    Summary

    Severus Snape had made his choices long ago and would never forgive himself. He lives a life of regret for what he has done and resentment for what has been done to him. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, but the horror of his wrongful imprisonment cannot be forgotten. Every day he faces a battle that no one else can ever truly understand, but love for Harry and hope for a better world and the family they'll someday be gives him the strength to keep fighting with an open heart. Harry Potter has always had too much asked of him but he's never had to fight alone. While being forced by Dumbledore to learn Occlumency from Snape over the summer, he realizes that he's had a protector in the professor all along. With the discovery of common ground between them, nothing will ever be the same again.

    Summary

    A spell hitting James Potter in the middle of the great hall ends up showing students and teachers pieces from the future. Not James' future though, but his son's future and the end of the war ahead of them. Could they possibly hope to create a better future for their children?

    [No quotes from the books, it's more like... distantly following canon so... see it as... Basically watching my fan-made version of the events... I mean, just... Read. You'll see.]
    • NO Bashing but not Dumbledore Friendly. || Romance is not the focus of the story.
