Protector

Marcus prefers solitude.It protects him from getting attached. He can’t afford attachment, not when he is trying to syphon enough funds from the Flint vault to support himself when he cuts ties with his parents, and while fearing the Dark Lord returns. Attachment means death, and death means heartbreak and pain.Marcus keeps his solitude close around him.Until a wide-eyed, innocent angel flutters into his compartment aboard the Hogwarts Express.A muggle-raised saviour, with little knowledge of his heritage, returning to the world after ten years. Innocent, and so incredibly naïve. A lamb unknowingly entering into the wolves’ den.Something unfamiliar stirs in Marcus’ heart.The urge to save this angel. To keep him safe. To protect him.At one point, Marcus preferred solitude. But for the sake of his angel, he will open his heart and be the knight that protects his bonded to the very end.
