Reveals are up at giftfest!

And I can now admit to writing The Librarian, for [livejournal.com profile] sabrebabe.  I decided to do a combination of two of her prompts, (prompt #3) Post War, Severus' books have seen much better days. Hermione needs a job that won't drive her crazy. Severus has old books and manuscripts that need TLC, binding, mending, and cataloguing. Perhaps Lucius's library has fallen on hard times, and needs a new home?
I also added something of prompt #2-Post War, Hermione has gone into seclusion and has taken up creating Magical Artifacts anonymously. Highly sought after and very expensive, the unknown artist has a long waiting list of offers. A Former not-quite-as-dead-as-they-thought Professor has been looking for the mysterious Craftsman (probably at Lucius' insistence). Why, and what happens next?

I'd also like to acknowledge and thank my lovely beta reader: [livejournal.com profile] delphipsmith, and alpha reader: [livejournal.com profile] morethansirius for all of their help and encouragement. Without their input this story would not have been possible. Thanks again ladies, you're both awesome!

Summary: Severus needs someone to help him organize an inheritance, Dumbledore's private library. A tip leads him to a mysterious woman known only as the Librarian.
Author's Note: Unending thanks go to 'D' by lovely beta, and 'T' my alpha reader, two wonderful ladies who go above and beyond. Many thanks to sabrebabe for the awesome prompts. The story is a combination of two of your prompts, I hope I did them justice.
As usual the story sort of got away from me—I'm practically incapable of writing a one-shot. Also the locations in Orkney that I used for part of the story are real and I became quite fascinated by them while doing my research.

I'm the same way :) but yours was absolutely brilliant, so no need to worry there!

I'll be interested to hear what you think of the movie and how the story followed and didn't once you've watched it. :)
