her ribs (and other things that break and heal)

When Mirtille the house-elf leaves a dying baby on the doorstep of 12 Grimmauld Place, Remus and Sirius become fathers overnight to Regulus Black's daughter-a child so neglected she's forgotten how to cry.

From a seven-month-old who weighs barely eleven pounds to a brilliant young woman navigating Hogwarts, first love, and eventually war, this is Andie's story: learning to trust, to love, to be loved in return. It's about two men who never planned to be parents becoming exactly what she needs. It's about Fred Weasley falling for a girl at eleven and waiting years for her to fall back. It's about feeding werewolves with magically-laced meat, surviving on chocolate-covered raisins, and finding home in the most coldest places.
