Summary
It's been two years since the Dark Lord's second rise and near victory brought wizarding Britain to its knees. The wounds are still deep, and the effects are still felt. In a world filled with lingering loss, Harry Potter and Nymphadora Tonks still search for some semblance of normalcy amongst it all.
Harry just wants to move on and be happy, but nobody told him being an adult after a personal war would be so isolating. Being The Boy-Who-Lived and The Man-Who-Won, Harry finds himself stuck between pressure for a job he doesn't want, out-of-reach friends and missing all the loved ones that died along the way. The worst scars are the ones no one can see, and it's the nightmares that have him questioning whether he'll ever be able to put the shadow of a madman behind him.
Tonks misses her husband. She misses the simple days of sitting at the pub with friends. She misses the job she was good at. She thinks of the times she sat by a cozy fire, laughing with her cousin and a boy with green eyes. The one solace she has is the baby Remus left her, a boy she loves with all her heart. The worst scars are the ones no one can see, and it's the nightmares that have Tonks questioning when she stopped smiling so easily.
