    Summary

    Young Severus Snape was intrigued by the other boy in the park. He was even more intrigued when he realized that the boy, Harry, was a wizard just like him. He taught Harry all that he knew of the wizarding world and made his first friend. They planned to go to Hogwarts together, to be in Slytherin together, to make friends and a home with people like them. They had no way of knowing the danger and adventures that awaited them at Hogwarts, but Severus knew they'd survive anything as long as they stuck together.

    This is a story of friendship and a story of survival. This is a story of Severus Snape without Lily Evans; of Severus Snape, best friend of Harry Potter.

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.
