Eighteen-year-old Harry Potter, despite being the celebrated "Chosen One" who'd recently vanquished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at last (not to mention his preceded glory as the "Boy Who Lived"), suffers greatly in the aftermath. Over a month has so far passed since that final showdown at Hogwarts, yet STILL — the young adult wizard cannot sleep, cannot close his eyes without seeing vivid images of that horrific night jog hauntingly across his mind without end. Nevertheless, as Harry now returns to Hogwarts for his rather "belated" seventh year (if one could call it), an unexpected person shockingly spotlights into Harry's traumatized life, even proving to be the beginning of a new, unimaginable attraction and interest: Draco Malfoy!

Could one lost love really have been the only thing that turned Severus into the angry, cruel, and sneering Potions Master that Harry met his first year?

You’ll meet Severus’s most loyal companion, Marcella Lynch, from the beautiful beginning of their relationship first year, to the tragic end well after the wizarding world thought they were rid of the Dark Lord forever. This story is not an AU; it will work out to fit canon.
