Summary
After the events of his fourth year, Harry Potter finds that he is unwilling to suffer any more than necessary.
Nightmares of the graveyard are leaving him exhausted, stressed, and willing to do anything for a good night's rest. However much Harry might try, he can't stay awake forever, and he does not want to watch Cedric Diggory die every time he closes his eyes. If a potion can spare him that ordeal, then one dose can't hurt.
Then another.
And then a few more.
Unfortunately, some solutions come with side effects.

Harry had hoped that death was going to be peaceful. Opening his eyes to a new type of pain and suffering was not what he thought was going to happen when he walked into the forest. He had traded one hell for another. Or so he thought.

Summary
The summer after Harry's fourth year has become the worst of his life. The haunting memories of Cedric's death and Voldemort's revival were terrible enough on their own, but then came the strange visions of Death Eaters, the worsening pain in his scar, and the uncontrollable emotions that don't feel like his own. After fleeing Privet Drive, he finds himself stuck in an isolated cottage with his most hated professor: Severus Snape.

Snape mentors Harry, no slash.

Summary
"In horticulture, a perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years and returns year after year. Perennials are the foundation of a garden...”
Harry hated summer. He hated the Dursley’s house, he hated the weeks of starvation and heat, he hated leaving Hogwarts- the only real home he had.
And this summer had to the worst one yet. When the wards fall after an accident, Harry is forced to move into the dungeons of Hogwarts with Professor-fuckin-Snape, who is far too eager to pry into Harry’s past for his liking.
And the part Harry couldn’t figure out? On top of school, surviving dark wizards, and trying to master Occlumency, he’s like 99 percent sure he has a big, fat crush on this cute blonde in Gryffindor.

Summary
Suspension was supposed to be punishment.
Being sent to live with Lily Evans? That’s torture.Fifth year explodes after the lake incident, and the adults decide the Marauders need a “positive influence.” Lily disagrees. Loudly.
But grudges don’t stay inside school walls, and when Snape reappears where none of them expected him, the week spirals into something far worse than suspention.
Or in fifth year all hell breaks loose. The Marauders are having fun bullying Snape by the lake. Snape calls Lily that one slur. The Marauders, including Snape, get one week of school suspension.
What will happen when the Marauders spend their suspension at Lily's and see Snape at a local pub?———————————

Summary
One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.
Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.
On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.
It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.
Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’
Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.
‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’
He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.
And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.
Harry was done playing saviour.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.

Summary
Harry is having an excellent fourteenth birthday at the Burrow, at least until Dumbledore arrives with Snape in tow. Dumbledore informs him that he must be tutored by the Potions Master in both Defence and Potions for the rest of the summer, to Harry's great dismay, and so he is dragged along to Spinner's end.
Snape didn't anticipate spending his summer housing and tutoring the son of his late enemy, and he definitely didn't expect that the boy was really nothing like how he had always assumed, but as the days progress, both wizards will learn more about the other, either from a round of questioning...or from behind the other's back.
The first fic in a series of 500k+ words of slowburn severitus :}

Beyond the Blood Wards ~ Book 1 by SnapeIsMySpiritQuill

28 May 2025
Tags
Summary
It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.
Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:
Please help me.
He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.
“T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.
Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

Summary
The Dursleys have had enough and decided well, since Harry is now a teenager surely he can work for his own keep and sent him off to get a job as they will no longer be providing him with his needs (not like they did that anyway) and surely he can start helping pay the bills. Harry fortunately found a job that is nearby, a grocery store. As Harry settles in on this new routine he gets used it until one day on the checkout line he runs into the last person he wants to see.
"P-professor Snape?"
"Potter!"
For Harry it appears to be that things seem to be getting worse but finds that perhaps this is the start of something good.

Summary
Harry was angry.
Sometimes he thought that’s all he was: a ball of fiery rage, bottled so tightly that it exploded in regular intervals. Every other emotion glossed over. Anger was all he knew.
No, that wasn’t right. He also knew fear. Visceral, suffocating fear.
Or: Severus Snape finds out about the Dursley's
Classic Severus Snape becomes Harry Potter's parental figure fic. Mind the tags!!! I will continue to update them as I update the story.
