Summary: Snape asks Harry to pretend to be his son for reasons... all along knowing that Harry is his actual son, and Harry has no clue.

Summary: Snape doesn't get knocked out when he is disarmed in the Shrieking Shack in 3rd year. He sees everything that happens with Pettigrew and believes the story and is therefore less likely to notify the Ministry when they get back to the castle. He also hears Harry agree WAY to quickly to move in with Sirius. How does this affect things moving forward? The selected categories are a suggestion.

Summary: Instead of going to Dumbledore when Lily is threatened, Snape goes to the Auror department (not to the head of the department, Crouch, someone else he knows and can trust, up to you) to protect the Potters. They also ask him to spy, essentially making him a magical 007, highly classified, and start a magical black ops department (MI7?). When the war is finished, they blackmail him (OR stop him from committing suicide by giving him a purpose to keep another dark lord from rising, OR make it a condition of his staying out of prison - your choice) into staying on, putting him into his own "CSI" like department. In this department he frequently interacts with the Muggle side of the law, assisting them in "weird" (according to Scotland Yard) crimes using his unique set of skills in potioneering, spell creation, dark arts, and spying. As part of his liaison work, he frequently gets pulled into accidental magic cases of muggle-born children that are being abused. Kids whose magic defends themselves in 'interesting' ways. This part of his work brings him into contact with Harry when his accidental magic defends him. Now he hasn't been working with Dumbledore at all, hasn't been sworn to protect Harry, and hasn't been told that Harry has been pampered for years. How does he react? How does he handle the case? I'm envisioning a story primarily from Snape's point of view, maybe in a gritty cop-type story/film noir feel with a dash of spy drama thrown in at the beginning and throughout. Does he continue to spy after the war? If your story goes on long enough, does he go back to spying? How does the liaison position work, is he great at blending into the muggle world as well? Does he spy for the Muggle Government as well? The world is wide open, have fun.

Summary: Snape and Harry suddenly find themselves in an alternative reality where Lily is alive, and James and Harry are dead.
[Report This]
Summary: Harry and Snape are snowed in together for Christmas.

Things to think about/ideas:
- Are Harry and Snape mad about this, or do they care at all? Did they have someplace they were each supposed to be instead of being stuck together?
- Where are they snowed in together and how did this happen? Was this a natural occurrence, some sort of magical accident, or did someone like Dumbledore orchestrate them being stuck together?
- Is anyone else stuck there with Snape and Harry? Ron? Draco? Someone hurt or unconscious?

Have fun with it! I just wanted to write up some fun Christmas prompts! As a side note: since it can still be wintery in February, I think this challenge would also work for Valentines day. Snowed in for Valentines day, lol. Snape would be royally ticked off about that!

Summary: Under ancient magical law, anything, person, or place that holds someone's soul is recognized as lawfully their's, be it as a possession, added to their family tree, or as claimed property.

So basically, those descended from the Hogwarts houses have a claim on a seat for the school board of Hogwarts once of age, or can be used by proxy, or, Voldemort can have Harry added to his inheritance because of the Horcrux.

Ideas:
  • Salazar's Basilisk, because it recognized Tom Riddle as a master or whatever you want to call it, will listen to Harry.
  • Voldemort, if sane in the story, or after broken compulsions, can without much repercussion be housed in Harry's body alongside him, and with a body can claim magical guardian of Harry.
  • Perhaps if he stays with Harry he can convince him to find Snape after a particularly cruel punishment, be it from the Dursley's, or a professor (coughumbridgecough)

Summary: We've all seen the stories where, due to amnesia, Harry forgets Severus is his father after an established relationship. Tell us the story of how one Severus Snape forgets Harry is his son after an accident or the other. Let the ansgst ensue!

Summary: The killing curse had an unintended consequence on Harry in that he is no longer able to speak or write English. Instead, he is only able to Parseltongue to communicate.

Required:
Harry's only form of communication is Parseltongue. If he tries to write, it becomes Parseltongue. If he tries to speak, it's only Parseltongue.

Optional:
-Harry can't understand English.
-Harry sorted into Slytherin

Extra points if:
-Snape picks him up instead of Hagrid
-Snape learns some Parseltongue
-"Severus" sounds close to the Parseltongue for bat.

Actual linguistics not required, just have fun playing with the language and the difficulties it brings.

*Extra extra points if you can find my old account and this (very much unfinished) story
[Report This]
Summary: Snape can talk Parseltongue, but he won't use this innate ability to help Harry in his second year until.... * you do the rest :) Bonus if Snape finds out about the Dursleys.
