  Summary

  The funny thing about reflecting on one’s past is that it can go one of two ways:

  You can ignore the mistakes you made and the lessons you could’ve learned and continue on, destined to repeat them over and over again.

  Or you can make a change.

  War does many things to people. It can either bring them together, or tear them apart.

  Reedus has always been the brighter twin, a complete opposite to Severus in every way. Like ying and yang. But they were still family.

  What would happen when the First Wizarding War slowly tears apart the two brothers? Would Reed be able to see his mistakes and help pull his brother from the darkness? Or would Severus fully lose himself to it?
