    Summary

    Does Snape really think that Harry is worried about another mad man after him?

    He can handle himself, thanks.

    Changes in the gang and at Hogwarts are running rampant as Snape tries to deal with a ward who he believes may be struggling with more than just his copious amounts of past trauma, Harry wants everyone to leave him alone and let him find Sirius Black for a 'friendly chat', Susan fantasizes about what she'll do if she even so much as sees one hair of Sirius Blacks head near her best friend, Hermione and Theo just want to read... alone... together..., and Remus Lupin wonders what on Earth happened to James' son to create the chaotic child he now meets.

    Welcome back to Year 3.

    Summary

    Harry survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then the years he spent staying alive on the streets of London.

    Situations weren’t impossible, not when Harry had the one thing that kept him safe and made him special: magic.

    And then getting to go to school filled with other magic kids? Getting a gang of his very own? Finding out that he was famous and getting to learn more and more magic?

    Life was brill.

    Life was not so ‘brill’ for Severus Snape who saw a small boy covered in scars, stuttering when he spoke, and seemed to be filled with unresolved trauma. The boy he vowed to keep safe had a true knack for chaos, a knack that even Severus could hardly contain.

    Welcome… to Year One.

    Summary

    After Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides it's not safe for Harry to spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron, and instead sends him to stay at Spinner’s End with Professor Snape.

    It's tense, awkward, and teeming with misunderstandings...but it might be the best thing that's happened to either of them. They're both been without a family for a very long time.
