Summary
Sirius wailed, tears falling onto James’ cold skin as he held him. The only thing that made him pause was the shrill cry of a baby inside the room next door. Sirius propped James up against the wall, touched his face one more time, and swiftly ducked into the room.
Lily was dead. Harry was not.
...
Or, a cannon-adjacent fic where Sirius, Severus, and Remus try to get over their differences to protect Harry from his only living family. They move in next door and try to play a nice group of muggle roommates. Tensions rise; will they fight to the death, or will past hatred turn into something else? I don't know yet, so we'll see where it goes!Series

Summary
On the first day of summer after 5th year, Harry is sure that he will have the longest, worst summer of his life. Still grieving Sirius and with thoughts of the prophecy, his only thought is to make it to Hogwarts in the fall.
His plans are ruined when a Death Eater attack leaves the Dursleys dead, the blood wards destroyed, and Severus Snape's cover as spy blown. Now, both are wanted by the Dark Lord and in danger. For their own safety, Dumbledore sends the two to a safe house, far to the north -- a cottage by the sea. There, Harry and Severus learn far more about each other than they ever dreamed.
(Post OoTP, but alternate HBP. Pure Severitus angst. No Snarry romance, but maybe a little Hinny. Not beta read or Britt picked.)

Summary
Voldemort succeeds in getting the Philosopher's stone from Harry at the end of his first year and disappears from Hogwarts, taking the eleven year old boy-saviour with him as his prize to enact his revenge on. The years of abuse Harry survived at the hands of the Dursleys were a walk in the park compared to the unimaginable horror of being held captive at the mercy of the newly resurrected Dark Lord and his sadistic followers. When Snape returns to continue his role as a spy he realises he has a dire decision to make - risk his life to try and save the son of his enemy or live with the guilt of watching Lily's son die at the hands of his former master. The consequences of his choice are far reaching and have the power to change the course of both of their lives from that moment forward, for better or for worse.
Canon divergence (Second year rewrite), believable Severitus featuring (mostly) true to canon characters, this one will certainly be long and ansgty so buckle up my friends!- Language:

Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Harry Potter is no ordinary boy. Abused, isolated, and forgotten by those who should have loved him, he arrives at Hogwarts battered but surviving. But something ancient stirs within him — the fragmented memories of a boy once named Caelum Slytherin, younger brother to Salazar, the oft-misunderstood Founder.
As his power grows and his memories resurface, Harry finds solace not in Gryffindor glory but in the shadows of Slytherin. When Severus Snape sees through the mask of apathy Harry wears like armor, he uncovers a child on the edge. One who remembers too much… and is breaking under the weight of two lives.
Sometimes, all it takes is one person to reach through the centuries and say: you are not alone.
I’m on my college break until September so I’ll try and post as many chapters as I can a day because I love you write and I want this book to have as many chapters as it can without it being boring

Summary
“The Ministry takes a vested interest in ensuring our young witches and wizards are as safe as we can make them and you, dear boy, are very important to Minister Fudge.” Professor Umbridge said, simpering in a self-satisfied way as she said Fudge’s name. “So I must ask you where you’ve been this last August?”
Harry coughed into his tea and nearly spilled it over himself.
