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 met Holly when she was two - abandoned in the park by her mother. Unable to leave her alone, he stayed behind to keep her safe. Over the years, they became as inseparable as brother and sister.
When Harry found out he was a wizard, he was happy to find that Holly was a witch too, and one day, she would enter his new world with him.

Finding out he was a father to a nine-year-old girl, Severus Snape didn't hesitate to bring her home. His daughter belonged by his side, after all. Finding his daughter preferred Harry Potter over him was a travesty the Potions Master was not going to tolerate.

Somehow, Severus had to make his daughter see Harry Potter as he did - worthless, useless, hopeless.
