parents at the hands of the Dark Lord, Harry Potter is taken in by his godfather, Sirius Black. More important than this, however, is the fact that Harry Potter is a Slytherin.

   At least, that’s what is more important to Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor in the year below who finds herself just as much a loner as the Boy-Who-Lived and drawn to the dangerous gleam in his poison-green eyes.

   Unfortunately for her, snakes and lions just don’t get along – or is that just a lie that people tell?

   Or, a glance at Harry and Hermione’s relationship through and after the war.
