Potions and Snitches :: Snape and Harry Gen Fanfiction Archive

Summary: Takes place in summer. Harry was still a month shy from turning twelve. He made an accidental magic, causing his inner wish for a companion. Someone he could trust and look after. He never expect it to come true, especially not in the form of a terrified nine years old child who goes by the name Severus.

Story must have:

1.) Weasleys never rescued Harry from the Dursleys.
2.) Dobby incident still happened.
3.) For some reason, Harry cannot contact the Headmaster or anyone for help during the summers. Yes, summers - as in plural.
4.) Harry must show distrust in the Headmaster over the years but it must be gradual.
5.) Harry and the younger Severus made a brother pact. One which Harry sworn to look after and protect his younger brother from any danger, including his own muggle relatives (Dursleys).
6.) For some reason, Severus reappears as a couple years older each summer. Ex. Harry is nearly 12 yrs old when meeting younger Severus who's 9 yrs old. Next summer, Harry will be 12 going on 13, but Severus will be 11 (just finished his First Year). 3rd summer, Harry will be 14, but Severus will be 13. ((Bonus if you include Severus' issues with the Marauders and Harry offers help with his troubles.)) 4th summer, Harry will be 15, but Severus is 16. ((Bonus++ if you include Severus' Dark Mark.)) 5th summer will be the last summer Severus shows up (as 18 in his last year at Hogwarts).
7.) Harry must be protective of Severus (even if they do not see eye to eye on some issues.)
8.) Professor Snape does is cold and snarky to him as usual, leading Harry to believe that he doesn't recall his summers with him ((Snape's reasoning for behaving this way is entirely up to you. However, their confrontation concerning their summers together MUST be saved until the end of story where the young Severus stops appearing in the other summers.))
9.) Dursleys must be seen as 'the worst sort of muggles.' I'll leave that interpretation to you. But Severus must bear witness their actions on Harry at one point or another.
10.) Harry keeps Severus a secret from the Dursleys using the aid of his father's invisibility cloak. And willing starves himself by offering his scraps of food 'generously given by his relatives' to Severus and Hedwig.
