When Harry finds himself locked in a room that seems to be trying to kill him by Dumbledore, he knows he has to escape. Luckily, he gets help, but is brought to the one person he never would've thought to go to: Severus Snape. Under the man's protection, Harry will learn that his life has been a manipulated lie, there is a prophecy from Death himself-who likes to be called Nex?-Voldemort may be a better option, and he has a father who actually loves him. It's time for the Master of Death to step out of the shadows.
