Once they find out that certain Potions Master is not as dead as they thought he was, things will start to change. (Snape!Lives)

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.

Determined to finish what his master failed, Harry is sent back to the Dursleys where he can be safe within the blood wards and not allowed to visit the Weasleys at all nor contact his friends. To make sure of this, Hedwig is forbidden from being taken back to the Dursleys, yet after Sirius is sighted near Privet Drive, Professor Snape is forced to take control of Harry as an apprentice. However, when Snape arrives at Privet Drive, he discovers that Potter is missing. Is it Black that kidnapped him? Is it someone or something else more sinister?

Yet amidst these troubles, Harry discovers something about himself and a hidden crime that only a murderer and his best friends know, something that may change Harry's future for the better...or the worse.
