Take Me Back To Eden

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love." - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov.

Maeve Thorne hasn't been in the Scottish Isle since she graduated from Hogwarts and hasn't even been in most of Europe since the death of her childhood best friend, Lily Evans. To say her life hasn't been easy is an understatement, but the life she has made for herself came from the rubble of her past to reshape her future. With so many ghosts lingering around in the mind of the now renowned professor of wandless magic, it's almost as if the fates had given her some time to collect herself before ultimately coming face to face with the boy, now man, she once called friend. The memory of Severus Snape has incessantly haunted her ever since that incredible, confusing, intimate night by the Black Lake between the two teens. What will become of Maeve once she's reintroduced to the Potions Master, coming clean to her Godson, and what new horrors persist in the once protective embrace that the halls of Hogwarts once offered?
