In the Valley of Death, the Hallowed Light Shines by TheLostBoys333 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 13]
When Harry finds himself locked in a room that seems to be trying to kill him by Dumbledore, he knows he has to escape. Luckily, he gets help, but is brought to the one person he never would've thought to go to: Severus Snape. Under the man's protection, Harry will learn that his life has been a manipulated lie, there is a prophecy from Death himself-who likes to be called Nex?-Voldemort may be a better option, and he has a father who actually loves him. It's time for the Master of Death to step out of the shadows.

In The Fangs Of Uncertainty by SnapesYukuai starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 5]
Harry: When he has a vision of Snape being tortured by Voldemort he does the sensible thing for once and goes straight to Dumbledore. To save Severus Harry will do everything! He cannot loose him! Not now that he has found a family and a home with the snarky Potions Master. Not now when they have finally reached an understanding and a positive, caring relationship.

Snape: When he seeks out Dumbledore to inform him of a Death Eater meeting he is prepared for a lot of things. With Dumbledore you never know.
