Summary: As it says in the title. Lily was able to protect her parents during the war (or they just weren't dead when she died). So they are available to take Harry on when Lily and James die. Either Dumbledore leaves Harry with them or Petunia gives them Harry after he's left on her doorstep - your choice. The Evans raise him in Cokeworth, having never moved away. Snape is still there during the holidays. Added complexity - if left with Petunia, maybe Dumbledore doesn't know they are alive.
[Report This] Summary:
Time is a dangerous thing to meddle with. Hermione Granger should have hidden her schedule and time turner more easily because it ends up in Harry’s hands after he decides to investigate how Hermione can take two classes at the same time multiple times a day. He finds Hermione’s time turner and after some investigation, discovers what it is. For whatever reason, he decides to take the time turner, leaving Hermione to panic about where it has gotten. Yet, after getting into a fight with Draco, something happens that throws both boys into the past, breaking the time turner in the fight. Unable to get back home, Snape eventually learns of this and learning it was Granger’s doing, is sent back by Dumbledore to retrieve Potter and Malfoy. Snape must chase them down and try to get all three of them back home, protecting and guiding them along the way. Do they get home or are they lost in time?

A master of his craft. A boy who finds peace in nature. A troublemaker who has the rules bent for him. Potions is a dangerous subject but there are those who simply do not appreciate such a subtle art of magic. The arts of Potions and Herbology both deal with plants so what if they were taught as one subject? Everyone knows Severus Snape hates that chubby Longbottom boy and the Potter whelp and the animosity of Potter and Snake spanning decades. Like father, like son after all. After all, Longbottom can’t make a potion to save his life regardless of what Pomona says and Potter didn’t inherit anything of Lily. Circumstances occur that lead to this very thing happening. During Harry Potter’s Hogwarts life, sometime after first year, it is decided that Herbology and Potions are better off taught as one class which nobody is happy about. Not only that, to stem the issues of bullying, it is decided that students will be split up by house to foster an understanding of each other. Oh there’s no way this can go wrong is there? With Potter there always is. Things I would like to see:
[Report This] Summary:
Re: the only good thing Petunia did for Harry (was a challenge or prompt here) Petunia taught Harry how to sew / mend clothes with needle and thread, and made him do cloth repair jobs round the house. When Harry's uniform rips, he realises that some cloth tears cannot be mended with magic, and he is scared to throw his uniform into the separate 'needs repairs' hamper cause he's afraid of repercussions. It happens in 1st year since he doesn't know about the house-elves yet. Ergo, he asks Hermione to ask her parents to send needle and thread / he wishes for needle and thread for Christmas. Or better yet, instead of a 50 p piece, Petunia sends him a small spool of thread and a needle. Fast forward, Harry now has a reputation and a small business as person who mends clothes better than the house-elves / being able to do it where the house-elves can't. The only way Snape can show his support is anonymously sending Harry his orders, and sending Harry books about magically enhanced sewing... [Report This] Summary:
There is truth to the "voodoo dolls" [I know the term is problematic] cliche in the wizarding world. It is actually real / applicable, and only Snape knew about that (cue Prince Family Secrets, etc.) It's the reason why Voldemort only came back many years later, with no nose and not so powerful, while Harry's survival is, in large part, because Snape keeps pouring some low-level luck potion and health potions over Harry's doll. [Report This] Summary:
Severus, in an effort to bring Harry happiness, goes out celebrating carnival with him by accompanying him to and collecting sweets for him at a carnival procession. I want it cause where I am, carnivals are the quintessential of what Sev is not - it's loud, it's colorful, and it's so overladen with sweets that your teeth rot away from just looking at them, and some music played is definitely too adult for the about 50% majority that are the kids hopping around where I celebrate. But Sev indulges Harry because he believes Harry will like it. And I want little Harry in the cutest costume imaginable while Sev's usual clothing is costume-worthy 😂😂 The title is because in German, carnival-lovers are called jesters/fools. [Report This] Summary:
Out of necessity, Severus has become a genius at creating potent magically enhanced soups potions from kitchen waste (fruit or veggie peels, animal bones, scraps of herbs etc.). When he finds out about Harry's abuse, and is being actively stopped from intervening, he does the only thing he can think of: he makes Harry copy all the recipes in detention, and makes him read "foraging the forest" and "what is safe to eat"-type survival books. Maybe part of the teachings is also a [magical method, i.e. potion or spell] that can make most things consumable by removing the toxins from it as long as it hasn't totally fallen to decay. It's the reason why the trio didn't starve to death on the run, and they were not reported to have gotten sick. It also comes back to Severus by saving his life through one of those "potions", and/or through the detoxifying spell which Harry uses on him in desperation. [Report This] Summary:
"Black market today, illicit potions tomorrow? What's next, Severus? He'll be the leader of a crime syndicate by the time Harry goes to school!" - OutriderIvyHill [Report This] Summary:
The abuse at the Dursley's was worse than Harry remembers. After every severe incident, Dumbledore came to wipe child Harry's memory. But memory charms are not infallible. Especially not repeated, frequent ones over many years. Harry is now experiencing strange symptoms, maybe they are flashbacks? PTSD responses? But Harry can not fully remember, and the vague memories and reactions of his body are making his life very difficult. He is anxious, terrified, angry, all jumbled up, and he has difficulty with his schoolwork and other things. And he doesn't know why. He was told it is all a side effect of his scar, but he isn't sure. [Report This] Summary:
After the 4th task ministry officials and the other mentors gang up on Harry. They do not believe that he is telling the truth and demand Veritaserum. Who else to administer it than Snape? He can clearly see that Harry is terrified, injured, and is in fact telling the truth. As they force Harry into the chair to pour the serum down his throat will he let his feelings go and help the boy, stand aside and watch, or use the opportunity to weasel out more "truths?"
