I know this is a departure for you, but it\'s very good so far. You\'ve taken the key fact that fueled the marriage challenge -- a declining popuon -on -- and shaped it into a completely different but just as intriguing plot. I\'ve always seen Snape as innately curious (he was forever tailing the Mauraders around, after allo tho this characterization of him seems fitting, especially since you\'re hinting that he\'s interested in peeling away more than the mystery around her. This I\'m-not-going-to-take-it Hermione also comes across as spot-on.
Concrit -- it doesn\'t seem in character for the Weasleys to turn against her for two reasons: They see her as family, and, almost as importantly, they\'ve never been afraid to take unpopular stands. I\'ll concede that they could mistakeningly believe that her research is false, or that the result of publicizing it would be worse than doing nothing, but even that seems somewhat un-Weasley-ish. Also, wouldn\'t Bill have to know a great deal of Arithmancy for his job as a curse-breaker for Gringotts? He could tell \'em she\'s right. (And where\'s Dumbledore in allthisthis?) It would be easier to see Fudge in the bad-guy role here ... or perhaps some other ministry person. (Hey -- Percy!)
But despite that gripe, I really like this story. Really! Keep writing.

I love the start. So many questions...
Why is she leaving? Why is Snape even inquiring? Where are the other two (the boys) of the trio?
Poor McGonnagall. So brave. Sounded like she charged out like she did in OotP to Hagrid\'s hut. Ouch!
Cheers Egg.
