Severus was too late. when he got to their cottage Lily was already dead and Harry, their sweet child, was traumatized to the point of no return. Lucius was at large and the world was unsafe. Leaving Harry with James Potter and his Partner Sirius Black was his only choice as a spy and a father, and Severus couldn't afford to lose.

The Lernaean Hydra has many heads, and it seems as if you will never cut them all away. It's near immortal - as if it will never die.

With the death of a man he never expected, the wizarding war is tipped into motion, but Harry Potter doesn't feel prepared to approach it.

Mixed POV: changes between Harry Potter's and Severus Snape's.
