Summary: Imagine a Sevitus where Harry had been raised by Remus. I would love to read how that would go, after all most Sevitus have Harry and Severus overcoming their hatred because of Harry's lack of a father and his craving for one. But what if he did have a father all along?

My Challenge is the following:

A story where Severus is Harry's biological father with the following rules:

1- Remus has to have raised Harry from an early age, preferably still a toddler. He may have gone to stay with the Dursleys and Remus have gotten him soon, he might have gone straight to Remus but the important part is the Dursleys damage can not have been deep.

2- Harry has to call Remus dad (that's a big part of the drama the fact that Severus has to overcome two father's, the memory of James and the presence of Remus)

3- Do whatever you want regarding Sirius, he can be free from the start or in Azkaban. As long as you find a way for Remus and not Sirius to have custody of Harry Sirius can be as much a part of Harry's life as you want.

4- Now, why am I so insistent on Remus being the parent? Because of my little catch; Severus is and has always been in love with Remus. His hatred of Sirius and James has to steam from jealousy of Remus. His bitterness towards Harry too. The other catch is, the feeling is returned. Why haven't they ever acted on those feelings? I am sure you can come up with some good reason, after all, want two more messed up people than Remus and Severus?

5- How Severus comes to be Harry's father? Again your choice. But if you go for the "Lily might have been taken by Death Eaters and given to Severus to who "against his will" had to rape her or else she would be at the mercy of someone else" you have to make him do this as a last resort and he must feel guilty because he MUST be a good guy (snarky but good).

6- When Harry and he find out: whenever you want as long as they had a hate-hate relationship before. You can have that happening during Hogwarts, before Hogwarts even after Hogwarts. (For before you might want to make Remus a teacher so Harry and Severus would have interacted)

7- James MUST have been a good father and loved Harry regardless. The same goes for Remus. I want Severus competing with good father figures. If you want Harry to have been a male pregnancy the same allies to Lily, she must have been a good mother and loved Harry.

8- Harry MUST be protective of his adoptive father (using Severus snide remarks about Remus for Harry hating him is a good idea)

9- The only slash couple that is a must is Remus/Severus. You can do whatever you want with the other characters including Harry. You can follow canon or change canon completely. Personally I like a balance.

10- I DO NOT want Harry changing his first and middle name because he finds out he is Snape's son. I personally think that is like changing Harry's personality and that won't happen just because he found out who his real father is. He is still Harry. If you want you may change the last name. I personally like the idea of hyphenating to honor both fathers. (If you want him to have the last name Lupin you may also)

Good Luck!

Summary: What if when Harry sees Snape's memory, it isn't the infamous "Mudblood" memory with the Marauders? What if it is one of the memories that Snape gives to Harry before he dies? Like Snape's deal with Dumbledore to protect Harry, or where Severus saved Harry during his first Quidditch game.

Bonus:
- If Severus is Harry's father.
- If Harry finds out that Severus has been protecting him, and confronts him about it.

Summary: **DH Spoilers Alert**

At the end of DH, Snape didn't die in the shack and Harry didn't survive his encounter with Voldemort. When Harry willingly gave his own life to destroy the horocrux that resided within himself he called into play very ancient magic. Now, just as Lilly's sacrifice protected Harry, Harry's sacrifice marks every soul in Hogwarts that day. When Voldemort tries to kill Neville for attacking Nagini, the curse once again backfires only this time there are no horocruxes left to sustain him. Snape is found alive and put on trial and executed for being a traitor and that's when things get interesting. Snape has that nifty meeting with Dumbledore instead of Harry and he's given some choices as well. 1) move on to the 'next great adventure' 2) a chance to make things right, a chance to go back to the moment Harry was set down the path that lead to his ultimate destruction. Snape goes back to the moment Dumbledore told the Hogwarts staff that the Boy-Who-Lived was coming to Hogwarts and this time it won't be Hagrid that introduces Harry to the Wizarding World.

Must Haves: Draco and Harry friendship, abusive!Dursleys, Harry learning about Wizarding culture, Snape learns of Harry's Parselmouth ability before going to Hogwarts

Can Haves: Manipulative!Dumbledore, Slytherin!Harry

Summary: I was reading Malora's story "Never Say Remember" and this challenge came to me :) I loved the brutal quarrels between Harry and Snape in that story, and i like to see more of that.

So the challenge:

Harry and Snape fall together in some strange dimension. There is a replica of Spinner's End and Lily is waiting them in the kitchen. She is 20 years old, the age just before she died, she doesn't remember many of the attack, she remembers Severus as "Sev", her best friend, James as her husband and Harry as her baby.

Both wizards fight violently to gain her trust and love, but Severus knows Lily better. Harry struggles to keep his anger and disappointment away but Lily confusing him with James isn't helping his manners.

Harry sees Snape getting closer to Lily (physically and/or emotionally) and Lily responding positively to Severus. Feeling like an intruder and desperate, Harry starts fighting dirty, allowing Lily to believe that he really is James.

What's Severus going to do? Is he going to help Harry or turn Lily against him? How they're going to survive and get out of that reality?

To Do and To Not Do:

1) This is not a Severus-is-Harry's-real-father challenge. Harry's father is James Potter.

2) Don't forget that initially Snape and Harry hate each other. I expect a little more understanding way much later. Let them fight dirty.

3) Lily loves Severus deeply, but James is her husband and the love of her life. Snape needs to deal with that.

4) Harry needs to deal that Snape is the only key to understand his mother.

5) Harry's age is important: he needs to be closer to his mum's age, I'll say 7th year or out-of-Hogwarts.

I'll love you dearly if you're willing to respond this challenge! Don't hesitate to call my muse-help.

Summary: AU: Harry does not find out about Snape's role in the war against Voldemort. Snape is alive and still believed to be a traitor. Many Death Eaters got caught and the ministry decides not to spend any money on their accommodation, but to sell them as slaves. On the first anniversary of the demise of Voldemort Harry receives the Order of the Merlin 1st class and a special gift: Severus Snape...

Options: Will Harry be open minded, find out about Snape's real role during the war and fight for Snape's freedom or will he be ignorant, seek vegenance and treat him accordingly (humiliation, corporal punishment,...)? I know about two rather good already existing Fanfictions with the theme Severus Snape being a slave: One is in German, called "Der Sträfling" by Leliha to be found on rickman-snape.de, where Snape serves several OCs and, after lots of suffering, finally gets his freedom and a true love. The other is "A different sort of war" by Sly Severus to be found on Mugglenet: Snape is found by Hermione in the cellar of a college, bought by her and treated fairly until she can free him, Harry owns Bellatrix Lestrange for 12 years and tortures her. In the end every slave is either freed or sent back to Azkaban. The combination Snape and Harry seems to me very appealing, I hope for interesting dialogues...
