"The scars of my soul, I'm no longer whole. Searching for peace has left me in shambles."

Lord Severus and Lady Aurora Ravenclaw-Prince (nee Sinistra) and their son, Lazuli Acheron (Harry Potter) were happily living together, since Lazuli was four, with the expectation of another on the way when they receive word that the Potters were alive.

This conflicts both Severus and Lazuli because on one hand, they're happy to see Lily again, but Severus felt betrayed by her ever since their 5th year and finds it hard to forgive her.

Will Severus and Lazuli eventually forgive Lily and James and let them into their lives, or shut them out?

Harry James Potter grew up knowing two very important things: his family was kind of famous in the wizarding world, and his biological father died with honor in battle when Harry was only three-years-old.

Desperate to save his family after learning about the prophecy, James decided to take the Dark Mark; figuring he couldn't defy the Dark Lord as a loyal Death Eater, right? This simple change allowed Lily to survive but he died in the battle allowing Voldemort to take over the Wizarding World.

Harry's now sixteen years old and growing up as a Death Eater's son under Voldemort's oppressive regime has challenged him in ways no one expected, most of all his stepfather, Severus Snape. With the war on Muggles on the horizon, Harry - determined to fight - and Snape, doing whatever possible to keep Harry safe from the prophecy while coming to terms with his own guilt over James's death, must find a way to come together to rid the world of the Darkest Wizard of their time.

Inspired (not exactly) by the challenge Hard Choice by: Lon Wolfgood where James Potter shocks everyone when… he takes the Dark Mark.

Completely AU, no horcruxes, mentor/adoption story, no slash.
