atonement (гет)

In the quiet months after the war, you return to Hogwarts with no title or role, just a need to mend what was broken. Amid rubble, greenhouses, and the slow work of repair, you find yourself beside Severus Snape, who survived but is far from whole. Between silence, soil, and small gestures, something fragile begins to take root: not redemption, not absolution, but the first hesitant shape of belonging.
