Blood Is Thicker Than Water

It wasn’t Quirrell and the troll, or the diary and young Tom Riddle. It wasn’t Snape or Wormtail, or even Voldemort’s return. It certainly wasn’t Umbridge or Malfoy that finally did it.No. It was the death of Sirius Black. That was what finally broke Harry Potter, the chosen one, the boy who lived. Finding out about the prophecy and the wards around Privet Drive were the final straw.When a mute Harry Potter goes back to Hogwarts for his sixth year and encounters the new DADA professor, will that be enough to completely shatter what’s left of him completely? And if it is, will the care of a certain potions master be the thing that puts him back together?*Next update 4/14/25*

Blame tiktok. Seriously. Blame tiktok. Someone made a post using a filter and the song Silver Spoon by Erin LeCount and this was born. All i wanted to do was browse tiktok and eat dinner. I have no idea where i’m going with this.I’ll add tags as i write.I also don’t know yet what the uploading schedule will be since I just got the idea, wrote the chapter, and am now posting it. Once I have that figured out, I’ll make a note in the summary, but rest assured, an update will happen once a week.Feel free to yell at me in the comments for this one. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry (no, I’m not).
