Twelve years after her horrific experience in her father's bookstore, Muggle Catherine Shepard returns home to start over. However, a visit from a tall, miserable stranger draws her into a world she never knew and changes her future forever. As the Dark Potions Master attempts to confront the woman he is forced to protect and a life as a double agent, his own worldview begins to change, and as he continues his plan to protect the world against the Dark Lord and begins to admit feelings for a certain pesky Muggle, Severus begins to wonder if he deserves a happy ending after all.
