Wizard and the Beast

Lord Harry Potter, eighteen, newly graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, must save the life of his godfather and guardian, Sirius, Viscount Black, by taking his place at the gothic Murkwood Manor, and becoming the companion of the elusive earl, Lord Severus Snape, who resides there, who may or may not be afflicted by a Dark Magic curse. It is through mutual compassion and understanding that Harry becomes not a prisoner, but a valued friend, and, soon, Harry and Severus must come to terms with the notion that there is deep lust, and perhaps even love, between the two of them. But, Severus is of the opinion that, if you love someone, you must set them free, and Harry isn't quite sure that he wishes to go any longer.
