Slytherin!
[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make. Harry wishes he could just be a thirteen year old boy, and begins to wonder if he’ll ever have the childhood he desires the most. Some of the warnings listed just as a precaution for things mentioned or alluded to.

- This story has been amazing. I read it a long time ago, and never thought it'd be updated. Now I'm back, with an account, and there are new chapters coming. This story is so refreshingly original, but with people in character. Snape hasn't gone completely soft, the Weasleys are being themselves, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Author's Response: You just made me grin from ear to ear :p Hoping to finish it up very soon so I can put out more new stories!

- Wowie. This is really beautiful. I'm going to miss this story so much. It's been an amazing ride.
PS, very open to a sequel if the inspiration strikes ;)
Author's Response: Already planning one! If you wanna help it move along faster, find me in the group Discord and PM me to let me know things you'd like to see in a sequel.
But the Slytherins didn't treat him like a freak. They didn’t make him do their cooking or cleaning because the house-elves did all that. They didn’t smack him around if he didn’t do their homework for them because they didn’t ask him to do their homework. Harry wondered if maybe he was settling into the Slytherins too fast, but he dismissed the thought with a smile. For the first time in a really long time, Harry realized, he was happy.

No one had been shocked when Harry Potter- boy-who-lived, savior of the wizarding world - was sorted into Slytherin house more than Severus Snape. And no one, bar maybe the boy himself, had been more enraged when Harry Potter was taken out of the dungeons and placed high in Gryffindor tower than Severus Snape, either. Which meant that it would be up to one Severus Snape to bring his snake back to where he belonged, Dumbledore's plan be damned.

- Dumbledore can be a real fool sometimes.
This is going wonderfully imo. I love books with hurt/comfort, angst, etc. This is hitting all the right notes for me. I'm so glad Harry found that Slytherin is the place for him.
Harry met Holly when she was two - abandoned in the park by her mother. Unable to leave her alone, he stayed behind to keep her safe. Over the years, they became as inseparable as brother and sister.
When Harry found out he was a wizard, he was happy to find that Holly was a witch too, and one day, she would enter his new world with him.
Finding out he was a father to a nine-year-old girl, Severus Snape didn't hesitate to bring her home. His daughter belonged by his side, after all. Finding his daughter preferred Harry Potter over him was a travesty the Potions Master was not going to tolerate.
Somehow, Severus had to make his daughter see Harry Potter as he did - worthless, useless, hopeless.

- I absolutely love this so far. I care for Holly so much, and I can't wait to read about the shenanigans at Hogwarts!
Good luck with the writings!

- I'm really liking this so far! Half terrified of Snape's reaction when he finds out about Holly. Things are going to go up in flames for sure!
