In One Mind by Lianne

Summary:

Using their minds' contact, Voldemort has succeeded in trapping Harry in his mind (or they're both in Harry’s? Decide on your own). Harry is strongly depressed (possibly after Sirius’s death) and doesn’t have the will to fight Voldemort. With this state of things, it will take Voldemort only a few days –or even hours - to change Harry into his obeying slave, to destroy his mind completely or to manipulate him into becoming Voldemort’s loyal servant. Severus Snape must somehow persuade Voldemort to let him into their minds too, or get there by Legillimency (or any other way). There, he has to give Harry back the will to fight and live, he must go with him back to some of his memories, both good and bad ones, and help to heal Harry. He discovers the truth about Dursleys, see himself from Harry’s point of view in some potion’s class (or during another occasions) and finds out why Harry‘s friends like him and honour him. He must find a respect for Harry and show him that his friends care about him and that he isn’t quilty of all bad things that ever happened. Then, together, Harry and Snape can fight the battle against Voldemort. PS: Snape must be very careful or Voldemort will discover too soon what his intentions and he could try to kick him out of this

Bonus points:
1. You can play with other peoples‘ reactions to this whole matter. Where was Harry when his mind was trapped? At the Dursleys? At Hogwarts? At the Grimauld’s Place, at Weasley’s home or hidden somewhere else after he had escaped from his previous location? What will Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, Remus, McGonagall or Sirius (if you doesn’t kill him) think about this? How does Harry act during the trapping? Does he eat? Can he be seen as mentally unstable by the Ministry again?
2. The sharing of one mind requires also sharing of the memories. For every memory of Harry’s life that he is forced to see, he will see also one of Voldemort’s and later Snape’s. Voldemort can be using those memories to manipulate Harry even more, Snape – that’s up to you. If you feel to it, you can even do a bit of Voldemort-psychology, like why he’s a bad guy or if there is some hope for him. OR Voldemort’s memories doesn’t show up at all, but Snape has to share his with Harry for a reason (so Voldemort won’t kick him from the connection, to make Harry listen to him etc.)
3. Enjoy the mind land. Desribe it as you like it. Invent new laws that stand there.
4. How will Harry and Snape (and Voldemort) feel and act once the link is broken? Where was Snape during the process, next to Voldemort? What happens?
