Summary
Haunted by the ghost of a former student, an ex-wizard struggles to preserve magical knowledge for future generations.
When Harry Potter died, twin wands' explosion wiped Europe clean of magic. Enchantment-free, Gringotts crumbled into a mass grave for goblin bodies. Pixie corpses covered the meadows. Romanians buried their last dragon.
Wizards remained. Thousands flooded Muggle streets with useless chanting, unable to return home through non-existent wards.
They had nothing except pride. Remember that when watching a middle-aged, redheaded waitress and her daughter taunted by children for their strange way of talking, passing the sallow-faced, somber neighbour who prefers candles to electricity, finding a sky-blue twinkle under matted hair of a homeless man.
Pride was the reason they survived.

Summary
Some have argued that the daily drudgery of being a Muggle is too much to bear.[10] This year I learned the opposite is true: they can and do entertain themselves in some interesting, if (delightfully) odd, ways.
[10] See for example Chapter 3 of Cygnus Black's No Magic, No Meaning: Our Moral Obligation to Put Muggles Out of their Misery.

Notes
After the Order lose the final battle at Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall goes into hiding, getting a job as a physics tutor. She has seen too many people die to have much hope for her lover, who is MIA.
The fic alternates between past and present, filling in Minerva's backstory quietly while she tries to get used to a lonely existence in the Muggle world. Then people from her past begin to show up, gradually, and it becomes clear that this situation is temporary for all involved. It's a good, slow-building fic, and I really like reading the Muggle perspective on this bizarre, terse woman who can tutor physics students but isn't familiar with copiers and computers.
