As grand is his ability to hide and control his emotions are, his ability to feel is grander

Severus learns to navigate through his suffering, through a relationship. He navigates PTSD and the fall out from the war with the help of an old acquaintance, an unspeakable. The pressures of his role reach a peak and he realises that true bravery is recovery, it's moving on.

We get an inside look at the workings of the ministry and the role of Unspeakables too, which I find fascinating. The story covers PTSD and the impact it has on relationships and daily life too, it starts during goblet of fire.

If horcrux's, dark magic and angst are your things, give it a whirl. It is a slow burn ish, we see more of who the characters are as you work through the story too.

He, a double spy, a man as complex as the magic that surrounds him. A Master of Potions and of Dark Arts, and a prisoner of his own past. In the dimly-lit dungeons of Hogwarts, where shadows dance & secrets whisper, stands a man charged with taming the beast hiding within her. His orders, clear. His path, one of no return. And she's the final key to it all. In a world where betrayal & sacrifice twist and turn, a dark tale of deception and desire unfolds under the looming clouds of the wizarding war. The line between friend and foe blurs as a choice must be made. One that will mean the difference between life and death, as the simmering cauldron of forbidden love with its shimmering fumes bewitches the minds, ensnares the senses, teaching them how to bottle pain, brew longing, and even how to put a stopper in death. But in the darkest of times, if anything is possible, then everything is at stake. ✨Word count: 226,854✨ ❗Tags/TWs:❗ Slow Burn, Angst, Age Difference, Hurt/Comfort, Violence, Blood, Death, Past Abuse, Dark, Dark Past, Past Violence, Gentle for SO, Sexual Content, Explicit Sexual Content, Possessive/Protective SO

"Well, I did think of Voldemort, but then... I thought of the Dementors.." Remus sighed gently, a small smile plastered on his face. "Well, Harry, that's a good choice. What you fear, is fear itself." Harry gulped nervously. "W-Well.. I thought of something else..." ____________________ TRIGGER WARNING This story contains sensitive material that some readers may find makes them uncomfortable! Read at your own risk! ____________________ This is the story of the Boy Who Lived. He trusted, fell in love, fought, and won. How dramatic can I make this story? Let's find out. ;) ____________________ Depressed!Harry I will NOT make him suicidal. It makes me uncomfortable, and I'm sure it makes others uncomfortable as well. Abused!Harry In this story, Harry will be abused! In a lot of fanfics, the abuse scenes always play out weird, but I'll try my best to make them, well, not weird... OOC!Draco Draco will be in character in the beginning of the story, but the more he learns about Harry, he will start to get a little out of character compared to the actual story! SHIPS/LABELS: Drarry! Harry and Draco WILL end up in a relationship! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave! (There's a nice little back button in the top left corner reserved just for you ;) ) Severitus! Snape will be fatherly and protective of Harry later on! This is NOT Snarry! Severus and Harry are NOT in a romantic relationship! Childish!Harry! I feel that, since Harry hasn't had a proper childhood where he could run around and have fun, he'd be pretty childish. This means curling up with Severus (Hinting Severitus here) in front of the fireplace, making rash and stupid decisions without thinking, etc. Basically acting like a child would. WARNINGS: HOMOSEXUALITY! There will be two boys in a relationship here! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave now! ABUSE!!! Please please please, if you are easily triggered by physical abuse, do NOT read this story! Otherwise... Enjoy!!

Severus Snape x fem Harry (Hally) Potter He burns for her for all the wrong reasons, she obsesses and aches for him for all the right ones. Will this be their love story or have the ghosts from their pasts doomed them from the start ? Hally Potter has spent her whole life alone. The pain and trauma the Dursley's have inflicted upon her make her feel like she'll never get out from underneath them. Until her eleventh birthday that is. She receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns of her heritage along with what really happened to her parents. She meets a lot of interesting people along the way whom she grows to love, including a certain brooding potions professor. Severus Snape was not well liked amongst his fellow professors and the students he taught potions to. His only reprieve was the knowledge that one day Lily's daughter would return to his world and he would be able to keep a close eye on her because he intended to right his wrongs with his one true love. Or so he thought. He immediately hated the girl with a passion and decided quite quickly that he would keep his distance and only interfere if her life was in imminent danger. As the years go on that task tends to prove more difficult than he originally thought because of one thing he hadn't foreseen. She has her mothers eyes. *Slowburn dark romance- large age gap, underage, eventual smut * Years 1-7 but mostly The Goblet of Fire-Deathly Hallows pt 2 I do not own any of the characters. They all belong to J.K.Rowling *please do not copy and post my book elsewhere*
