   Summary

   There are shadows within Hogwarts that no wand can dispel.
   And secrets that even magic cannot protect.

   When the line between guardian and ghost begins to blur, one woman will risk everything to rewrite the story, unseen, unnamed, and utterly unafraid.

   This is not the version you were told.
   This is the version that was hidden.

   Disclaimer: This work is an AU fanfiction based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe. Canon divergence begins before Year One and expands from there. Reader discretion is advised for themes including magical trauma, found family, and emotionally intense relationships.

   Update schedule; every Saturday and Sunday.

   If I can't update for some reason, I will do my best to inform you ahead of time.

   For now my friends, relax, pour your favourite beverage, and enjoy. the story
