Chapter One: An Introduction to Idiotic Expressions

Harry Potter, seventeen, abused and broken but determined not to show it, has been in the care system since he was ten, and about to age out in the next ten months. He needs all the help he can get, if only he would be willing to accept it.

Severus Snape, thirty-eight, is a social worker and is a little too obsessed with a romance series and is married to his work, despite what his co-workers want for him.

When Severus meets Harry and their worlds collide - literally - they are left wondering if all is as they thought it was, and if there is hope for a better tomorrow.
