Review:
Finally, an HP rec without a character death warning! Though I should note that this story is not book seven compliant.

Severus Snape is happy with his life as an organic chemistry professor, though it is a bit busy. So busy, in fact, that he decides to hire a lab assistant. Oddly enough, only one person applies for a job, and the handsome green-eyed applicant is strangely familiar...

As everyone knows by this point, I have a huge weakness for amnesia fic, especially long, plotty amnesia fic with a great ending. The Dreaming Spires is just that, with a lost Snape, a determined Harry, cameos from everyone from Dumbledore to animangus!Minerva, and a mystery: why has Severus Snape forgotten all about the wizarding world? The story gets a little slow in places, but trust me, by the end you won't care. A great, fun read.

The Dreaming Spires 

Yay!

Oh this is a dear sweet thing, if a bit abrupt in the ending. This is a bit original take for amnesia fic.
