Summary: What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

Story Notes:
Hi all,
The idea of blood quills and their uses and potential has been a morbid fascination with me since I first read about them in OotP and this particular bit of inspiration wouldn't leave me be 'til it had been written so write it I did. I aplogise in advance for the torturous (only for Harry) ideas that have spilled from my head into this story. Its not my fault Umbridge is... well, Umbridge! ^-^ the violence and torture goes only as far as in the classroom and what evil passive-aggressive things she can think of, don't worry. The self-harm also pertains to this in a round-about sense and you'll see what I mean. I'll give fair warning for anything that might come up in later chapters but for now its fairly tame. I think.
Severus and Harry's relationship will of course develop but I will endeavor to ease into it realistically and as such it won't happen for a few chapters. When it does... well, some of my biggest inspiration is from authors like Kristeh if that gives you any idea as to the levels of fluffiness I may well give in to. This fic is set from a few weeks/months into fifth year, before christmas.
Looking forward to sharing the journey of my first Sev and Harry fic with you all as well as the angst and h/c in between ^-^
have fun and happy reading x
PS(11/April/'10) - I gifted this by one of my most favouritest, wonderfullest, awesomest reviewers, Wrinkled Fabric after 13 chapters to do with as I like so, of course, I feel the need to flaunt it as it so clearly deserves ^-^ Thank you Fabs!!! With the help of wonderful people like her I give you, Antonomasia...

Wow, I really didnt expect such a positive reaction, thank you so much; it's made me all the more determined to do a good job with this so I don't let anyone down ^-^
I also apologise for any typos, I'll always edit and proofread to the best of my abilities and I'll only update if it's as close to perfect as I feel I can get it at the time. If there's anything you find I'm happy to fix it ^-^
Anyway, thanks for reading... enjoy ^-^

It begins...
6. Chapter 6 by sproutchild [Reviews - 25] (4155 words)
It gets worse. Descriptions in this chapter are suitably graphic given the situation; if you think blood is icky you may want to rethink reading this one... or skip to the end of the chapter at least. If not, enjoy ^^
*hands out more Snape plushies to anyone I missed in reviews*... cuddle these as the need arises ^-^
7. Chapter 7 by sproutchild [Reviews - 12] (4683 words)

10. Chapter 10 by sproutchild [Reviews - 25] (2899 words)

The promised quick update with some Snapey goodness and our ghost star, thanks for the awesome guesses btw! Some gave me ideas so go you!!! ^^
13. Chapter 13 by sproutchild [Reviews - 45] (4454 words)
Here it is, the chapter you’ve been waiting for ^-^ - 13’s always been quite lucky for me... thought I’d spread the joy ^-^ Oh, but be warned, the ‘enjoyment’ may not start for you until half way through this one – Umbridge does the last of her damage until the second break line, I tried to tone it down though ^^. Endless white and our turning point ahead, deep breath now ^-^
14. Chapter 14 by sproutchild [Reviews - 34] (3260 words)
Been awhile but I’m back and I brought some of that comfort I promised...? Anyone interested? This one is most definitely for the people who didn’t give up on an update even when it appeared as though I had (which, of course, will never happen ^^), some reviewing two or three times to ask if I was okay *muffins for you beautiful people* ^^ and this is also particularly for Wrinkled Fabric because of her sheer awesomeness and how, because of her skill and said sheer awesomeness, this fic now has a banner! (which I non-stop squealed over for days and days and days ^^) – check it out in the story notes (where only a link is posted because photobucket hates me... any help would be welcomed with more muffins!)
As such, the first part of this chapter was written with her in mind; thanks so, SO much Fabs!!!
15. Chapter 15 by sproutchild [Reviews - 50] (4552 words)
Hello...? I’ll try to never leave it for so long again. And hey, on holidays now for a little while so I can write lots and lots! (Which is the reason it’s three in the morning right now and I’m updating anyway damn it!)
And thank you (thank you, thank you, thank you!) to everyone who voted for Antonomasia to be featured; I was so ecstatic and thrilled and giggly to see it up there with some of my favourite fics ever, I feel like I’ve won some kind of completely undeserved prize to have so many wonderful readers so thank you!!!!!!! Umm, it might help to reread some of this fic... it really has been awhile since I updated huh TT ... hello?
16. Chapter 16 by sproutchild [Reviews - 23] (4194 words)
Hello! *runs away from ninja-y fangirls* - 50 reviews! 50!!!! I was dazed and giggly and so very silly... and then I get 50! Hehe.... and I get the feeling I’m a little bit late?
Onwards and check out the end notes to bid a fond farewell to sanity (and patience)...
