Summary: A potions 'accident' that was caused by a Slytherin - doesn't matter which one or why - makes Harry lose all inhibitions. He does or says anything that pops into his head.

I would like for him to take off into the Muggle world and have Snape trying to find/contain him until the potion wears off.

Also, this challenge is NOT a crackfic challenge. It is for serious stories only. I really want to see the struggle taking place. Lots of angst would make this fangirl happy. ;) Other than those specifications, have fun inventing!

Summary:

Warning: Very manipulative and not exactly nice Snape challenge: For his own selfish reasons, Severus Snape pretends to be Harry Potter’s father.

Severus Snape, together with one or two similarly thinking Death Eaters, persuaded Voldemort that "Mudbloods" aren’t complete wastes of space. He pointed out that 'Magic is might, and might is magic' and that a very tiny percentage of the most powerful Muggleborns who passed some special tests could be allowed to become Death Esters and "breed." Lily Evans/Potter was chosen to be one of those potential Death Eaters.

The prophecy didn’t change that. But Severus really loved (or desired?) Lily and wished to ensure her security from both sides, in case she refused Voldemort’s offer. He went to Dumbledore etc., as his own man more than anything else – but his sympathies lied with Voldemort. Lily refused, died, Harry Potter survived, and nothing changed.

Several years later, Dumbledore is getting suspicious of Severus and monitors him very closely when in Hogwarts or in the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort then decides that maybe Snape is expendable. Severus secretly learns this, and immediately starts to make a scheme to save his own life; Running is no option (see Karkaroff). So being a genius Potions master, no slouch in magical rituals, and James’s very distant relative, he then learns about Harry’s "situation" with his relatives – and finds the perfect solution.

To pretend to be Harry Potter’s father.

Bonus points:

1. Severus saves Harry from the Dursleys when he is borderline crazy. Good position to drug him with some potions or mind manipulate him.
2. One of Harry’s friends (Ron?) finds or logically reveals the truth. He is shut up because of his "intolerance."

Not necessarily a very happy story all round.

Summary:

WIth Sirius(3rd year) and his mother back (from coma/time travel /from hiding/simply from the land of dead), Harry's childhood dream of a real family of his own is realized - only it's not quite the one he had always envisioned.His Mum is not exactly Molly Weasley or Petunia Dursley. His godfather, who does not quite get along with his mother, is more of a brother than a father and needs help dealing with the aftermaths of 111-yr long imprisonment ... and well, Snape who his mother is falling in love with?

Lily has her plate full with trying to get Sirius exonerated, trying to forge a relationship with her son,dealing with media and a war brewing on the horizon.

Add to all this, Severus Snape .... long lost friend, confidant, partner in crimes of stealing cookies and hatching plots against all that dared to threaten their monarchy over the realm of their childhood playground and riverside haven - deeply loved, oldest, best friend ever, who she could have depended on with her life ... and who had betrayed her. When she finds herself falling for this man - once again - against the wishes of her family, friends, enemy, diktats of politics - against the universe itself, it would seem .... what does she do?

And then, Snape - as much as he loves her, as much as he is repentant of the course he took in his youth, can he let go of his resentment of her choice for a husband, of her betrayal? Can he really betray those who have stood by him as his friends - the DEs - for better or for worse and accepted him as their own when she rejected him....

Can he and Harry let go of their mutual hatred to forge a family? And he has a role to play in the war that he can already see - a role which makes it impossible for him to indulge in love for a living woman or son, which make his relationship with the Light side's leading stalwarts an inconvenience to the side of Light... specially since Harry is revealed to be a horcrux.

Harry must grow up and so must Snape to work together, mutually towards a common goal. And just when things are looking impossible, along comes Lily to help them along.

A coming of age tale for Harry as he learns the meaning of redemption, forgiveness, responsibility, duty, acceptance and love.

P.S.:

• NO abuse (not even from Dursleys please)/self-mutilation/suicide themes
• Dumbledore - please do not paint him the scheming villain - I like him, the way he is.

Summary: An accident in Transfiguration leaves Harry with a set of cat ears and tail. Hilarity ensues.

Examples: feline instincts compel harry to: stalk, dislike hot things, greatly enjoy dairy products, pounce on people running in the halls, become flustered when his ears are petted, purr, play with string, and rub against things.
