I was inspired by the fan fiction Nest of love by rosette on AO3, and decided to make my own. 
Harry goes through a rougher than normal beating from his relatives before they leave him and go on vacation. This beating was so bad Harry's magic couldn't keep up and as a last attempt to save his life activated a rare gene deep in his blood. in doing so he sent out a beacon to two beings harry's magic deemed safe for him through a realistic Patronus sent out by his magic. In doing so this sent harry to a place that would heal him, and provide what he always wanted. A family.All Rights Reserved

Please... by that_1_theater_kid

Harry Potter is five years old now, though he does not look it. He looks more like a small four or three year old. But, that's not the end of it. The fact that none of his neighbors know he exists, that he sleeps in a cupboard, even that his parents are dead, is not the end, nor the worst of it. No, the worst, is his uncle. The reason he doesn't speak, look at anyone, barely even breathe. Each night, he hopes for someone to come and save him, but they never come. No matter how hard he wishes, how hard he hopes, it seems he will be stuck there forever, or until his slow, agonizing march to death ends. One night, after hoping and hoping, he starts to realize he will never get saved, helped, even comforted, for his entire life. What if he's wrong, and what if a certain Slytherin can heal this broken child? What if, in turn, this broken child can heal him? THIS IS NOT SNARRY!! If that's your thing that's fine, but HARRY IS FIVE IN THIS FANFIC!! NOT SNARRY!! Do not repost on any other website/account without my permission.

The Lesson Taught by Self-Punishment (Snarry) by RainisFalling13

Having a dormant creature gene ended up being the key to surviving Nagini's bite. The venom mutated his cells and his creature was awoken. The only trade-off; he had to mate soon if he wanted to survive. Now, while there might not be destined mates, the creature does choose another based on their strength and eligibility. When Harry came past the hospital to make sure Snape was okay, the creature flared up and chose him. Severus knows he can't be with Harry. But he will die otherwise. He says nothing and begins to deteriorate. Concerned, Harry demands to know what the problem is so Snape begrudgingly tells him. Harry is torn between accepting and not wanting to at all, but gives in, not wanting Snape to die after everything he'd done. Creature goal completed, Snape turns his back on everything and hides away. When news of Harry Potter's child hits the front page three years later, Severus' creature nearly dies, taking Snape with him. Only Harry can save him. But does he deserve it? (Obv Harry Potter and co belong to JK Rowling. I created the Elf though, and the child.)

Out of the Dark (Book #1) {Complete ✔} by DarinGeek

When I was little, my mother used to tell me stories about an ancient world that contained mystical and strange creatures -created by the gods it was supposed to divide the humans and the creatures. Her stories were mostly about brave Guardians that had the obligation of protecting the other world. This world was to be called the Portal World. As I grew up in difficult conditions I dismissed all those ideas out of my head. Tales are for children and nothing of it was true. Or so I thought. Until the day the guy I hated the most saved me from imminent death. *** Deep in my being an unbearable anger scattered itself through my body. I clenched my fists. A violent jerk started building up to my vocal cords. I gritted my teeth to keep it under control but in vain my lips began to move. "My life is not an Illusion!" The small crowd still gathered inside the café went silent as they all turned to see what was happening. I bit my lip in embarrassment. Jack slowly turned around and instantly met my eyes. "You'd be surprised", he stated with a disturbing twinkle in his eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for stopping at this book. I've put it through the process of editing it and it might take a while but I'll try to get it done as soon as possible.

Regulus x Marissa(OC) by Vestadabesta

Everyone saw me as perfect, I always had been my whole life. I was Regulus Black, I was raised to be perfect. I was everything that my parents wanted me to be. Pureblood, Slytherin, and the opposite of my brother. My brother was Sirius Black, known as the heart throb of Hogwarts. My parents hated him. He had been sorted into Gryffindor. He had been set free. I have always been jealous of him, he isn't stuck being controlled. He has forgotten about me, moved on completely. He once promised me that we would both escape together, but he broke it. How could I forgive him for that? He ran away over the summer and left me there. "Sorry." I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard that oh so beautiful voice. "Sorry Marisa, I didn't mean to bump into you!" Some random kid who I didn't know exclaimed. "It was my fault, I should have been more careful." Marisa smiled. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of it. Marisa was a Hufflepuff, and she was one of the most popular girls in the school. She was in the year just above me. She was another one of Sirius' friends. She is also the girl I've had a crush on since third year, but I've never even spoken to her. The harry potter world belongs to J.K. Rowling unfortunately

Love Of My Life - J.P by emillies_library

Baby you are the love of my life, Maybe you don't know what's lost till you find it Dorothy Kincade never anticipated that she'd fall in love with one of her best friend but some of the best things that happen to us are unexpected. ~Slow updates~ I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters I only own some of the original plot ideas and my original characters. I suggest this story is probably for 15+ because of some language and some themes implied later on in the story

Easier Than Trying - A Harry Potter (Drarry) Fanfic by PotterAnonymous

"Well, I did think of Voldemort, but then... I thought of the Dementors.." Remus sighed gently, a small smile plastered on his face. "Well, Harry, that's a good choice. What you fear, is fear itself." Harry gulped nervously. "W-Well.. I thought of something else..." ____________________ TRIGGER WARNING This story contains sensitive material that some readers may find makes them uncomfortable! Read at your own risk! ____________________ This is the story of the Boy Who Lived. He trusted, fell in love, fought, and won. How dramatic can I make this story? Let's find out. ;) ____________________ Depressed!Harry I will NOT make him suicidal. It makes me uncomfortable, and I'm sure it makes others uncomfortable as well. Abused!Harry In this story, Harry will be abused! In a lot of fanfics, the abuse scenes always play out weird, but I'll try my best to make them, well, not weird... OOC!Draco Draco will be in character in the beginning of the story, but the more he learns about Harry, he will start to get a little out of character compared to the actual story! SHIPS/LABELS: Drarry! Harry and Draco WILL end up in a relationship! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave! (There's a nice little back button in the top left corner reserved just for you ;) ) Severitus! Snape will be fatherly and protective of Harry later on! This is NOT Snarry! Severus and Harry are NOT in a romantic relationship! Childish!Harry! I feel that, since Harry hasn't had a proper childhood where he could run around and have fun, he'd be pretty childish. This means curling up with Severus (Hinting Severitus here) in front of the fireplace, making rash and stupid decisions without thinking, etc. Basically acting like a child would. WARNINGS: HOMOSEXUALITY! There will be two boys in a relationship here! If this is not your cup of tea, please leave now! ABUSE!!! Please please please, if you are easily triggered by physical abuse, do NOT read this story! Otherwise... Enjoy!!

Unseen Scars (Severitus) by XxXBlossom_GemXxX

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!

[] It Started With Coffee [] Severus Snape x Reader [] by iiYoshi

Love is difficult to explain as one likes to say. But (Y/n)(L/n) falling for her professor, Severus Snape? That was hard to believe. The girl always despised Potions and her professor as well. He was cranky, annoying, and never really liked any house besides Slytherin. However, with her N.E.W.T.s coming up, she had to ask someone to tutor her for help. Her friends were all busy focusing on themselves and couldn't help at all. So, finally, though she didn't want to, she asked Snape. Through countless tutor sessions and a few cups of coffee, the two became closer and closer.. Who would've imagined.. that the professor had more to him? Who would've imagined.. that the Potions Master could one day fall in love, and that being with his student, (Y/n)? A tale of two, in which their endings all started with coffee. ----- A/N : No smut, but does include dirty jokes and cussing, if uncomfortable please leave!

Veins of Fire by Destiel_067

In a world where magical creatures inherit powerful traits, Harry Potter discovers that he is a rare dominant creature-an Alpha with an ancient lineage that has long been forgotten. However, the discovery comes at a time when a dangerous imbalance threatens the magical community, and Harry's true nature begins to awaken. Draco Malfoy, a veela whose submissive nature is known only to a few, finds himself drawn to Harry in ways he can't explain. As the pull between them intensifies, Draco is forced to confront not only his own desires but a series of prophecies that bind him to Harry in ways neither of them could have imagined. With the world on the brink of chaos, their bond becomes a pivotal force in the struggle for dominance, love, and survival. Their connection is not only fated-it is the key to unraveling ancient secrets and restoring peace to the wizarding world. As their relationship grows, so does the power they share-an undeniable force that threatens to burn everything in its path unless they learn to control it together.
