About me:

I love gen fics in general and I've gotten addicted to Snape and Harry's relationship according to fanfiction. I like them being forced to come to terms with each other and neither being happy about it. [Report This]

Comments: I love the Harry in this story, he's an absolute sweetheart and a clever little fella too.
Harry Potter is not a happy child. He carries a danger inside him that manifests itself soon after he arrives at Hogwarts, and it falls to his new Head of House, Severus Snape, to protect Harry, even from himself…

Comments: A rather sad, solemn tale. Luckily things get better.
"Perhaps a man with a prerogative to redeem himself in the memory of the mother would, in turn, give comfort to a child so justifiably desperate for it,” Dumbledore grinned at the other man’s unbidden expression of shock. “But when said like that, it hardly encompasses the depth of emotion I would expect when I see the person in question has cradled Harry Potter to sleep after a nightmare.” “I-I...” Severus scowled. “I was not cradling him.”

Comments: The most realistic possible scenario for this kind of story. Heartbreaking and kinda painful. Harry just needed help, and it takes Snape a long time to give it to him. It's very moving and just... sad.
One single choice leads Remus Lupin to visit the child of his fallen friends, where he sees firsthand the cruelty enacted by the boy’s relatives and makes a decision that changes not only the life of the young boy he’s always loved, but also the life of a broken young man who has been alone for far too long.

Comments: I'd like to see more of this one. Good start to an adoption fic.
What if Harry came across Slytherin’s monster before the diary incident… and asked it to help him deal with his least favorite teacher?

AU. Perhaps it was the whimper that broke through the boy's fear, the evidence that Severus was as human and broken as he.

Comments: I cried all over this one.
Before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, the faculty have a meeting and decide that Harry will need a mentor to help him adjust, keep him out of trouble, and make protecting him easier. They decide that this person should the Head of the House into which Harry is sorted, presumably Minerva McGonagall. But things, of course, don't turn out as planned, and Harry is harder to deal with than anyone expected. Nobody asked him if he wanted a mentor, after all...

NOTE: This story has a prologue. It is not necessary to the plot of the story, but if you wish to read it, it is called(predictably enough) 'Prologue to Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat'

Comments: VERY accurate abused child. SCARILY accurate, in fact. I love that contradiction between annoying, disobedient brat and frightened, traumatized child. Doesn't go so far as to make Harry irritating by carefully walking that line between cocky and genuinely funny. His inability to accept that his relatives don't want him is so realistic--I'm surprised this concept is rarely explored in fanfic because it happens all the time. It hurts so much to see him realize they'll never want him, and even more to see him reject those who do.
Take one Severus Snape, one baby Potter, and one insane Headmaster; simmer gently and stir well. Don't forget to duck! AU Oneshot. Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: "Duck!" and Headmaster Potter
