The Measure of Compassion
Pairing: Hermione Granger / Severus Snape
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Hermione wins Snape in an auction and gets more than she bargained for.
Notes: Very vaguely inspired by the bachelor's auction challenge on WIKTT, but fits none of those criteria - just an auction where Hermione bids on Snape.
Caution: This is long and kind of angsty, with no lemons and an uncertain Happily-Ever-After. Snape and Hermione do find each other and love, but the form it takes is of their own making. I hope that you'll give them a chance to share it with you.
