   Summary

   When a near-fatal attack drives Severus Snape to Harry Potter’s door, neither man expects the slow, fragile bond that forms in the months that follow. As the year unfolds, Snape becomes an unlikely fixture at Grimmauld Place but will he truly stay, or will Harry one day wake to find the older man gone once more?
