- While unable to close the wound, Black, Lupin, and Harry all brush up against young Severus while taking him up to the castle.
- Dumbledore informs them that because of this physical contact one of them must always be within sight of young Severus until healed, otherwise the injured boy could be pulled ether ‘between time’ or permanently anchored in the present.
- Also, to send Severus back he must trust in someone.
- Professor Snape has disappeared.
- Students and parents too begin disappearing. Having ‘died’ before Voldemort was vanquished.
- Severus’ wound takes a long time to heal. Slowly he becomes friendlier to Black, Lupin and Harry (who he keeps mistakenly calling James). Although his trust they fear they might never get.
- Harry alone notices something not quite ‘true’ about Severus but he can’t quite name what.
- Severus receives a visit from Dumbledore and asks what will happen to the Marauders for pulling such a dangerous prank when he goes back. Dumbledore won’t tell, and gets a forced promise out of Severus not to tell anyone about Lupin. This visit happens on Remus’ watch.
- Harry and Severus visit Hogsmeade. Towards evening Severus tries to break away from Harry, and the two get caught by death-eater members.

- Dumbledore then offers a small 100 year aged bottle of Complete Health Restoration. Which also requires an incantation. As well as Severus removing his glamour’s and robes.
- Severus, doesn’t move for a full ten minutes, before finally agreeing by silently taking off his clothes, glamour’s and laying on a bed.
- Black, Lupin, and Harry barely keep their silence as they lay eyes on Severus’ crippled left side. With a discolored blind eye. Badly bruised ear. Repeatedly broken arm. Repeatedly broken leg, and multiple belt buckle scars crisscrossing his back.
- Much later, after young Severus has gone back to his own time, and all others have reappeared, Harry asks Professor Snape why he took the dark mark a second time. Snape removes a complicated glamour off his left forearm to reveal a long, wide, thin metal cuff, branded with the mark instead.
Well this challenge is definitely more of a story outline. But that is all it will ever be unless one of you great authors decides to pick it up!

Summary: So there was a story I read on here [sorry, I can't remember who it was by] that had Harry having Dissociative Identity Disorder, and I thought it was brilliant. Therefore...I want to make a challenge about it!
~Requirements~
Please actually research DID. There's nothing worse than reading a story with a mental illness in it that's completely wrong. I don't expect everything to be perfect, or anything, but showing you put *something* into it would be nice.
May not be set before first year. May be set anywhere between second-sixth years, and you may mess with canon any way you see fit. Voldemort may be dead already, or not dead, or anything you like.
Harry must have been placed with the Dursleys as a baby. The abuse/neglect must be worse than it is in the books. [After all, it caused him to dissociate.]
Harry must have more than two alters. You can decide what they're like, what they're named, etc.
Snape must find out at some point. He must find out FIRST. After that, anyone else may find out, but Snape is the first one who starts suspecting that something is wrong.
Please, no canon character death, unless it's of Voldemort and/or the other Death Eaters.
Options:
- Draco and Harry become friends--or even Draco and one of Harry's alters become friends.
- Ron acts like a git at first because he doesn't understand.
- Lucius is good and tries to help Severus deal with Harry.
- Harry has at least one alter who's a girl.
- Harry has at least one alter who self-harms.
[ Report This]
Summary: Hurt/Comfort. Harry gets hypothermia (or gets close to it). Did he fall through an icy lake? Did the Dursleys kick him out of the house one winter and make him sit out in freezing temperatures? Did he go for a walk one day and get caught in a snow storm or get so distracted thinking about something that he failed to notice hypothermia creeping up on him? How he gets it is up to you.
Snape runs into him somehow and helps him out.
[ Report This]
Summary: Write a story inspired by the song 'He Didn't Have To Be' by Brad Paisley.
[ Report This]
Summary: In the books and in the movies it appears as if Harry has difficulties focusing or controlling his impulses. What if Harry was diagnosed with ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)? What if there was only one other adult person who understood this muggle disease... because he actually had it?
Musts:
~ A smart Harry who is understimulated
~ Some type of fostering relationship developing between Sev and Harry
~ Harry being told by Snape that he is not dumb
[ Report This]
Summary: Harry is held back a grade or sent back a grade due to his focus on quidditch and/or his "saving-people-thing." He is also removed from his house for one reason or another and placed with someone who make him focus.
Must:
~ Ron and some other Gryffindors acting as a distraction to Harry's studying
~ Severus fighting with Minerva about Harry
[ Report This]
Summary: After years of nothing but insulting Harry, Snape finally goes too far and says something Harry can't ignore. Harry snaps and starts ranting and venting, getting more than a few things off his chest, whether he originally intended to say them or not. Musts:
- It can take place at Hogwarts or Grimmauld Place, anytime from 5th year onward.
- The whole thing, starting from the inciting insult, must be witnessed by at least one other person (although not a large group of people), but they must not interfere. One of them should be Professor McGonagall. They should not be seen by Harry or Snape.
- Must be mentioned in the rant: his treatment at the Dursleys, the line "How exactly can I be just like my father, when I didn't even know my father?!", Harry's opinion of the occlumency 'lessons', and an accusation of Snape being a bully. Not necessarily in that order, and of course other things may be said.
- Snape's reaction, as well as those of the onlookers, is up to you.
[ Report This]
Summary: This is a "Harry goes back in time" fic challenge. Harry uses his knowledge of Snape's love for Lily to manipulate Snape. Or at least to get Snape to be less hostile.
Perhaps he dyes his hair red? Or wears contacts/goes without his glasses around Snape. How he does it is up to you.
