Summary
On the first day of summer after 5th year, Harry is sure that he will have the longest, worst summer of his life. Still grieving Sirius and with thoughts of the prophecy, his only thought is to make it to Hogwarts in the fall.
His plans are ruined when a Death Eater attack leaves the Dursleys dead, the blood wards destroyed, and Severus Snape's cover as spy blown. Now, both are wanted by the Dark Lord and in danger. For their own safety, Dumbledore sends the two to a safe house, far to the north -- a cottage by the sea. There, Harry and Severus learn far more about each other than they ever dreamed.
(Post OoTP, but alternate HBP. Pure Severitus angst. No Snarry romance, but maybe a little Hinny. Not beta read or Britt picked.)
