Summary: Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry -GoF pg 342.
Harry never expected to be adopted—especially not by Snape. Harry hates his new father, and the feeling is mutual. But to the outside world, they have to pretend otherwise, or Harry could end up in very deep trouble. Is anyone that good at acting?
~In memory of one of the greatest actors of our time~

Story Notes:
~In fond memory of Alan Rickman, one of the greatest actors of our time~
I wasn't intending to post this story yet, since it's far from finished, but after the sad news yesterday I wanted to do something to commemorate the wonderful actor who brought our favourite character to life so perfectly. This story seemed perfect. I cannot guarantee fast updates but I feel it was appropriate to start posting this now.
I don't have a firm plan for this story, so rating, warnings, characters etc may be altered as plot progresses.
Post-GoF. Includes a lot of OotP, but not the complete timeline, and nothing from HBP or DH. Snape’s background is not canonical.
