Potions and Snitches :: Snape and Harry Gen Fanfiction Archive

Summary: What if Snape took Neville as his ward/child sometime before Hogwarts age?

They go through the typical bonding stage that we usually see with Harry&Snape in Severitus.

Once Harry comes to Hogwarts he befriends Neville, who is bullied because he is a teacher's son/ward.

Neville and Harry get close to each other, Snape sees him often and gets to know him. Snape realizes that Harry is abused (emotional, physical, sexual - all of it? You choose - go down the dark path, if you want, but make it realistic) and offers to take him until his situation is resolved.

Harry wishes to stay with Snape and Neville - but will it happen?

Suggestions/Bonus:

Neville does not have to be in Gryffindor, maybe he is even sorted into Slytherin to please Snape? Personally I think Hufflepuff would suit him well.

You can make it so that Neville's gran dies and Snape was friends with the Longbottoms or Neville's godfather. Or find any other way to get her out of the picture. Don't make her abuse Neville in any way! Neglect (non-intentional) would be passable though

Snape must have been a small part of Neville's life before he takes him (maybe his tutor?) and must have been the one to realize his gran is unfit to care for him if you don't kill her

Neville's Great Uncle Algy is deemed unfit to care for Neville (alcoholic, poor, ill, unsettled? You choose)

Neville must have been of an age, when he was taken in, that he still remembers his gran and great uncle

Neville and Snape are not yet 100% comfortable with each other, even though they are a family

When Snape decides to take Harry in temporarily, Neville must be worrying about loosing Snape and if Harry stays permanently, he must show signs of jealousy

Snape must deal with two very different children with very different backgrounds, so make him struggle!

all pairings allowed, but please don't make this story revolve around romance - the main part should be Sev's relationship with the boys

you can make Harry Snape's biological son if you wish, it is not mandatory
