Dunderhead - A Harry Potter story: Snape becomes Harry's mentor

Occlumency lessons have begun again, against everyone's better judgement, and Harry must suffer through Professor Snape's insufferable treatment of him. However, Dumbledore puts his foot down when Severus' temper goes a step too far.

Meanwhile, Delores Umbridge is fixing the school, terrorising students in her detentions, and generally causing misery.

To add to his generally chaotic year, Harry is left confused and conflicted further by the contents of a thin grey book. Luckily, Hermione's knack for piecing things together, and Ron's unapologetic desire to get to the bottom of life's problems, lead to results.

Above all, Harry's relationship with Severus Snape is altered by an accumulation of events. The two wizards muddle along together until, unconsciously, a bond is formed between them.

Chapter passage:
"Harry wasn't sure how mature it was to hang upside down off a couch with his best friend, having a conversation about what it would be like if furniture were kept on the ceiling, instead of on the floor. But in this moment he hardly cared. Several feet away were two stacks of books: - one Harry's, and one Ron's - and both had been placed there with the intent that they would encourage the boys in the completion of their homework."
