the Grey owl
Slytherin!
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.
Takes Place: 6th summer

- This chapter is so great! I mean, they ALL are, but I think Snape being so mean to Harry because he "should have been his son" makes so much sense, even though Snape was so twisted to act so.

- Always love this story so much! Also looking forward to a sequel whenever possible. :)
It's a One Shot that takes Harry and Snape's first Occlumency lesson in another direction.

- Whoa! That was hard!
Voldemort's forces are growing stronger and more organized. Despite warnings of this by the Order's spy, Harry Potter is captured. When he's rescued, will Snape be able to prove that he is useful as more than just a spy to the Order?

- Awesome chapter!
Are you using British or American terms? Because I'm trying to picture Snape fighting in his "pants" and am not sure if you mean trousers or underwear! The visual is... alarming! Lol
