When Dumbledore sees the welts upon Harry Potter, he removes him from his relative's care at once. His guardian for the summer is none other than Severus Snape.

In fact, he is just what Harry had needed all along-a support. Warning: CP!

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.
