When Harry got hit by the killing curse, he thought that would be the end of his life. He was happy that he could reunite with his loved ones in the afterlife and be happy. What he got was waking up in a very dark place with a strange man sitting in front of him and staring at him. Please read the story to know what happens.

Severus Snape has agreed to take in Harry Potter during the summer before his Third Year. Temporarily. Just until the end of summer and not a day longer. But secrets about Harry's home life are being revealed and things are changing too fast for Harry to keep up. Can he and Snape survive their time together? If not, it's going to make for a very long summer. I've moved up the blowing up of Marge to the very beginning of summer. This is 100% an AU. Almost everything is different and you'll see that from the very beginning. Adding to say that it's so AU that Dumbledore and McGonagall are married (he's been aged down and there's a whole post about it) and they adopted snape when he was 14. This is apparently the thing that catches people the most off guard lol. Crossposted on ao3 and ffn under the same name.

Professor McGonagall didn't know that Hogwarts had a Failsafe.The Spell she used to protect the students triggered the castle to protect itself. It's been creating labyrinths. Some of the loved ones of the missing ventured in, never to be seen again. It's like they never left. Draco Lucius Malfoy, the verdict alteration comes with a stipulation that you must return for the rehabilitation of Hogwarts.
