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.

    I am loving this story quite a bit! I have just started my second reread after coming up to current two weeks ago.

    I have an error to point out though! You repeated a paragraph. It begins:

    Snape winced as though he’d suffered a physical pain, and his face whitened beyond his usual pallor.

    I forgot to point it out the last time I read it, so I'm doing so now!

Blaise probably couldn't expect much, this time. Blaise was a Death Eater's kid, raised by, if not always Death Eaters, at least not blood traitors. Molly Weasley's soul was so clean it squeaked. It was a good thing Blaise had Snape to fall back on, for awhile. Mrs. Weasley was just too...not a Death Eater. Way, way too not a Death Eater to want to keep Blaise for very long.

    Hey just so you know, I love this. I also love how Blaize consistently counts. Or makes little lists, that is. Its such an interesting tic that is still so relatable, and yet really /distinct/ from Harry. I've been reading this series for years and I could not be happier to stumble back into it and see this new story.

Hogwarts offers an informational meeting for all the muggle-raised first years. Harry decides to go. The only trouble is that his relatives would never take him.

    Who was he trying to fool indeed! i love this!

Hogwarts has enacted a house-exchange program in the interest of increasing inter-house unity and understanding. Students fourth year and up can visit other houses for two weeks if they sign up. Harry has a morbid curiosity about what it might have been like to be sorted into Slytherin.
In Response to the House Exchange Program prompt by JAWorley.

Reviewer: Valiantknight (Signed)
    I really really like the student court, it was an excellent touch to add to the fair minded Hufflepuffs, and really makes things like Susan's aunt being part of the Wisengamot seem really fully fleshed out and like it has roots in this first little bit of her past in hufflepuff (assuming she was).

When Harry begins Hogwarts, his childhood imaginary friend is still hanging around.

    Oh this breaks my heart, i'm tearing up a little. harry was trying so hard to give himself an outlet...

    Author's Response: It sure broke my heart while I was writing it. Thank you for reading!

After a disastrous fifth-year Potions class with Potter, Severus discovers that Potter is being tortured by Umbridge. With Dumbledore evicted from Hogwarts, there’s little Severus can do to keep his oath to protect Potter. That is, until Severus is given the troubling news that Umbridge has given Potter another detention, thus compelling him to take Potter’s place.

Title: Chapter 5: endure 08 May 2020
Reviewer: Valiantknight (Signed)
    I like the small but important, shared, detail of his heart aching and being soothed simultaneously by being tucked in. I like how this all makes it very easily to, literally, walk a mile in Harry's shoes. This is all very good.

Reviewer: Valiantknight (Signed)
    This is very good. I can't think of what to say because it is just about 2 am here, but i hope you will take the fact i stayed up late to read it as the complement it is.

Harry finds the book from the fifth year of the Half Blood Prince, and there's a co-author to it. He will discover who is the Half Blood Prince at all costs.

After a few spells from his time at Hogwarts make a comeback, Severus Snape tries to reveal who exactly has his old book.

Dolores Umbridge sees that once again, Harry Potter makes a mess at her school. She will find his mysterious partner, one Half Blood Prince, and punish him.

Who will succeed on his quest?
