Summary: Hogwarts offers summer school to select students who fall behind. Is it at Hogwarts? Who teaches what, and how do they decide which students need the extra help? Do Houses still exist? Alternatively, maybe students who do amazingly well are allowed to attend as well... maybe as tutors, or to explore their favorite subject more in depth.

Summary: Soon after he arrives back at school for fifth or sixth year, Harry has an accident somehow transports him into our world in the current year in Muggle America. And who should have tagged along but his least two favorite people - Snape and Draco? As if that's not enough, it turns out that this world is actually an alternate reality from their own, one in which the Harry Potter story is a series of books that have revolutionized our world and culture. While trying to find a way home, they learn to each reconcile with each other and come to realize that their perspective on each was skewed. Bonding occurs - fatherly/brotherly or otherwise. Throughout it all, they must try to keep low profiles and survive in a world that can instantly recognize them as story-book characters. For if that little fact leaks out, mass chaos would ensue. In this world, they are recognized by a young girl/boy around Harry and Draco's age (OC) who ends up befriending them and helping them throughout their journey. Please try to make reactions of all characters and especially the OC as realistic as possible. (i.e. if you literally ran into your favorite story-book character on the street, what would you really do?) Ideas: - Angst, drama, humor, hurt/comfort
- Girl is in school (high school or uni)
- Harry has unresolved issues with Cedric's and Sirius' deaths, which are confronted
- Draco has unresolved home life issues that are confronted
- Scenes with loads of humor. Use your imagination - it's a perfect setting. ;)
- Harry and Draco attend public Muggle school with the girl, and Snape gets a job of some sort - most likely a teaching position (substitute or long-term)
- They are trapped in this world for quite some time. Long enough to experience some of our major holidays, at least.
- Harry has nightmares
- Harry has unresolved Dursley issues which are confronted
- OC understands the Snape/Harry and Harry/Draco discord and works to try and fix it
- OC has no problem sharing her opinions with Snape, especially when s/he butts heads with him. This happening somewhat often, and rather loudly too would be awesome! :D

Summary: Harry is shrunk, literally. Think Thumbelina or Tom Thumb. How did it happen? Doesn't matter as long as Snape keeps him. Extra points if you work in references of Tom Thumb's mischievous, accident-prone adventures.

Summary: One late evening, while returning home from a visit to Muggle London via the Underground, Severus comes across an injured and half asleep Harry Potter. When asked about his choice in lodging, Harry retorts with how he is unable to return home, but needed a place to stay far away from both his tormentors and the Magical World.
Unwilling to leave the boy be, Severus reluctantly offers Harry a place to stay the night (and just the night) so long as the boy promises not to flirt with unnecessary danger so easily. On the way, Harry begins to describe his fascination with trains and how he believes his life is like one: unable to leave preordained tracks, without it ending his own destruction.
Severus tries to tell him that because he is young and because everyone had sacrificed so much for him, not -everything- is set in stone... unlike for some other people.

Summary: Somehow include the phrase "Use the Force, Luke," in your story. Extra double brownie points if it's Snape saying it to Harry.
Some Ideas:
- Harry's like "whaat"
- Snape is like "Potter, you make no sense,"
- Harry blinks and then Snape goes "Luke I am your father," and then Harry goes "...my name isn't Luke."
OR SOMETHING SIMILAR.

Summary: It's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, so why are Snape and Harry so unhappy?

Summary: When Severus Snape hears Trelawny's prophecy, he realizes that Lily Potter's life is in danger. The only way to protect her is to steal her child... Does he succeed? What will he do once he has the child?

Summary: Harry's sorted into Slytherin and befriends Draco in his first year. Role reversal for Draco when Draco and Harry get bullied by Crabbe and Goyle. Crabbe and Goyle are enticed to torture the boys because of some reason from their parents. Draco's never gotten along with them and him befriending the archenemy of their parents doesn't help much either. Harry and Draco think that Snape is a true Death Eater and will never take their side. They wait too long to confide in him. When something bad happens to them Snape reveals he's not as bad as they think!
Would like Malfoy's family to be either non-existent or neutral in the war.
