Summary:

Harry has been brewing and taking dreamless sleep potions, but he has a problem he's run out of ingredients in his potions kit. In his tiredness he can only think of one way to get what he needs.

The challenge. Put the following two paragraphs somewhere in a story!

His dreams, once filled with whimsical magic and camaraderie, had been replaced by unnerving nightmares of his days at the Dursleys'. Harry found himself in an endless cycle of cold sweat and trembling. As a result, he had resorted to secretly brewing Dreamless Sleep Potions in the third-floor girls' bathroom, where Moaning Myrtle provided gloomy company.

However, his potion kit was now barren. The only person with access to the ingredients he needed was the person he dreaded the most: Professor Snape.

Summary: Basically I want two things to happen: (1) 1st year, Harry DOES NOT go check for hermione. Whether she still survives or not is up to you. The troll still comes but Harry doesn't go checking like a reckless idiot (2) 2nd year, Harry does not save Ginny. Whether she's the one in the chamber or it's a different student or she lives or does is all up to you. M only point is yes he's a parselmouth --Bonus if he still has to battle the basilisk-- but he does not rescue Ginny Honestly it doesn't matter if he's dark or the same as canon, or if he's slytherin or whatever. I just want Dumbledores little tests to blow up in his face big-time

Summary: Professor Snape realizes why Headmaster Dumbledore shows so much favoritism towards Harry Potter: It is because he expects Harry to die young.

As soon as Snape realizes this, he kidnaps Harry to keep him from Dumbledore's machinations. He won't let Dumbledore allow, or possibly orchestrate Harry's death.

Summary: The first thing Voldemort has Quirrell do is to find his beloved snake. Animals and humans go missing at Hogwarts and Harry hears voices that no one else can. What will happen if the trio goes after the snake? What will the toll of thinking he is crazy do to Harry first year?

Summary: Harry Potter is a teacher at Hogwarts. Since he has past experience living in the Muggle world, Harry is often sent to visit new prospective students in the Muggle world and their parents. Who should Harry find one day but a miniature Severus Snape.
