Story Notes:
This is a novel length fic. The main emphasis of the story centers upon the emotional healing of both Harry (how he overcomes his depression stemming from the loss of Sirius, the trauma of the Third Task, etc.) and Severus (his healing is a much longer process and stems the majority of the fic). While I admire and respect the genius of JK Rowling and fabulous universe she created, the fact that Harry experienced several horrific events and emerged from them emotionally unscathed and that Severus was bitter and emotionally closed off were two areas that, in my opinion, were never fully dealt with; this is my attempt to address and resolve these issues. This fic contains some teenage slash (Harry experiments a little) and one character death (NOT a principle character). The 'suicide theme' refers to one very brief mention of the topic. ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO THE GREAT JKR; I am only playing in her universe. Eternal thanks to Steppenwolf (RIP) for his editing on the early chapters, and my unbounded gratitude and thanks go to Willingly Suspend for betaing the majority of this work.
