Summary: In response to Jan_AQ's challenge "Summer School," Harry learns that he is going to be spending his summer in school because he did absolutely appalling on his finals during fourth-year. He's not happy about it, though, because it was supposed to be his first summer of not having to live with the Dursleys. However, at Hogwarts, they have a different approach to summer school than Muggles do. Summer school teachers cannot teach their own subject. What, oh, what will Snape teach, if not Potions? This story is part of the series,
Ties that Bind. The next story in the series is
Sword of Slytherin.

6. Flattery is a Fool's Folly by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 4] (1586 words)
So my students and I were reading Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and we had just got to the part where Decius tells Brutus that he'll flatter Caesar into going to the Senate. So this chapter is a result of an idea that struck me in the middle of me teaching my class. Enjoy. :)
7. Third Class Learning by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 5] (1637 words)
Harry actually learns something, and yes I know Snape is a bit out of character with his reaction to Harry's face. Enjoy. :)

18. Father-Son Moment by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 5] (2459 words)
I was in a rather good mood while writing this so I think my good mood passed onto Harry when he's talking to Snape. Hope you enjoy. :)
19. Breakfast Oddities by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 3] (2237 words)
Just some notes...since JKR never gave us that much info on Professor Vector, I took her to be the chatty witch that reveals all sorts of secrets unintentionally. She is Professor Sinistra's best friend, but probably not after this chapter. :D
Following my usual thinking, Sinistra and Vector are both in the Order, which Harry should learn about soon.
And I just had to include our favorite horrid pink witch. :) Okay, enough notes. Enjoy. :D
20. Typical Tuesday: Family Portrait, Letters, and Punishment Essay by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 2] (3262 words)
Happy Father's day to all the fathers out there. It seems as if I couldn't stop my muse of Harry from adding some of that into his essay. Enjoy. :D
21. Dad by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 2] (2010 words)
Sorry that I haven't updated for awhile. Enjoy.

I just felt like we needed to read the response with Harry. :) Enjoy.
23. Free Day by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 4] (4678 words)
Nice long chapter that stars Harry (of course), Sinistra, Snape, Malfoy, and Flint. Enjoy. :)
24. Poor Harry by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 3] (1606 words)
It's kind of a really silly chapter. Enjoy. :)
25. A Bit of a Shocker at Prince Manor by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 1] (4035 words)
Aurora's being a bit of a brat in this chapter. However, it's going to lead to some very serious and funny moments real soon. Enjoy. :D
26. Guys' Night by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 2] (3277 words)
Boys being boys for the majority of the chapter until you hit the end. Then it's serious because, well, it has Sirius in it. ;D Yes, I did just make that stupid joke. In any case, Snape and Sirius have a bonding moment. Enjoy. :D
27. Uniting Slytherin by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 6] (4872 words)
Hope you enjoy the chapter. :D
28. Not Your Typical Slytherin Mum by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 5] (2820 words)
Enjoy. :D
29. Fallen From Grace by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 4] (4441 words)
Contains a little bit of everything in it. The biggest part, though, I think I should warn you about is the violence with the Dursleys and that whole fiasco. Not quite so humorous as last time, so, sorry about that, but enjoy the quick update. :D
30. One Thing a Person Can Always Count On by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 5] (2418 words)
I answer some questions in here, but also lay a bit of a hint for something. :D Enjoy. :D
31. Fault Rests with Me by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 4] (1467 words)
A bit of a sad Harry chapter. Sorry. Enjoy, though. :D
32. We Have to Talk by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 6] (2871 words)
Okay, granted in our Muggle world this chapter is so not plausible. Possibly even in the Wizarding world, but I'm pretty sure no one's thought about something like this before. :D However, I blame my story "Potions and Stars" in writing this chapter and Harry bugging me nonstop about it. Enjoy. :D
33. Last Week of Classes by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 4] (3118 words)
This chapter has a bit of everything in it. Enjoy. :D
34. Resonating Echo from the Past by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 1] (3836 words)
So this chapter has a bit of everything in it. Humor, terror, mystery, romance, a very emotional Aurora, Fred and George, practically everything a person could ever want.
Warning: the ending of the chapter is not for the faint hearted. My muse got a bit dark on me, but it ends on a semi-positive note. Enjoy. :D
35. Getting Back to a Sense of Normalcy by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 3] (1528 words)
Rather short chapter, sorry. Enjoy. :D
36. Lessons Learned by Lady Lanera [Reviews - 7] (6487 words)
Sorry for it being so long. Enjoy. :D
