When Severus Snape comes back for his 6th year at Hogwarts he is mute. That is because of his father's abuse. He gets beat, hit, thrown you name it. Lily teaches him sign language and he manages to survive. James had a great summer, yet when he comes back to school he finds something different in Snape. He doesn't talk, makes weird actions with his hands... Will he do something? Will he step in? Will he keep bullying him? All characters belong to J.K.Rowling. - This book is now up for adoption.
