Summary
The summer before fifth year was not going well for Harry, and it had only just started. As soon as he came off the train, he knew it was going to be a terrible summer. He had been having recurring nightmares of the events that happened at the end of the school year, and he knew the Dursleys would not be appreciative. He just hoped they would have more mercy than they've had before.

Summary
Severus Snape knows exactly where he stands at Hogwarts: lurking in the shadows, nursing fresh bruises from the Marauders, and clinging to the one friendship he has left. He doesn't expect Lydia—a stubbornly persistent Muggle-born who refuses to leave him alone. Severus can't fathom why she wants anything to do with him, but everything changes when the Sorting Hat shocks the Great Hall by placing Lydia in Slytherin. Surrounded by hostile housemates and a relentless gang of Gryffindors determined to send Severus to the hospital wing every week, two outsiders must navigate a house that hates who she is, and a school that has despised him from the beginning.

Summary
Harry Potter had lived as a shell of a person ever since he arrived that faithful night as an orphan on the Dursley family's doorstep. A child that never laughed, never cried, and never wanted to. He went to school, did his chores, and went back to the safety of his cupboard. He had no friends, a family who never wanted him, and no emotions to really care about it all.
The only thing with substance in his life were the glimpses of gold behind his eyes when the night became too dark, and the sounds of faint laughter ringing out when his cupboard was too silent. He lived for these moments, as they were the only light in his life. That all changed on the eve of his 7th birthday . . .
