Fluff, angst, family, hurt/comfort, and more. That's what you should expect from these oneshots. One chapter is one story. The summary of the oneshot is at the beginning of every chapter, so you can decide whether it interests you or not. :) NO ROMANCE. (Severitus - means Snape is either Harry's father or, in this case, adoptive father/guardian). Crossposted on ao3 and ffnet.

When Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts, he hopes to finally fit in, but soon finds comfort in the most unlikely person: the feared Potions Master, Severus Snape. As their bond deepens, Harry discovers hidden gifts that surprise everyone, challenging his destiny in ways he never expected. A tale of unexpected family, growth, and redemption.

While the wizarding world struggles with the return of Voldemort, Harry struggles with the death of Sirius and his own out of control magic. His summer before 6th year is unlike any other as he trains alongside the Order, grows close to Severus Snape, of all people, and learns of an unfathomable fate assigned to one Draco Malfoy, a fate he is determined to stop. As the world falls apart, it seems Harry's life may finally come together.

Harry had just ended his fourth year at Hogwarts. It had been his most unpleasant year to date. Cedric was dead, killed by Voldemort himself. Yes, Voldemort was back. As if this wasn't bad enough, Harry received even worse news. By Dumbledore's orders and "for his own good," he was now forced to spend the summer with one of the people he hated most in the entire world: the Potions Master of Hogwarts, Professor Severus Snape. Meanwhile, Snape was far from happy with this arrangement. He disliked children in general, and now, as if it wasn't enough punishment to see Harry's arrogant face all year, he was forced to take care of him during the holidays too. He wasn't a bloody babysitter. This summer was going to be... interesting.

After the blood wards collapse and Harry is cast out by the Dursleys, he's left without a guardian-just as Fudge circles, eager to seize custody. With little time and even less options, Dumbledore proposes his grand solution; Snape as Harry's new legal guardian. But a simple adoption on paper won't satisfy the determined Minister. To avoid Fudge's grasp, Harry and Snape must set aside their mutual hatred and act as though they're a devoted father and son. When he goes undercover with his life on the line and the Ministry watching for any misstep, Harry finds himself wrestling with unexpected emotions and begins to wonder, how long can a lie be told before it begins to feel like the truth? --- ! SEVERITUS. There is no romance in this story, the focus is on family relations and fake/pretend aspect. !

While patrolling the corridors of Hogwarts, Snape stumbled upon the Golden Trio in a closed women's restroom. It was then that he learned the secret of the boy who survived and radically changed his attitude towards him.

It took place after Harry Potter finished his first year at Hogwarts. He asked Dumbledore not to make him come back to the Dursleys but didn't tell him how bad the abuse was. Dumbledore just thought that it would be a chance to create a better bond between Severus and Harry. Therefore, he sent Harry home with Severus and during the stay, Severus discovered some horrible facts about Harry's home life. Contains: Bedwetting, nappy, pull-ups, physical, mental, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse ( not very bad but still, there are a few mentions of those) . If you don't like it, don't read it. I've read a few stories of this kind and I wanted to try. THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT MINE.
