"Why do you care?" "I promised you I'd never leave you in the dark, didn't I?" "It's already too late, you did." Lily Luna Potter is taken aback, literally, when her childhood friend, Lysander Scamander appears out of the blue to attend his seventh year at Hogwarts. But the lively, lanky, crooked-toothed eleven year old she knows is gone and now appears a man who carries the weight of the past. Lily becomes determined to make Sander stop living in the past and move forward. But as she becomes entangled in it herself, she can't help but wonder if she's really cut out for the job.
