Lilly Malfoy

She has one light in a world gone dark. Alastor Moody/Penelope Clearwater

In St. Mungo's, Minerva McGonagall receives a visitor with dreadful news. Snape/McGonagall.

He will see that she is in the best of hands... Minerva McGonagall is transfered to St. Mungo's by an unusual road.

The Order of the Phoenix is bound together by the things they know, bound by secrets, dreams, and nightmares. Sometimes friends and lovers, but always allies, their strength is in the knowing. Moody/Tonks, Snape/McGonagall, Lupin/Black.

"To stand together, always, no matter how few of us remained, that was what we swore." Severus and Minerva, together at the end.

Somewhere in the world, dawn is always breaking. Dark nights, old fears, and just a bit of hope. Severus and Minerva remember.

In the year following the Triwizard Tournament, Severus Snape has reprised his role as a spy amongst the Death Eaters, passing information to his colleagues at great personal risk. One of those colleagues is Minerva McGonagall, Snape's oldest friend, who is perhaps dearer to him than she knows. But what has lain untold for years can only be held silent so long, and on the day of Voldemort's fall, the truth will attend to itself, and two lost souls will at last find each other.
