Summary:

WIth Sirius(3rd year) and his mother back (from coma/time travel /from hiding/simply from the land of dead), Harry's childhood dream of a real family of his own is realized - only it's not quite the one he had always envisioned.His Mum is not exactly Molly Weasley or Petunia Dursley. His godfather, who does not quite get along with his mother, is more of a brother than a father and needs help dealing with the aftermaths of 111-yr long imprisonment ... and well, Snape who his mother is falling in love with?

Lily has her plate full with trying to get Sirius exonerated, trying to forge a relationship with her son,dealing with media and a war brewing on the horizon.

Add to all this, Severus Snape .... long lost friend, confidant, partner in crimes of stealing cookies and hatching plots against all that dared to threaten their monarchy over the realm of their childhood playground and riverside haven - deeply loved, oldest, best friend ever, who she could have depended on with her life ... and who had betrayed her. When she finds herself falling for this man - once again - against the wishes of her family, friends, enemy, diktats of politics - against the universe itself, it would seem .... what does she do?

And then, Snape - as much as he loves her, as much as he is repentant of the course he took in his youth, can he let go of his resentment of her choice for a husband, of her betrayal? Can he really betray those who have stood by him as his friends - the DEs - for better or for worse and accepted him as their own when she rejected him....

Can he and Harry let go of their mutual hatred to forge a family? And he has a role to play in the war that he can already see - a role which makes it impossible for him to indulge in love for a living woman or son, which make his relationship with the Light side's leading stalwarts an inconvenience to the side of Light... specially since Harry is revealed to be a horcrux.

Harry must grow up and so must Snape to work together, mutually towards a common goal. And just when things are looking impossible, along comes Lily to help them along.

A coming of age tale for Harry as he learns the meaning of redemption, forgiveness, responsibility, duty, acceptance and love.

P.S.:

• NO abuse (not even from Dursleys please)/self-mutilation/suicide themes
• Dumbledore - please do not paint him the scheming villain - I like him, the way he is.

Summary: Post War fic. Voldemort has been defeated. While working for this, Harry got emotionally attached to Snape, as Snape along with Dumbledore mentored Harry and helped him defeat Voldemort.

Severus Snape has always wanted, loved two things in life the most: Lily and power. Now that Lily is avenged he pursues power. He is getting almost as powerful as Voldemort, and in time might even become as powerful as Dumbledore. Power is hard work + magical strength + knowledge + intellect according to me, so Snape is getting there, but right now lacks in knowledge and experience.

Snape becomes the new Dark Lord (perhaps he is just touted as the new Dark Lord by the media/people who have always considered him to be dark, or maybe he is against the way Wizarding world worked and is trying to bring a revolution - no racist basis, please - or maybe he truly HAS become the next Dark Lord).

Harry has to lead the war against him now with help from his friends, and little help from Dumbledore, who has gone into retirement out of disappointment over Severus' choices.

Summary: This is actually another version of "Along Came Lily" :

* Somehow, Lily is back

* Sirius gets exonerated

* Harry is trying to get Sirius and Lily together, very hard.

* Sirius is trying to get together with someone else and Lily and Snape are trying to get together - which Harry is trying to sabotage

* Sort of like, parent trap gone astray

Summary: Latest in the row of DADA teachers is this lovely lady whom Ron develops a crush on. Malfoy and the other Slytherins appear to know her pretty well and act really familiar with her. Ron tries to find out as much as possible about her with help from Harry and Hermione, only to be told by Pansy that the new DA teacher is Snape's longtime girlfriend.

Harry's good at DA and the new teacher likes Harry (he's one of her best students). Eventually War breaks out between Snape and his girlfriend - Points war: she awards Harry as many points as Snape deducts. They come to brink of break up when Harry intervenes - why is it that he messes up everything that he touches when around Snape? He is going to help them. Ron is hoping for the break-up and Hermione is helping Harry prevent it in jealousy over Ron. The rest of the school is having fun.

Summary: Snape or Harry gets a pet which takes an instant liking to and therefore bonds to the other as well (understanding that the other is its master's protector/charge). The pet bonds with both of them and could understand what they say (like Hedwig understands Harry) and they could understand what the pet thinks/means/gestures (roughly).
