Summary: A year after Voldemort’s death, Harry and Snape have reached a brittle reconciliation with one another. Harry wishes Snape would speak more to him about Lily, but Snape is being stubbornly secretive and jealous of his private life. Harry’s own relationship with Ginny is getting shakier. Hermione has initiated a campaign in the press against Obliviating spells which will have unexpected consequences for Neville Longbottom, and the Auror Office is looking for Voldemort’s son, without really believing that he exists.
In the second part of “Spiral” Harry goes to medical school at St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries and lives at Grimmauld Place in London with Ginny, Ron and Hermione. As to Snape, he is a multitasking headmaster who seems to turn up ever so often in Harry’s life. This story is part of the series, Spiral. The previous story in the series is Spiral of Trust.

Story Notes:
"Spiral of Despair" or "Harry goes through Purgatory" is the second part of the “spiral” series which has been parked for a couple of years on my computer, and which is now completed. A bit more expeditious than the first part, it nonetheless plays out from one end of summer until the start of next, and follows the characters during their first year after leaving Hogwarts. The story could probably stand on its own, but it is preferable to have read the first part, because there will be references (and spoilers) to events which took place during the previous year (a seventh year at Hogwarts, see “Spiral of Trust”).
Warnings apply to some chapters, not being consequent themes of the story.
