Once upon a time he was Harry of the orphanage of Leeds. But after a summer spent discovering that he and Professor Snape had been tied together for 12 years by their shared ghosts, Harry Potter had become Harry of Bainbridge, the boy Snape had adopted. Harry didn’t know if he’d ever get used to being called Master Snape, or if the kids at school would ever stop pestering him with questions about what it was like to live with the often dour Potions Professor. He was certain he was looking forward to going back to his new home for Christmas though, to spend it with his new father, and to learn what it meant to have a home to go back to. Harry had never celebrated a real Christmas before... Entry to Winter Fest 2021.

The Muggles called it the London sinkhole, the mysterious crater which suddenly opened up, leaving the infrastructure in tatters. But, for the magical folk who lived to tell the tale, it was called the Whitehall Massacre, the Day of Fallen Ash. Awakened to the knowledge of his own weakness, Harry must try to find his way in a society crippled, a people fractured, and a bedrock shaken. Haunted and adrift, he crumbles, but finds himself held aloft by the unlikely bonds he has made. As they begin to rebuild, uncover hidden secrets, and navigate the mounting political turmoil, it's imperative that they grow stronger together.

Because the road to recovery is long, but time is incredibly short.
