Hogwarts will never be the same after the mass destruction of May 2,1998. Lives have been lost and trauma has been imbedded in many's minds. The castle went under reconstruction over the summer and students will be returning, not to learn but to rehabilitate.

Death eaters have been thrown into Azkaban left and right along with many being executed. Few are being left on probation, like the students who also happened to be death eaters. The thing that keeps them out of Azkaban is going to therapy at least twice a week, more if needed and writing in a journal.

The school has been divided, even after war. It's the Slytherin house against pretty much all humanity is what it feels like.

What makes this story so interesting is a slow burning love story between him, himself Harry Potter and Cordelia Burke. What makes it slow burning is Cordelia is an ex-death eater and is currently tangled in an arranged marriage with the Draco Malfoy.

I give credits to Onyx_and_Elms story "Battle scars/ breath mints." for lots of the plots ideas.
