    Summary

    “Expect signs of PTSD,” the social worker warned him, “Extreme mood swings, risky behavior, aggression, and self-harm are all things to look out for. I would recommend counseling.”

    Severus hasn’t seen any of that yet. Harry is extremely polite, neat, and personable. He likes gardening and football. He helps make grocery lists and cook dinner.

    He knows there is more: clues that he’s missing and behaviors he’s overlooking, hints that Harry is struggling more that he’s letting on, but overall, Harry seems remarkably well-adjusted. It’s unnerving.

    Because Severus knows that Harry spent a significant portion of his childhood confined to a single cupboard under the stairs. He knows that Harry was not fed consistently and did not have clean clothes that fit him. That he was hit.

    By all accounts, Harry should be struggling. In the eight years since Severus first met Harry as an infant, his parents died, he was raised in an abusive household, and then forced to live with an estranged family friend he didn’t remember.

    It worries Severus that he’s not seeing it, like Harry could be drowning right in front of him and he wouldn’t even know.

    Summary

    It’s the summer of 1978.

    Lily Evans and Severus Snape, still thick as thieves, have just graduated from Hogwarts and are beginning to make their way in the Wizarding World. To avoid returning to Spinner’s End, they rent a flat together in Diagon Alley as roommates. Both know without saying that this arrangement is strictly platonic. But the heart wants what it wants, and Severus has practically graduated with an honorary certificate in yearnology. Will he be able to live alongside Lily so closely whilst keeping his heart intact? And will Lily grow to see her best friend in a new light?

    In this version, Lily did not date James Potter. The “mud blood” incident between Severus and Lily occurred differently than in canon (i.e., he didn't use the slur), and did not result in the dissolution of their friendship.

    Summary

    On that fateful Halloween night, when the Killing Curse rebounded and a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was blasted apart from the whole, it latched itself onto a new vessel.

    No, not Harriet Potter.

    A cat.
