When it was revealed that Voldemort was back, many of the Death Eaters' children were left without parents-their parents had been sent to Azkaban. Among the children were Mattheo Riddle, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, and Ophelia Crouch. The group claimed they would be able to make it on their own, but Dumbledore had already made other plans. He commissioned none other than Severus Snape to take in the group. And none of the five-not even Severus-were keen on the idea... at first.

They were never meant to be a family.
Ophelia Crouch, Mattheo Riddle, Theodore Nott, and Lorenzo Berkshire-four Slytherins burdened by legacies they never asked for. When their parents are sent to Azkaban, they find themselves under the reluctant care of the last man anyone would expect: Severus Snape.
What starts as a summer of defiance and distance slowly shifts into something unexpected-a home, built from late-night mischief, unspoken understanding, and a stubborn refusal to let each other go. But the shadows of their pasts are never far behind. As the danger lurking in the dark finally catches up to them, they are forced to fight for their lives, for each other, and for the future they never thought they could have.
In the end, family isn't just blood. It's who stands beside you when the night is at its darkest. And for the first time, they are no longer alone.
