Post-War Snape has survived and is learning how to live with his newfound fame and the newest professor at Hogwarts. Serena Barrett has taken over the Charms classes and has quietly charmed her way into Severus' heart. Fueled by her empathic healing powers, she is determined to bring change to Hogwarts and to Snape. Can she break through Severus' hardened walls and help him realize how worthy his soul truly is? Only time will tell.

The war has past and the world is rebuilding. Severus has decided it is time to move on, time to find a life of his own. He accepts a job at the Great Northern Hospital in Kiruna, Sweden. Alongside their dark and angry Potions mistress, he will brew and begin a new life. But, there is something about the Mistress that may take awhile to uncover and he has never been one to back down from a challenge.

Severus Snape is the man in the plan. He doesn't know the whole plan. Yet he orchestrates it. Alone and living in solitude. He does fairly well in secrecy. Mostly because he has to. Becoming his friend or lover would be dangerous. Much too dangerous for anyone to cross the divide. But he meets a woman named Seren, a bold Thunderbird who has no fear. Can they maintain a relationship with no feelings involved? Can her company keep him grounded without compromising the plan?

Ilvermorny and Hogwarts have restarted their exchange program; however, now professors are invited to join. Severus Snape has decided to take a break from the constant post-war attention and teach for a year at their American partner school. While there, he meets a teacher who is strange, unique, and possibly his soul mate. Sort of companion to "What Are Your Hands For Now" Original character of Serena Barrett. Will be giving more backstory into her life, studies, achievements, and healing powers.
