One wrong word and a murderer is born. Sealed away through seven generations, the fire of dragons awakens an inheritance and brings forth a tribrid in a frightened teen sentenced to death. Not just a tribrid, rare as it is, but a tribrid of two class 4 creatures and one class 5 creature, making him a danger to society, a danger that must be restrained for the good of the people. From this inheritance an ancient bond forms between the newly registered creature and a professor...a ministry worker...a curse that affects not only the creature but their descendants for eternity as well. Enter into a darker world of slavery as a boy once known as the savior finds truths that shatter his very existence, a world hidden beneath the earth and within the shadows were no light can be found. The mentor guides the shattered light into a destiny he is unprepared for while a bitter soul remains trapped in darkness though free unlike the chained being. Yet circumstances change the bitter soul and open his eyes to a world he heard mere tales about in youth...where redemption is nowhere to be found.

Someone has to pick up the pieces of Harry's broken soul. Severus just never expected to be the one to do it.

OR

The one where Harry actually has a friend growing up, and suddenly being a wizard doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

When Harry runs away from Privet Drive after blowing up Aunt Marge, he makes his way to the Leaky Cauldron only to meet Professor Dumbledore there. Instead of being allowed to stay in the Leaky Cauldron on his own, Dumbledore has him stay with a man who owes him a favour...
The strangest thing about living with Severus Snape is not that Snape doesn't consume people's hearts for breakfast but rather that he decides Potter ought to be old enough not to need constant supervision and treats him (mostly) accordingly.

Remus kidnaps 10 year old Harry when Albus refuses to remove him from the Dursley’s abuse. Severus is sent to find them and bring Potter back and he's not happy about being used like Dumbledore's personal servant. A Snape mentors Harry fic with a lot of Remus, Weasley and Draco involvement. No slash in the story. No relationship between Severus and Remus. Note: Dumbledore isn't evil in this story, but he is not trusted by the main characters involved because of the decisions he’s made.
