    Summary

    At twenty-seven, Harry Potter quits being the Ministry’s favorite symbol of progress. He’s tired of the speeches, the scars, and the endless illusion that the world he bled for ever truly changed. When he walks away, he expects nothing—except maybe a little post-quitting clarity.

    He certainly doesn’t expect to find Draco Malfoy half-dead in a London alley, nor the small boy clinging to him with a magic made of lullabies and love.

    What begins as the lingering duty of The Savior becomes something far more difficult: healing.
    Not just of flesh, but of fading magic, of grief that never left, of a world too proud to change—and of the quiet, fractured spaces in between, where love hides, and waits, and endures.
