Summary
The Second Wizarding War has ended and the wizarding world is ecstatic knowing that The Dark Lord Voldemort has been defeated once and for all by Harry Potter. Hogwarts has been repaired and its halls are bustling with activity as the usual seven class years have been augmented by an eighth to allow the students whose education had been disrupted by the war to complete their education.
Of course, an interrupted education isn't the only side effect of the war and, while most are coping with the effects of the war with the help of their family and friends, the same cannot be said for everybody. What happens to those who have no family to turn to? Those who don't feel they deserve the support of their friends? The ones on whose shoulders too much responsibility was placed and for whom the expectations remain too high? This story follows the struggles of one such young man and his journey to acceptance and healing through the emotional support of the last people he'd ever have thought to find a family with.
WARNING: The subject matter of this story may be an issue for some. It most certainly does not start out in a happy place and while all will eventually turn out for the better it will be a journey to get there.
