    Summary

    The war left Hogwarts standing, but not unchanged.

    In the years that followed, students returned older, sharper and carrying more than textbooks ever accounted for. Authority was questioned. Gentleness became policy. Discipline was softened in the name of healing.

    Hermione Granger returned to finish her NEWTs believing in that shift. Brilliant, disciplined, and relentless, she set out to examine whether leniency truly strengthened learning, or merely comforted it. Her research placed her back in the dungeons, assisting Professor Severus Snape, whose methods had never bent to fashion or approval.

    What began as an academic inquiry quickly became something else.

    Summary

    Severus Snape has lived in Berlin for seventeen years, teaching at a Muggle university. He turned his back on the wizarding world; the weight of the war was too heavy, the memories too deeply etched, the guilt too grave, even for a man like him. Though many regard him as a hero, he knows the title feels hollow. One day, an unexpected letter arrives from the Ministry of Magic. His heir is about to complete his schooling, yet no arrangements have been made to induct him into the bloodline or its affairs.
