Potions and Snitches :: Snape and Harry Gen Fanfiction Archive

Summary: Harry has to sit at Slytherin table for some reason, and while he's there he discovers some interesting things. Things like the fact that Draco is actually kind of funny, the Slytherins have some kind of secret that Harry is determined to find out about, and Snape is starting to not seem that bad. The Slytherins really look up to Snape and Harry is starting to see why.

Why does Harry have to sit at Slytherin for meals? How long does he have to be there? Who or what is making him do this? All up to you!

Take note: Harry is NOT in Slytherin. He has not been re-sorted and does not have to sleep in Slytherin.

I could easily see Harry somehow finding out that Snape is his father because of whatever secret the Slytherins are hiding. I could also see Harry just really looking up to Snape and Snape becoming his mentor.

This should not be a drabble. It should be a full one shot (4-5 pages or longer), or a multi-chapter story.

Some ideas to get you going:
- Snape is Harry's father, guardian, or godfather and is angry that he is that relationship to Harry (they just found out) and is punishing Harry (even though it's not his fault) by making him sit at Slytherin.
- Harry has somehow become Snape's apprentice while still in school, and Snape is determined to make Harry miserable by making him sit at Slytherin table.
- Harry is being punished for some wrong doing.
- Snape is the Headmaster (or temporary Headmaster) and thinks he is taking revenge on Harry by making him sit with Slytherin, but instead Harry rather likes it at Slytherin table because it's different than what he's used to.
- Because Harry is sitting at Slytherin, Snape observes him closely and discovers some things about Harry's health.
- Harry is there at Slytherin, but the Slytherins are totally ignoring him, which suits Harry fine because he feels like a fly on the wall and gets to observe them without interacting.
- Harry is there at Slytherin, and they are being pretty nasty to him. Does he retaliate or just sit there and take it? What does Snape think about it or do about it?
