Summary
Six months after the war, Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts—not as the Boy Who Lived, but as someone learning how to live again. Haunted by memories and unsure who he is without a battle to fight, Harry finds himself untethered in a school that feels both familiar and foreign.
Then there’s Theodore Nott—quiet, sharp-tongued, and infuriatingly hard to read. A Slytherin who shouldn’t matter, but somehow keeps showing up. With every teasing word and unreadable glance, Theo begins to slip past Harry’s defenses, settling into his life in ways Harry never saw coming.
But nothing was ever simple for Harry Potter. The battles he fought are not truly over, and the past is not done with him. Secrets linger in whispered voices and forgotten books. Shadows stretch out from bloodlines and betrayals, and the truth—about his family, about Theo, about himself—is darker and more complicated than he’s ready to face.
While forming an unlikely group of friends, and slow-burning feelings, Harry realizes that surviving the war was only the beginning. Because some curses don’t kill. Some bind.
And some were cast long before he was born.
