Severus Snape thought he had it all.

And then tragedy struck. His wife was dead, two of his son were dead and one was missing.

What he doesn't know is that two of them are alive. What happens when the two sons reunite?

    Interesting. Really good start. Can't wait for Harry to meet his brother.

    Good chapter. The punishment seemed appropriate to me. I've seen other writers give the Dursleys much worse than that. It's also appropriate that they made Dudley think his parents were killed in a car crash and his father was a drunk since that's what the Dursleys told Harry about James and Lily.

There is a strange creature loose in the castle. What could it be? Where did it come from? Snape, one of the few people seemingly immune to the creature, must find out before it kills his newly adopted son.

    Good start. If I had to guess the reference, I'd have to say its in the last sentence. "I'm a Potions Master, not a mind reader" sounds like Bones - I'm a doctor, not a.....whatever.

    Author's Response:

    Yep! You got it! 100 points!!!

    Thanks! I'm glad you're liking it so far. :D

    Good chabter, but the only creature I actually know the name of is the tribbles.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! And yep...tribbles are awesome. LOL

    "Resistance is futile" comes from the Borg, I believe. "My God, man" is said by Bones. And the counting (5 hours, 13 minutes, three calming draughts) sounds like something Data from TNG would say, or possibly Spock. Good chapter.

A disabled Harry comes to Hogwarts story. Everyone expects him to be like his dad, but how can he be with such a different past? A Slytherin Harry takes on Hogwarts in an unusual way.

    Interesting. Great concept. I really like Harry's personality; observant and more cynical with a dry sense of humor.

Voldemort is dead, and so are quite a few others. Harry's back at the Dursleys & depressed. A potion changes everything. Snape adopts Harry. Canon more or less up to the end of GoF, after that AU. The first in the Second Chance series.

    I like that you kinda switched the roles of Vernon and Petunia, with Petunia being the main abuser. I haven't seen it often and it's an interesting change.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  :)

    I really like the way you write Harry. He's perfectly child-like and soooo cute! I love his last line - "I really like being a student. I think I might be smart." Something about that makes me giggle and smiile.

    Author's Response: I enjoy writing him as a kid.  He's fun! :)

As far as Harry knew, it was all some sort of experiment that only Dumbledore could understand. He had no idea that the cat he had been given to keep him company instead of Hedwig over the holidays before his 3rd year, was in fact, his hated Potions Master in disguise.

Because of the Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black, Severus is sent to stay with Harry during the entire summer, never making a sound nor leaving the boy's side. He could not speak, nor could he defend Harry against anyone other than the criminal on the loose, however Severus does something that no other adult in Harry's life had done before...he listened.

    Great start. I love the concept and Snape makes a great cat. His personality is perfectly suited to it.

18 year old Severus Snape has just graduated from Hogwarts. When he finds a boy named Harry on his doorstep one night, what will happen to the two of them?

    Love it! Great start. The concept is really cool and I can't wait to find how exactly Harry ended up in the past.
