Summary
Two characters negotiate terms in the wee hours of the night, never to meet again: a father still paying for a single, life-altering mistake, and an alienated teenage boy, on the verge of making his own. When Lyall Lupin makes a personal appeal on behalf of his son, Severus Snape wants more than gratitude in exchange for his silence.
A story about the conversation that—almost—redeemed them both.

Summary
It took real effort to say, That's not my story. To say, I am doing something more important. I cannot be distracted, and I cannot run away.
"It's about killing that bastard," whispered Hermione to the spruce trees. "Nothing else matters."
