In the Wake of the Butterflies-slow burn Drarry

After the war, Harry Potter expected peace. What he didn't expect was to be taken in by Julian Desmond-Hogwarts' mysterious new alchemy professor with a past as haunted as his own.

Julian once had a son, Soren, who never got to grow up. A brilliant inventor. A ghost in the snow. A boy stolen by monsters.

Now, Harry finds himself tangled in a past he never knew, uncovering the truth about Soren's death, Julian's hidden grief, and a secret war far older than Voldemort.

But he's not alone. Draco Malfoy-burdened by the sins of his family-has his own ghosts to chase. And when their paths collide, Harry will have to face not just his enemies, but the feelings he's buried deep inside.

Because some wounds never truly heal. And some ghosts never really leave.
