To Touch What’s Forbidden (гет)

In the quiet aftermath of war, Hogwarts lies scarred but slowly healing. Amidst the rubble of broken dreams and buried truths, Severus Snape is pulled from the edge of death—not by a Healer’s spell, but by the tears of a phoenix. Fawkes, in one last act of loyalty, saves the man even Dumbledore knew he had wronged.
With the Dark Lord vanquished and the world hungry for justice, Harriet Potter—now a war-hardened eighteen-year-old—takes the stand. Her voice, fierce and unwavering, joins with Snape's memories, student testimonies, and a final, time-delayed letter from Albus Dumbledore, revealing the truth of Severus Snape’s sacrifices and unwavering allegiance.
But it is not the war that binds Harriet and Severus. It is what comes after.
Haunted by the revelation of Snape’s enduring love for her mother, Harriet finds herself drawn to the man who loved Lily with such violent, aching devotion. A man so wrecked by grief and guilt that he cannot imagine being loved in return.
Can love bloom in the ruins of war? Can Harriet teach Severus that he is worthy of more than Lily’s ghost? Or will the weight of the past doom them before they ever begin?
