About me:

My name is Matthew, although I prefer the nickname Mutt, which I got from my nearly 16-year long obsession with wolves. I am about to enter college, and I enjoy reading fictions about Harry Potter in which he is either abused by the Dursleys and finds a Father/Guardian/Mentor in Snape, or in which he is sick with some type of Cancer (such as in Behind the Rainbow by relative 1983, or Alea Iacta Est), or is disabled in some way, such as in Burnt or Destiny Rewritten.

Every once in a while Hogwarts held a summer camp the week after school ended. Severus was none too pleased that this was one of those years the Ministry and the board of governors had decided to hold one. And though he would like to think there was nothing worse than little miscreants staying on the grounds for a full week past term, there was Potter, strutting across the grounds as a camp counselor, with a group of starry eyed first and second years following after him. Welcome to the week from hell. For the Summer Camp At Hogwarts challenge by me on P and S.
