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.

Amidst startling revelations, Snape's bitter denial of fatherhood drives Harry to the brink. A harrowing journey of healing unfolds as they confront their intertwined destinies, battling inner demons to forge an unbreakable bond, reclaiming love from the ashes of despair.

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!

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

What happens when between Harry's 5th and 6th year summer the Dursley's go a little too far and Harry gets spit out of His professors fireplace? How will he deal with his grief over his recent godfathers death? Or even the prophecy? How will his friends react? Will new friends be made and some left behind? This is a severitus story. Which means that Snape is gonna end up being a father figure/mentor to Harry but it is NOT snarry related at all. ✔️= been proof read This is a fanfiction, meaning I don't own anything, the characters and nearly everything else is owned by jk Rowling (Not drarry or Snarry) *REALLY* Slow updates
