If you would like any more ideas or criteria, or know of a fic that meets or comes close to meeting the above let me know. Good luck, and I hope a few people will attempt to tackle this. There are so few GOOD vampire fics, and even less Severitus-centered ones. [Report This] Summary: Canonically, Harry was an abused child. Rowling didn't go into it much because she would then have to actually deal with the issue rather than pushing it aside, but the fact remains--the Dursleys neglected and abused Harry. The question is--why in hell did nobody notice?
It's understandable, really, that Dumbledore either marginalized or ignored the abuse. The same with Mrs. Figg. It's an age thing. Child abuse wasn't recognized as a problem before the late seventies, which means to Dumbledore's Victorian mindset, it's "just discipline" and doesn't count. Mrs. Figg would have considered it none of her business. Again, it's the age in which she grew up. Mrs. Figg would have considered it a, "family issue" and thus, "private business". What is unforgivable is that none of his teachers seemed to notice his problems and none of the neighbors reported it, either. It would have been absolutely obvious to teachers just in comparison between Dudley and Harry! Just their wardrobes should have rung warning bells. By the 1980s, mandatory reporting laws were on the books, (at least in the US--I know they exist, but not the exact timeline for the UK laws. I'm doing a bit of assumption here) and Harry should have been taken away from the Dursleys. Considering that Dumbledore never checked up on him, except via Mrs. Figg, in the real world, just from the contrast between Dudley and Harry, Harry would have ended up in foster care. This is made even more true by the educational push there was about the issue during the era. So, my challenge is for a story in which someone, be it a teacher, a neighbor, etc, notice Harry's plight and do something about it. This can be before or after Hogwarts, but my only stipulation is that it can't be anyone from the Wizarding World. It's also your choice how Severus finds out and gets involved--except it can't be at Dumbledore's behest. It can go for pretty much any category for the relationship between Severus and Harry, but I'd like Severus to remember that above all, he was Lily's best friend since childhood. [Report This] Summary: Before becoming a Death Eater Spy, Severus has a night with Lily. He tells her he loves her, but when he doesn't return and is presumed dead by the Order, she turns to James to help raise Harry. When she dies, he doesn't find out until Harry's 8th birthday, from Petunia. Now all he has to do is tell his girlfriend of 5 years....
[Report This] Summary: Harry's situation at the Dursley's becomes unbearable. Dumbledore gathers a meeting to decide who should be Harry`s guardian. At least one character offers but he/she/they are discarded.
Finally Dumbeldore proposes two Slytherins for the job. One is Snape the other is Sinistra. Neither of them want the job, but neither do they want the other to have it. It's decided that Harry should have the last word in the matter. At the end of school year the child MUST DECIDE. The rest is up to you. Any book or no book at all. They can try to achieve their goal (to be the guardian) alone or in alliance with other characters... [Report This] Summary:
It's been months since the start of their Occlumency lessons together, yet much to Snape's disgust Harry seems unable to make the slightest bit of progress. Frustrated by what he believes to be sheer laziness on Harry’s part, Snape decides to “attack” Harry’s mind in order to show the boy what would likely happen should he fail to learn the skill. Yet, when he does, he is surprised to find nothing but the most irrelevant memories in the boy’s mind--a mind seemingly without a single bad memory. Knowing that such a mind does not exist, he decides to probe further… Maybe the boy is better at shielding his thoughts than the professor ever gave him credit for… Requirements:
Misc
[Report This] Summary: After the disastrous Occlumancy lesson where Harry views Snape's memories, Harry runs out and back to his dorm. Snape, still furious, lets him go only to become afraid that he hadn't made his point clear enough to Potter. Livid, Snape rushes to the Gryffindor dorms to catch up with Harry. Snape catches Harry right before he is going through the portal and threatens Harry about never telling anyone and to never speak of what he's seen and takes a step too close. Still confused by the memories he'd seen and not thinking, Harry pushes Snape to get away. Unfortunately, the push is hard, and Snape is sent stumbling backwards and begins a long, painful fall down the stone steps. Horrified, Harry rushes down the stairs to the professor, but Snape's unconscious. So Harry rushes Snape to the hospital wing. Despite having a few broken bones and some brusies, it looks like Snape is going to be okay, but when he wakes up, he doesn't remember anything; not his name, not his birthday, nothing. Guilt stricken, Harry decides that he should help out as best as he can considering he's the one that hurt Snape in the first place.
Mood: Overall more of a dark feeling to it, but with some light hearted moments. Rating: Any. Deal Breakers: I don't want any real romance in the fic. Maybe some hints, but not much, so no major snog fests. Bonus: Harry can convince Sirius to actually HELP rather than sneer and laugh about the situation. Put in some snippets of Lily or Lily and James would make a very happy Ivy. Overall: Just have some fun with the idea. A Snape with a blank slate should prove to be VERY interesting! [Report This] Summary: Lucius/Snape extra-marital (Lucius is married to Narcissa) .... Sevitus (Lily carried Snape & Lucius' son on Snape's request- known only to Snape, Lily and Potter). Lucius is truly a death-eater. Snape is Draco's godfather and Draco does love him.
Sirius is back from Azkaban and from some documents, has the misconception that Harry is Snape/Lily's son. In a fit of anger against Snape (Sirius still accepts Harry), he discloses all this to Harry. Complicated mess results where Lucius has no idea that Harry is his son with Snape, whom Lucius still loves. Snape is caught in between spying, painful memories of past vs. present (Harry is better off as a Potter, Malfoy is a DE, Draco may be pushed towards darkness even more if he gets to know of all this in bitterness, Narcissa is going to complicate matters even more, Harry wants to know the complete truth and is feeling particularly angry, Sirius does not really wish to give up Harry's custody, there is a war going on, etc.). [Report This] Summary: What if: (1) Sirius didn't hate Snape? (2) Sirius and Snape were half-brothers - sons of Dumbledore, and Snape never knew this? (3) Lily and James never died, but Lily married Snape?(4) Harry is Snape and Lily's son? (5) The Snapes come to know about Snape's paternity only when Harry was three, from a letter from Eileen Prince? How will Snape react to a new father and brother, and Harry to a new Grandad? How will the Marauders' reactions be?
