    Summary

    Severus Snape had made his choices long ago and would never forgive himself. He lives a life of regret for what he has done and resentment for what has been done to him. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, but the horror of his wrongful imprisonment cannot be forgotten. Every day he faces a battle that no one else can ever truly understand, but love for Harry and hope for a better world and the family they'll someday be gives him the strength to keep fighting with an open heart. Harry Potter has always had too much asked of him but he's never had to fight alone. While being forced by Dumbledore to learn Occlumency from Snape over the summer, he realizes that he's had a protector in the professor all along. With the discovery of common ground between them, nothing will ever be the same again.

    Summary

    The one where Hermione needs Harry to be safe.

    ---

    Harry. Harry wasn’t safe.

    Harry needed to be somewhere safe this summer. He had watched Cedric die. Watched Voldemort return. Been tortured. Seen his dead parent return while he duelled the man who murdered his parents. All during a tournament he was forced into and consequently vilified for by his peers and Britain’s wizarding world.

    Harry needed to be somewhere where he could be sad and angry and scared and not alone and safe.

    Where was safer than Hogwarts?

    Summary

    Someone—and Harry might murder them if he ever finds out who—digs something up in old records proclaiming that Harry is not only the Heir of Slytherin as all Parselmouths are, but Lord Slytherin by Right of Conquest after killing the basilisk. Students start coming to Harry for protection and other gifts he can grant them as Lord Slytherin. Harry thinks this Lord business is the stupidest thing he’s ever heard, but all he needs to do is offer them protection and so on without becoming too full of himself. So it’s doable. Hopefully

    Summary

    Harry is a child. Why is it his job to save the school? Why is it his job to do anything other than attend classes and do homework?

    It’s not his job, but it seems Dumbledore is trying to make it Harry’s job.

    And well, after living with the Dursleys so long only to end up under the thumb of a brand new manipulator, can Harry really be blamed for running away?

    If no one else sees value in Harry, then it’s Harry’s job to find value in himself. That is a job he can live with.

    *

    An eleven-year-old boy goes on a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
    Let’s see what happens.

    (And he also maybe saves the world?)

    A/N: I got some questions in comments so to clarify: the disability tag WILL NOT apply to Harry at any point in the fic. There is a character who is mute, and remains so for the duration of the fic, and the tag applies only to them. If you have questions or concerns regarding your well-being while reading, feel free to drop a comment and I'll do my best to help out! <3
