Summary
Harry Potter defeated the last Dark Lord for good that Halloween night when his parents died. Yet, due to an unfortunate act of selfish revenge, he still wound up in the uncaring arms of his mum’s sister, beaten down and unloved. Until Severus remembered how to care about someone besides himself, when Harry was seven. Taking a strong role in Harry’s life, Severus taught Harry what it meant to be loved, and that family wasn’t defined by blood.
Nearly twenty years later, Severus couldn’t be prouder of the powerful, confident young man he raised. A brilliant, accomplished, and highly respected Auror, Harry has already left an undeniable mark on their world as he carves a path towards his glorious destiny. However, when Severus makes an unfortunate miscalculation and the pungent new acquisition for his shop greenhouse brings more scrutiny than planned, he finds himself at risk of exposing his son’s dark secrets alongside his own.
