    Summary

    The second time Voldemort strikes Harry Potter with the Killing Curse, it fails in a new way.

    This time, instead of ending a life, it creates one.

    The eyes are Harry’s, obviously. The texture, the wildness of the jet-black hair, that’s Harry’s, too. A trait from Lily, a trait from James.

    But the rest… The shape of the face, the nose, the mouth… The more Harry looks at the boy’s sleeping face, the more he sees Tom Riddle in miniature.

    A trait from Lily, a trait from James…

    And the rest from their murderer.

    Summary

    This is a Snape mentors Harry (Severitus) story centered on a disciplinary mentor dynamic in which corporal punishment is a core theme.
    After Voldemort's return in the graveyard in Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore asks Snape to take a more hands-on role in protecting Harry, starting by giving him Occlumency lessons earlier than in canon. This is soon expanded into a broader mentorship, initiated by Snape with the goal of protecting Harry more effectively.
    Snape grows to care for Harry, and Harry slowly comes to appreciate Snape — though their relationship develops gradually, with significant tension, conflict, and setbacks. The threat of Voldemort and Snape’s concerns about Harry’s recklessness shape their dynamic, keeping Snape rigid and demanding for much of Order of the Phoenix. The story will remain close to canon during the fifth year, then diverge more substantially in years six and seven as their mentorship deepens.
    Content Warning: This story centers around the theme of corporal punishment of a minor within a mentor relationship. If that sounds potentially triggering, then this is probably not the best story for you, as it will be a central plot point and not something that can be easily skipped around.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.
