Summary
Harry's life is his work. And through years of working long, exhausting hours in child and family services, Harry's developed some guidelines for himself when it comes to taking children into his home. One, he'll only do it in emergency situations. And two, he won't take them long term.
While he has no official policy on his romantic relationships, they never seem to last very long either, no matter how much he might dream of finding love.
But when eleven-year-old Ben Healy comes blasting his way into Harry's world, his predictable, somewhat lonely life gets turned upside down. Harry can't help but draw parallels between himself and the Muggleborn orphan, and despite his best efforts, he grows attached. Taking on the responsibility of caring for a child is a terrifying prospect, though, and Harry's not sure he's up to the challenge.
Meanwhile, questions arise concerning Ben's mysterious parentage. Is it possible he's not Muggleborn after all? And why is his hair that particular shade of blond?
And why is it so bloody easy for Harry to fall into his old, obsessive habits when it comes to Draco Malfoy?
