Summary: Post-war. McGonagall is Headmistress. Snape survived and went back to being head of Slytherin and Potions professor. He also mellowed out a teeny tiny bit. The actual story is based on this prompt: "Because nothing says 'Happy Valentine's Day' better than Minerva 'pussy-cat' McGonagall trying to set you up with every unattached member of staff, including non-humans and ghosts, in a crisis of guilty conscience and self-recrimination. (Or she's just drunk.)"
A/N: sighing_selkie is the beta and she's wunderbar.

Rebirth
by demarafis

He awoke, stretching his wings and chirping out a short song of awareness from
his heavenward beak. Wings? Beak? What is this travesty? Why is the world
suddenly so dark, so cold, and so unwelcoming?

Flames started to sprout from the edges of his wings. He stood, shakily, and
tested them out. Yes, they would do. He swooped gracefully from the burning
shack. Following the gentle tug of warmth from his heart, he sought his Chosen
one.

Wild black head. Green eyes. Yes, the Boy Who Lived Again. His Master. His
redemption.

His name will be Eous, the Morning Star.
