It's year six and Harry struggles with the visions he's inherited from Voldemort. Dumbledore is reaching the end of his time and needs to ensure someone will take care of Harry after the headmaster is gone. An incident in the Forbidden Forest where Snape must care for an injured Harry without using magic sets in motion far reaching changes in their lives and in the magical world.

Alternative Year Six story written originally from 2004-2005 under the username GreenGecko. Canonical (as much as possible) through OotP.

    Ugh Greer.
    This chapter is quite funny. Getting
    To see Minerva as just so damn funny , sarcastic and sweet. The foreshadowing for her "we were all surprised".

    Author's Response:

    Thanks. I can't tell when my trying to be funny/sitcom-ish is landing. (No one laughs when I try to joke in person, so I have no gauge for this, lol) 

    I'm working ont that "we were all suprirsed" section right now. It got expanded a bit because it's too much fun.

    Thanks for reading and commenting YET AGAIN

    "You had to have a full set,didn't you, Harry?"
    One of my many favorite quotes in this story.

    Author's Response:

    One day while writing early on when I was like, oh most of year six has already happened, and there must have been a DADA teacher in there... And, of course that throw-away character had to try and kill Harry. Or course.


Title: Chapter 23: A Time to Reap & Getting Detention 10 Jan 2024

    I was so happy for this update.
    Lots of Minerva's snappy goodness.
    Neville coming into his own, publicly telling Ron off.
    Senate's arm around sleeping, barefoot Harry was such a sweet moment.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, that is a sweet moment.

    Long ago there was a prolific LJ account with mostly HP pencil drawings and thousands of followers and such amazing art. And an image showed up on their account that matched this scene. But the artist had a note about please not downloading the art. So I honored that. But the account vanished and I really wished I had a copy just for me that I just never shared around, mostly honoring the artist... SIGH.


Title: Chapter 26: The Christmas Ball 22 Jan 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)
    Adorable chapter.
    I really adore Harry navigating normal life.

    Author's Response:

    Now that you state it that way, yeah. I think there is something oddly satisfying about that.


Title: Chapter 27: Holiday Blues 28 Jan 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)
    Come on Severus, it's the first Christmas with your adopted son. Probably not the best time for a sleep over with the girl friend. But still makes an interesting chapter. And Candide was pretty good about it all.

    Author's Response:

    Snape really does think his business his his business. He's about to learn otherwise. Like all new parents do.


Title: Chapter 28: A First Christmas 28 Jan 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)
    A lovely Christmas. Poor insecure Severus not yet completely understanding Harry. I'm glad Harry thanked him for the nice Christmas.
    BTW, what are they drinking out of the metal cups?

    Author's Response:

    Rum with molasses added to it.

    Harry smoothing his hair back was a little homage to James , no?

Title: Chapter 34: Round about the Cauldron Go 14 Feb 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)
    Well Tonks was pretty smooth there , seducing our boy.

    Author's Response:

    Me: My MC needs to lose his v-card.

    Also Me: Oh, look there's a canon character the MC likes a bit whose name is Nymphadora...


Title: Chapter 35: Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog 14 Feb 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)
    Harry thinking he must look different now cracked me up.
    And him thinking to himself that getting shagged made for a pretty good holiday was also pretty funny.

    Author's Response:

    I'm relieved the v-card punch section is playing out okay. I still think of this as YA -ish and have anxiety about these sections as a result. So thanks for the reaction on that!


Title: Chapter 37: Adder's Fork and Blind Worm's Sting 22 Feb 2024
Reviewer: hobesan (Signed)

    Author's Response:

    This is a rare chapter where Snape can bring it all to bear.
