Summary
After the war stole everything, his friends, his purpose, his place.
Remus Lupin learns what it means to be left behind. Haunted by the memory of betrayal, weighed down by guilt he never earned but still carries, he moves through the years like a ghost in his own skin. There are nightmares. There are full moons. There is silence.And then Sirius Black escapes.
But when he returns to Hogwarts at Albus’s request, and a boy with James's face and Lily’s eyes looks up at him with quiet trust, something stirs.
What follows is not forgiveness. Not at first. It’s fear. And fury. And the long, aching road of unlearning what pain taught him to believe.
This is the story of what it means to survive the war no one talks about.
