The Battle of Hogwarts was over and it was time to pick up the pieces. Voldemort was dead at last but he'd left a stain on the world of magic. Ministry agents search the Riddle Manor and find much more than they'd ever expected to. A girl chained deep underground. After the sacrifical death of Harry Potter, Severus Snape thought himself free of anything to do with the Dark Lord. That falls apart when the strange girl is brought to Hogwarts to hone her magical ability.Public Domain
