    Summary

    "That was how they met. Severus on the floor, clutching Lily’s body; Harry in the crib, clutching at the bars — the both of them sobbing.

    He’d been a coward. He’d been lazy. He hadn’t wanted to do the dirty work.

    Not this time.

    He wouldn’t shrink from the truth now. He looked down at Harry, the last remnant of his best friend, and made a quiet vow.

    If the Order could not protect Harry then Severus would. If Harry was in Danger then Severus would keep him from harm.

    He could not trust anyone with this task."

    Unable to believe that Dumbledore can protect Harry, Severus steals him away, leaving the Wizarding world without their Boy-Who-Lived, the Order without their spy, and himself with the immense task of raising a child he wasn’t prepared for.
