Being an ex-spy makes fatherhood difficult for Severus, and his son Harry knows this. Therefore, Harry has never been surprised that his father has talked so little of what happened during the first Wizarding War, a time when the Ministry of Magic still refused to believe he was acting on Dumbledore’s orders. It is a silence Severus has been able to keep without question, but when Harry discovers an old trunk of his father’s, he finds in it something Severus had never intended to see the light of day - a muggle war medal. No longer can Severus keep his past hidden, and no longer can he shelter his son from the reality of what happens when one war bleeds into another … the truth of where traitors go when Azkaban is full.

Young Harry is in his Third Year at Hogwarts, Sirius Black is on the loose and the young Ravenclaw is not safe in his own dormitories. For this Sirius Black is not what we all thought he was, he is more dangerous and unpredictable.

What Professor Snape had warned him against was happening and Harry is taken from his dormitory deep into one winter night. It is not a nice encounter and the young Raveclaw will be lucky to leave alive, hoping desperately for help when everything around him seemed to shatter into nothing.

It is up to the Potions Master's special ability to find him before things are too late and the young teen is lost forever.

An accident leads to a discovery, a discovery that neither Harry Potter nor Professor Severus Snape can abide. Now they have to live in the same castle knowing what they know. Each of them has friends who think they should give their relationship a chance. Friends really should mind their own business. Note: The warnings seem ominous but this is not a dark story, quite the contrary. The instances that include the warned of moments will simply be briefly referred to and not minutely examined.
