After the tragic death of Sirius Black, Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts tormented by grief, anger, and loneliness. No one seems to realize how close he is to the edge. One evening, while serving yet another detention under his hated Potions professor, he finds himself embroiled in a confrontation with Draco Malfoy that culminates in a dark and ancient spell.

The result? A mysterious curse that binds him irreversibly to Severus Snape.

Forced to live together, Harry and Snape must confront not only the magic that binds them, but also the ghosts of the past, their emotional scars, and their mutual prejudices. A journey through suffering, pride, and—perhaps—understanding.

A vividly drawn Severus, faithful to the original character, where emotional evolution takes center stage.

After Dementors attack Harry and Dudley, Vernon decides he's had enough of magic and enough of Harry. Nearly killed by his uncle, Harry unconsciously uses magic to call for help and is subsequently expelled from Hogwarts. Ending up in the care of Severus Snape, Harry finds himself brought on the professor's dangerous summer travels where they learn about Voldemort's past, Harry discovers he has an incredible rare magic, and they get to really know each other, so much so that Harry returns to Hogwarts as Snape's apprentice. With such a change in their relationship, the year at Hogwarts becomes an exercise in trust.

At seven, Harry still reached for Severus’s hand in crowds.
At eight, he stopped.
At nine, he apologized when he did it by mistake.

In the summer of 1987, Severus rescued him from the Dursleys and brought him to Cokeworth—a small, dying town outside Liverpool. While Harry comes of age during a brewing war, he struggles to become—and understand what it means to be—a man. As the world tries to make him a saviour, Severus fights to hold on to the seven year old boy who afforded him a second chance at life.

Told in alternating perspectives, this is a story of growing up and of grieving the person someone used to be.

There is a very ordinary love that holds you together as the world falls apart. Salvation is a person.

Harry Potter is involved in a potions accident which ends up with him de-aging to a foetus and implanting in the womb of Severus Snape, who is a bearer. Severus can no longer spy, to the chagrin of Albus Dumbledore, but he uses it as an opportunity to show his true self, the person he has been forced to hide for over twenty years.

And maybe, just maybe, he can save his students from the pressures of war.

Mentions of physical, emotional and sexual abuse that various characters are trying to heal from. Many characters being bashed.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is no stranger to life turning out completely different to what he could have ever expected. He was an abused boy with murdered parents who turned out to be a wizard and the target of a dark lord after all. Given everything that had happened since he entered the wizarding world, he was used to his life being turned upside down. However, as the world gets torn apart by Voldemort's raging war in his 5th year, Harry is about to discover that everything he thought he knew all this time was a terrible lie and threatens to destroy everything he's created.
