Summary: Ever see the movie The Good Son? Snape is put in the situation to where he has to choose between the lives of Malfoy and Potter. Will he choose the more evil Malfoy or the innocent Potter? Malfoy has been acting up all year and the only person who has been able to catch him doing these evil things or attempting is Harry. Harry goes to Snape as he knows he's his godson and hopes that he listens. When Harry finds out about an evil plot of Draco's Harry tries to stop him, and now Snape is caught between saving his Godson and the Boy Who Lived!

Summary: I've always thought that, as excited as Harry was to get away from his relatives and with such a thirst to prove himself (as the hat mentioned) that Harry might have been a bit more studious...at least in the beginning before his friendships and adventures truly began.

Keeping that thought in mind, here is the challenge: Desperate to fit in for the first time in his life, Harry makes it a point to learn all he can about the world he's about to enter before he's thrown headlong into this strange new life. While at shopping for his school supplies, since apparently he has plenty of money, Harry gets several additional items.

Potions, from all outward appearances, appears to be the most "normal" of all the subjects he'll be taking so that is the first subject he decides to expand upon. Instead of just the standard student potions equipment and supplies, Harry pays top dollar for a sort of masters kit if you will. (you decide what this might be called, the price, and just what might be included.) He also buys several supplemental books on the theories, ingredients, techniques, and ingredients used in potions making.

Aside from potions, Harry is also eager to learn all he can about Wizarding history (especially after learning the role he and his parents apparently played), law, culture/traditions/customs, and religion. He adds several books on such subjects to his list and pours through the lot of them secretly each night under his covers.

When Snape intentionally tries to humiliate the "new celebrity" during that first class, he is blown away by the boys' knowledge of the subject. When each of the cannon questions are answered accurately and articulately, Snape moves on to harder and harder questions and continues to be amazed. By the end of class Snape comes to the conclusion that, Gryffindor and son of his most hated childhood enemy or not, the boy's potential cannot be overlooked. Thus, and unlikely relationship develops between the Golden Boy of Gryffindor and the Dungeon Dwelling Slytherin Snake.

Must Haves: Mean!Snape turns Mentor!Snape but always Snarky/Sarcastic!Snape, Intelligent/Well-Informed!Harry, Abused!Harry, Unable-to-trust!Harry, Eventual Harry and Draco friendship with future Harry/Draco pairing if the fic continues throughout all seven years.

Cannot Haves: Harry sorted into Slytherin, Too-Nice!Snape

Summary: Hi to everyone. Like my nick suggests, I’m a big fan of "In Blood Only," in my opinion the best Severitus ever. I’m very grateful to Severitus,who started the challenge (your story is also very awesome).

Recently this challenge and the corresponding "revised version" named Sevitus appear to have lost its dash so I hope you’ll appreciate this small reminder and that new masterworks will arise.

The main points of the challenge are the following:

1) After years the Wizard War II is finally won but at a price. Harry decides to come back in time and try to fix up. This point is very generic. The authors will choose if follow DH’s pattern or not (but Severus-loved-only-Lily is a must).

2) His “old’’ soul blended with the "young" (so one soul) in his one year old body but he does not obtain again his memories of the future until his eleven birthday (the spell he used requires 10 years of "void").

3)But you cannot violate Universal laws and not pay forfeit.

This time his so-called family don’t limit themselves to starving him but they are VERY abusive with him since he’s only an infant. For the nature of the abuse the decision rests entirely on the discretion of the writer. (Personally I strongly dislike sexual abuse, but this is an irrelevant detail).

Such abuses break a charm Lily had settle on him and as a consequence his appearance change. After his “awakening’’he notices this change in his body (thin and short, sleek black hair, porcelain skin, long eyelashes; A carbon copy of the little Snape he saw in the Pensive but also with the incisive eyes and beauty of Lily’s somatic types) and discovers that Snape is his biological father (he would use a potion to conceal both abuse and real appearance).

4) he’s sort in Ravenclaw(for his choice)and depart from his former friends and acquaintances(so no Weasley family, but Hermione could be sorted to Ravenclaw too).

5) He can’t tell anybody that he’s from future.

6) He decides to save Sirius and get rid of Voldemort(or Voldemort's if you prefer) as soon as possible.

An hazardous and deathlike plan is set.

7) A mishap during Christmas holiday causes the conceal to wear of, showing only Snape the truth.

8) OPTIONAL: particular area of expertise (in addition to DADA):
a) Potions
b) Drawing
c) Cure of Magical Creature (with a magical fox as ''Daimon," spiritual-guide)
d) Healing Techniques

So a sheer angst line of plot. Scant place for romance. Powerful, war veteran, dreams-hunted and independent Harry.

You like it? If so…write it! THE DICE IS CAST!

Summary: Harry was not born as an only child. He had a twin. When Lily and James are forced into hiding, they can only take one son with him. The other, Severus, they leave with Dumbledore. Dumbledore sends him back in time for protection. Story must include: Lily and James, at least in the first chapter, some sort of struggle making the decision which boy to keep. Must also include the reaction to Harry and Severus themselves finding out. Must also describe what happens when each person finds out, e.g. Remus and Sirius, Ron, etc...

Summary: In some way shape or form Tobias Snape is made Guardian of Harry Potter. He can either be abusive or loving or somewhere in between. If he is abusive Severus must rescue him. Tobias Snape is Severus Snape's father, as we all know. The books imply that he was abusive, but nothing definite is ever stated. Because we know so little about his character he can be portrayed any way the author likes.
