Harry Potter: The Silent Land

[Harry Potter Fanfiction · Severus Snape-Centric] [Happy Ending, Measured Prose. Though the road is rough, all ends well. Overflowing with sweetness, so read without worry!] (Two male leads: an original male character and Severus Snape) From a determined approach in the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Mysteries corridor to a world of distance beneath the stark lights of the Tenth Courtroom.

At 26, he is composed and restrained, yet dares to risk everything for him. At 36, he holds power and status, yet can only gaze at him from afar.

In their youth, he would stop at nothing to keep him by his side.

In middle age, he gives everything just to see him leave safely.

From the shadowy corridors of the Ministry of Magic to the perpetually cold dungeons of Hogwarts.

He crushes all his love into silent restraint, yet time and again breaks the order and boundaries he has upheld for half his life, all to protect the one who lives in darkness and misunderstanding.

Some deep affections have no way home from the very beginning.

All he can do is look at him one more time before fate swallows everything.
