Ominis Gaunt has a past and a family that shadows his life, a soul burdened with guilt he never believes can be forgiven. Wren Harding has never known a life of magic until the day dark wizards came knocking on her door and changed everything, leaving her with a curse that leaves her blind on some days and sighted on others. Upon coming upon her own magic shortly after, Wren is invited to begin school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the wing of none other than Ominis Gaunt. Will the two find solace and peace in each other or will pasts be too strong to forge new futures?

Shortly after Theda Desmond replaces Professor Binns as Hogwarts' new History of Magic teacher, she learns that she possesses a rare talent known only to the legendary Altier family, former founders of the French Ministry of Magic who mysteriously went missing 200 years ago. As she works to uncover the secrets of her curious origins, she develops an unlikely bond with the brooding Potions master, Severus Snape. As their friendship grows, the two begin to recognize that they share a common pain that few have experienced. Will their unique ability to understand each other set them on a course toward healing and new beginnings, or will the ghosts of the past return to tear them apart?

While the nature of this story wanes between humorous and romantic, it is also, in many ways, a story about the non-linear nature of grief. I hope you enjoy it.
This is my first ever fanfic! Please vote for each chapter if you're enjoying the story, as this will encourage me to continue updating it regularly! Thanks!
