Following the death of Sirius, Harry isn't sure what to make of the sudden appearance of a six-year-old boy. The pair form a bond, unaware they're half-brothers, and Harry decides to take the boy to Hogwarts and hide him there. To aide the boy's education, Harry anonymously exchanges letters with Snape.

A story of a how a young boy becomes a father-figure to another while their own father is oblivious of their biological existence. But can sixteen-year-old Harry give what he himself has not gained? Can he go an entire year without being discovered? Just how far will Severus go to find the writer of those letters...Or are some things best left unknown?

    man, this is mean. ;) finally figure out who's who and what's what and you pull them apart anyway... if i wasn't so damn attacted to Snape now i'd give up.

    i love how you set up the whole paternity situation for Harry, even though the reasoning is a bit of a stretch. it's nice to see someone actually keep Harry at his chronological age and not revert back to Toby's. Harry's reaction to it and his personality changes are very spot on.

After Severus noticed Harry taking notes in his potions class, everything changed.

    "my little snake in the grass." it's so adorable!

Harry and Snape get caught up in an attempt at revenge, executed by a magically altered pack of werewolves with a vendetta against You Know Who.

    Author's Response: Haha, thanks for the review. Must have been curiosity, huh?

Harry Potter was dead, and the whole world mourned, particularly Severus Snape, at 5 am every morning. In response to the: Fix This Challenge by Nightshade sydneylover150.

    finally someone's tackled this! that line always bugged the hell out of me, i mean if Voldie lost his body for trying to kill Harry shouldn't something major have happened to Harry when Voldie got his body back?

    it's alittle obvious it came out of nowhere, but i love how you worked the phoenix aspect into it.

Because of a potion brewed by Dumbledore, Severus and Harry are trapped in their animagus forms with no memories. Severus, now called Shadow, adopts Harry, now called Viridian, as his own. What happens when Severus gets his memory back? Will he still care about his cub? This is set right before the end of Harry's first year at Hogwarts, although this is AU.

    great big AWWW! especially the start to this chapter, i can just see them curling up together.

    ideas... keep their panther personalities, their relationship, the way they interact even when they're human.... Harry switches back to Viridian whenever he's scared....

It's close to the start of the Harry's fifth year when he receives a mysterious letter on his fifteenth birthday. The contents, strange and confusing claims that his true parents were not Lily and James Potter.

This starts a series of events that reveals not only a fifteen year old guarded secret, but one that is much, much older. One that changes not only Harry's life forever, but Professor Snape's and Lucius Malfoy's as well. It's the start of something new where enemies become allies and allies enemies.

    oh man you just ripped my heart out! everybody's hurting so much... i don't know who to cry for. :'(

    don't tell me old Moldyshorts has figured it out? please, that's too much torment.

    i'm damn curious about Lucius's feelings about Saturn/Luna.

Snape has kept Lily’s many secrets for years. Having been forced to reveal one for Harry’s safety, the rest look soon to follow. And either Black has found a way to fly, turn invisible and tame dragons, or there is someone else after Harry’s blood too.

    awww!!!

On that fateful Halloween, Severus entered Godric's Hollow to find Voldemort dead and Lily and Harry missing. The mystery sent Sirius Black so insane that he spent the next three years searching for them. He found them. It was not a happy discovery.

Warning, begins with gothic horror but becomes a sweeter story as the chapters go on.

Reviewer: YnxNyx (Signed)
    i have to admit i'm amazed. the twist is kinda sick - pregnant inferi and all - but you've managed to work up a believable way to connect Severus and Sirius and loose alot of the animosity that was between them.

    i like what you've done with the parseltongue, changing the naming rules and such. it makes more sense since it was just the two boys, but then how did they learn to speak it anyway? some snakes from the forest taught them?

Every year it was the same, Severus Snape cleared his face of all emotion, apparated to Privet Drive and visited a little boy whose only desire in the entire world was to have someone that would love him. Halloween Fest Winner 2014

    omg, yank my heart out why don't you?
    i thought it was just a simple bonding fic until the candy corn... damn!

    that specific spot would be awesome in the pensieve; when the potions wearing off and his appearance changing back as he eats the candy...

    Author's Response: Hey! Thanks so much for taking time to leeve feedback, it means a lot to me! Yeah, the sequel will probably have a few different scenes that readers didn't get to see, (because this will have been the 5th year Snape has done this). I'm getting so excited about the sequel, it looks like it's going to be a long one! Hope you have a fantastic week, and thanks again!

During the end of Harry's fifth year, it's revealed that his parents weren't James and Lily Potter, and that his biological parent is Severus Snape. How did it happen, and what are they going to do now that they know?

    man, now i'm damn curious as to how it got out that Snape's his dad.

    you should use the whole 'thrice defied him' bit against Dumbledore, Snape didn't turn on Voldemort until after Harry was born. the prophecy doesn't fit because of that.

    Author's Response: Depending on how things happen in the story, it'll probably be a few chapters before they talk about how they figured out Snape's Harry's dad. As for the bit about the prophecy, I might have Snape turn that back on Dumbledore, depending on how far it goes. Since I'm writing it for the summer fic fest, most of it is going to take place during the summer between Harry's fifth and sixth year.
