What happens when young Harry flees from his uncle's house to escape the abuse and neglect?

Simple he runs.... he's found... but of course who finds our little boy, none other than Snape. Will the cold hearted man give in and take the child with him or try to return him to his relatives. Only time will tell.

And wait, what if he does keep Harry, will things be rocky, or will Snape manage to look past the fact this child is the offspring of his most hated class mate, James Potter. With a little time and patience there may be hope for Harry after all.

Literature professor Severus Snape has always considered Harry Potter to be a problem student. “Just like his father” he always thought. That opinion changes when Snape is saddled with overseeing Harry’s “rehabilitation” after a botched suicide attempt. The two begin a strange journey towards something not unlike friendship with the help of poetry, which they both share a love for.

When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.
