    Summary

    A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own.

    It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.
    But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family.

    A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5.

    Summary

    Minerva sighs. “No matter how you disagree with other Heads of Houses’ behavior, you cannot yell at them. That is what Albus is for. If we had accused you of the things you did Flitwick? You would have rioted, Severus. It’s not our place.”

    Severus pauses and considers her words. Would he have wanted that?

    “I do wish that one of our colleagues, especially you, had spoken to me about my behavior. And yes,” He adds, quieter than before. “It would have been embarrassing. I would have been upset—but I could have changed sooner. Been less cruel. I would have valued, eventually, that you cared enough about the students to do something one might deem improper in order to help them.”

    Shrugging, Severus looks down to the water. He misses being a teenager. No, he just... he wishes his teen years were different.

    Maybe he’d know better sooner.

    Summary

    Left to cope with the recent loss of his godfather, Harry wanders outside of the wards secured around Privet Drive and finds himself in the care of a furious Professor Snape. Forced together in a run-down house in Spinner's End, Harry and Severus face their greatest challenge yet: surviving each other.

    Set after OotP, no slash, fic centered around Sevitus relationship, lots of angst, slow-burn enemies-to-mentor fic :)

    Summary

    I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies–

    Carved on a hand with blood, Harry accidentally and unknowingly creates a binding magical contract– one that prevents him from telling a lie.

    Can Harry use this curse to his advantage? Or will it reveal everything he holds secret? Will the world believe him about Voldemort’s return, or will they brush off his warnings as the ravings of an attention seeking liar? And why is Snape butting his nose into Harry’s memories?
