The Dursleys not only feared magic, they denied its existence. They denied their nephew the right to live; the right to express who he was. After a particular horrible night with Vernon, McGonagall has had enough of standing on the sidelines. Taking him to Hogwarts where he can be raised and loved, she never expected Severus to come into the picture. Of course, Snape didn’t either. Would the man Harry considered a friend—a man he confided in—let him down? Could he be capable of doing the unthinkable? AU.

They decide that this person should the Head of the House into which Harry is sorted, presumably Minerva McGonagall. But things, of course, don't turn out as planned, and Harry is harder to deal with than anyone expected. Nobody asked him if he wanted a mentor, after all... NOTE: This story has a prologue.
