   Summary

   Evelynn returns to Hogwart with big ambitions for bettering the students lives. Severus struggles to make lemonade from the lemons life has handed him. Harry is just happy to have three hot meals a day.

   This is the second part of a canon-divergent / AU fix-it fic. It is a collection of oddly strung together chapters, spanning the years 1991 to 1992, Harry's first year at Hogwarts. Beware of canon divergence from summer itself, gradually growing into a very reluctant mentor!Snape, and lots of therapy for everyone.

   Exploring the concepts of :
   what a healthy relationship looks like (both familial and romantic), how mind magic and psychotherapy may overlap, the potential for abuse when practicing mind magic, why Hogwarts needs a student counsellor, and how love can save us all.
