Summary: What if Snape took Neville as his ward/child sometime before Hogwarts age?

They go through the typical bonding stage that we usually see with Harry&Snape in Severitus.

Once Harry comes to Hogwarts he befriends Neville, who is bullied because he is a teacher's son/ward.

Neville and Harry get close to each other, Snape sees him often and gets to know him. Snape realizes that Harry is abused (emotional, physical, sexual - all of it? You choose - go down the dark path, if you want, but make it realistic) and offers to take him until his situation is resolved.

Harry wishes to stay with Snape and Neville - but will it happen?


Suggestions/Bonus:

Neville does not have to be in Gryffindor, maybe he is even sorted into Slytherin to please Snape? Personally I think Hufflepuff would suit him well.

You can make it so that Neville's gran dies and Snape was friends with the Longbottoms or Neville's godfather. Or find any other way to get her out of the picture. Don't make her abuse Neville in any way! Neglect (non-intentional) would be passable though

Snape must have been a small part of Neville's life before he takes him (maybe his tutor?) and must have been the one to realize his gran is unfit to care for him if you don't kill her

Neville's Great Uncle Algy is deemed unfit to care for Neville (alcoholic, poor, ill, unsettled? You choose)

Neville must have been of an age, when he was taken in, that he still remembers his gran and great uncle

Neville and Snape are not yet 100% comfortable with each other, even though they are a family

When Snape decides to take Harry in temporarily, Neville must be worrying about loosing Snape and if Harry stays permanently, he must show signs of jealousy

Snape must deal with two very different children with very different backgrounds, so make him struggle!

all pairings allowed, but please don't make this story revolve around romance - the main part should be Sev's relationship with the boys

you can make Harry Snape's biological son if you wish, it is not mandatory

Summary:
A simple twist on the kidnapped-baby-Harry plot. Snape and Harry find out they're brothers, but Tobias a/o Eileen don't want now teenage Harry.

Use any twist you want:

- whatever changed Harry's appearance is permanent and they can't get past it.

- Harry's either Tobias or Eileen's love child and the other parent doesn't want him, causing fights between them.

- only one's alive and he's the child of the other.

All that's required is that Snape takes Harry in even though their parents don't want him.

Summary: Hagrid wants to give Harry a photo album of him and his parents in first year (it was end of the year, when Harry was in hospital after the fight with Voldemort). So he asks everybody he knows for photos - even Professor Snape! And Snape obviously has a lot of pictures of Lily.

• There must be a conversation between Hagrid and Snape about the pictures
• Snape must struggle about the decision to give those pictures and do it on the condition that Hagrid won't say where he got them from
• Harry learns at some point in the story - before the famous Shrieking Shack Death Scene - that those pictures came from Snape
• Harry gives the Potions Master an anonymous present back

Bonus:

Harry confronts Snape about the pictures

Snape realizes who the anonymous gift giver is and does something about it
