A certain event over the summer forces Harry to leave his relatives earlier than expected. As he struggles with the loss of Sirius and the knowledge of the prophecy, Harry starts off his sixth year with more on his plate than ever before. Surprisingly, he finds an anchor in none other than his least favourite Potions Professor. As these unlikely allies struggle to let go of the past, someone is out for revenge...

    And we're off. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

    The Southern Raiders are an interesting addition. I liked having Remus turn up, too. It was good for Harry to have someone to talk to.

    Death Eaters that close to Headquarters is a bad sign. They were lucky to get the kids in safely. Harry must be happy to have his friends there. Snape may be watching out for him but he isn't the most chatty company.

    I wonder what happened to Luna? Looking forward to finding out.

Response to the 'Physical Issue' challenge by Jan-AQ. There is a physical reason why Harry can never exit the floo without falling over, or knocking into something. A physical reason with a sinister past rooted in the very reason he is known as 'The-Boy-Who-Lived.'

    Interesting premise. It seems likely that Harry would have some damage from the original curse and that the connection to Voldy would add to the problems. I like your Harry and Snape. They seem very much in character. I also liked that when Harry realized he needed help, suddenly Snape was 'sir.'

    Author's Response: Glad you enjoy it! I've always liked the idea of Harry's scar causing more damage than just the superficial scar itself. Glad you like this rendition of Snape and think he's in character, I'm trying really hard to keep him that way!

Being sorted into Slytherin must have been a mistake. How could it have been anything else? Harry Potter MUST be a Gryffindor. He has to be! Why would the Sorting Hat put him anywhere else? It must me a mistake. Surely the Headmaster can fix this!

    I have read other stories where Harry is sorted into Slytherin but your story is unique. An abused Harry is common but not one quite this beaten down. Having the wizarding world so up in arms over it, is a new one. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter.

Today is Severus’ birthday. All the Potions Master wants is to relax and live out his days in peace.

    I'm glad that your Severus ended up happy and in a good place. He deserved it. His cottage sounds wonderful.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! :) I just can't believe that the youngest Potions Master would not have an anitdote for Nagini's venom. And I think with everything that he went through since he was a child, he deserved a happy ending. :) 

Snape wants to be Slytherin's new head of house. Harry wants a home. Dumbledore has a plan for these two. If Snape can prove he can take care of the 9 year old, the job is his. But taking care of a kid isn't as easy as it looks. As the young dark eyed Potions Professor tries to do his best, Harry learns what it means to have a good guardian, even if he isn't a perfect one.

    Poor Harry. Snape clearly has no idea how to shepherd a confused child. Of course, the Dursleys' letter didn't help matters.

Reviewer: bridgeportfox (Signed)
    That was an eye opener for Snape and Harry.

    Good advice from Carcroft. Harry isn't the only one learning new things this summer.
