    Summary

    “This is where you’ve been living?” Potter asked quietly.

    And as if it were a paid actor, a rat appeared from one side of Draco’s living room, paused in the middle of the floor to look up at them, then disappeared through a hole in the opposite wall.

    “Why?” Potter turned to him with wide eyes.

    Draco shrugged. “Told you my family didn’t want me to join the Aurors. And it’s not that bad, I promise.”

    On cue, the rat reappeared from the hole in the wall, and sprinted in the direction of Draco’s tiny bathroom.

    “Right!” Weasley said loudly. “Well! That’s that decided then. I think you’re coming to live with us, mate.”

    And that was how Draco ended up living at number twelve Grimmuald Place.

    -

    Draco and Harry were friends. That's all they were, and Draco needed to learn to be grateful for that fact, no matter how much he wanted to reach out and touch Harry at every opportunity.

    Friends. It would have to be enough.

    Summary

    "Dear Mr. Potter,
    We are pleased to invite you back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this coming September..."

    Harry’s picked up more than one bad habit to cope with the aftermath of the war. Meanwhile, the students in his year are offered the chance to return to Hogwarts for a one-year apprenticeship.
    The catch?
    Apprenticeships are not chosen by the student, but by their natural magical aptitude. What happens when Harry is assigned to Severus Snape?

     

    OR:
    Post war, Harry is losing his mind. Somehow, Snape is the only one that can help him find it again.

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.
