Severus has seen many a kind of strangeness in his years of life. However, none seem to even grace the presence of one certain mystery - Harry Potter. The boy leads trouble from the moment he set foot on the stones of Hogwarts, and yet, the troubles seem deeper and much darker than usual.

The more he tries to untangle the mystery of a certain Potter, the more he gets tangles in the mess. Will it be that Severus can know Harry, or will it be that he looses his own identity?

Someone has to pick up the pieces of Harry's broken soul. Severus just never expected to be the one to do it.

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.
