Sleepless Ride by InsominasDaughter

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.
