It all started with an unexpected meeting at King's Cross at the end of Harry's first year. The next thing Severus Snape knows he's stuck with the Potter brat.

You asked for more, so here it is. A oneshot collection set after Unseen Scars, featuring little glimpses into Snape and Harry's life that didn't make it into the main fic but refused to leave my head. Soft moments, bickering, and a father-son dynamic that will ruin you. You've been warned. DISCLAIMER: CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME!

Snape finds an abused Harry outside his home one night and everything changes.

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 traumatic events of his fourth year, Harry's summer takes a dramatic turn when a heated argument with his uncle causes him to run away. In an unexpected twist, Severus Snape is forced to take Harry in. As they spend more time together, Snape begins to see Harry in a new light, realizing that the boy may not be as much like his father as he once believed. Can a lifetime of animosity be healed over the course of a single summer? (Non-biological Severitus. Warnings: Child abuse and harrassment.) Inspired by a whole lot of great Severitus fics I've read. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME, THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OF JK ROWLING. Thank you for reading!
