Christmas is supposed to be a time of giving and caring, but nine-year-old Harry Potter knows the Dursleys will do whatever they can to make him miserable. After a terrible day at primary school, he doesn’t expect the evening at Number Four, Privet Drive to be any better, but perhaps it’s not too late for something good to happen.…

- This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. I don’t think it’s too unrealistic for Snape to care for Harry so soon; I think anyone with a heart would care after seeing all that. And Snape’s heart might be black and shriveled, but he still has one. Thank you for this wonderful story
Author's Response: Thank you for your amazing comment! I like to think Snape would be there for Harry however he could, I just love the idea of Snape being thrust into fatherhood and being unsure about it all but ultimately determined to do right by Harry. :) thanks so much for reviewing!
After Dumbledore’s death, Hogwarts has to be evacuated to ensure a proper turnover of the wards. Accordingly, McGonagall announces that everyone must leave for the winter holidays. With Bellatrix still on the loose, Harry has little desire to endanger his friends by going home with them, so he resigns himself to a terrible holiday spent with the Dursleys.
Thankfully for him, Severus has been on the alert ever since he had uncovered bits and pieces of Harry’s childhood. When he discovers where Harry has gone, he immediately sets about putting the situation to rights.

Author's Response: ahhh thank you!!!!
After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so.
As it turns out, though, sometimes help can arrive in even the most unexpected of forms too.
