Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Four starts on 9/1/20. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

Sirius babysits and Severus bakes cookies. Neither of these things is strictly true. Ch. 3: The Hounding of the Basket-Case: Sirius faces himself, and Severus does not run away. Both of those things *are* strictly true. (Just... not entirely.)

Deaged to 12 and sent to Grimmuald Place for the winter holidays, Severus struggles to stay out of the way of the people he shares a mutual hatred with, but certain nosy Gryffindors and manipulative Slytherins aren't letting him. With war on the horizon, Severus must decide where his loyalties lie and who to trust if anyone. After all no one truly cares for him, right?

As the Order knows full-well, only the pure of heart can cast a Patronus. When Snape saves Harry from the dementors and reveals his doe Patronus, the Order have reason to trust their spy. Snape knows that he could aid the war effort with his logic and ingenuity, but will the Order trust him enough to accept it? Order of the Phoenix, Snape-centric AU

Britain, 1980. No one cares what's fair when their people are on the line. Truth would be subjective even if everyone told it, and this is a Slytherin war: smoke and smiles, masks and mirrors. CH 137: Horace Slughorn and the Confederacy of Dunces. AKA: If Severus doesn't kill Albus two decades too early by the end of this chapter, then fandom surely will.

Hermione has never shied away from a confrontation with Rita Skeeter, and she's about to find out why she should have. But perhaps through all of the lies and the lines, she can find something truer than she ever thought possible.

After Voldemort's demise, Harry and his friends set out to piece together the life of Severus Snape. What sort of man was he really, and how did he get to be that way? Was he a hero or a cruel teacher who teased a child about her overbite?

Hollis Potter, with grim determination, walks into a battle that will make or break England - and affect the World War raging around them. The outcome is surprising, even for her, and she is left with nothing to do but adapt. TimeTravel / FemHP [Cross posted on AO3 under Meg NeverMore]

With the Slytherins gone and Voldemort rising to power once more, the Hogwarts staff is left to deal with the remaining students and the everyday strain of running a school. But the war goes poorly, and what should be a time for unity may find their friendships tested more than they ever thought possible.

Milo, a genre-savvy D&D Wizard and Adventurer Extraordinaire is forced to attend Hogwarts, and soon finds himself plunged into a new adventure of magic, mad old Wizards, metagaming, misunderstandings, and munchkinry. Updates monthly.

Post war. Being an Auror is really not a glamorous occupation. Diversion after HBP.

AU, girl!Harry story. As Voldemort's power grows, Harriet has to navigate a path to adulthood in the shadow of war. Snape begins to understand that not only does he have a heart, but it may be under the greatest siege of his life. A continuation of 'The Never-ending Road,' beginning with Order of the Phoenix. Future Snape/Harriet.

/Crack/ A fourth Champion is chosen by the Goblet of Fire. It is not whom Barty Crouch Jr. was expecting.

Harry Potter catches Voldemort's AK to the noggin only to find out that his life is a video game and he forgot to save. So what does he do? Does he return on Hard mode and work for the challenge? Heck No! Harry uses every exploit, grind, or underhanded tactic he can get his hands on. His life may be a video game, but nobody plays Harry Potter. HIATUS

Dispatched to keep an eye on Severus Snape while Harry went with Dumbledore to retrieve Slytherin's locket, Hermione Granger's life tumbles into chaos when Death Eaters invade Hogwarts and her covert operation takes a mysterious detour.

Harry Potter's new ability allows him to see a new side of Severus Snape. But does he really want to know what lies beneath the surface? AU

Dying with those wonderful green eyes filling his vision, Severus Snape travels to the afterlife to be given an offer by Dumbledore: a chance to return to his tortured past to have a second opportunity at life. Awakening at the moment of his worst memory, can Sev conquer his teenage demons to become the bravest man ever known by the one he TRULY cared for, Lily Evans?

Harry's now going into his 3rd year again & it's getting complicated. Sirius still escaped & Harry has to deal with Slytherin politics & some extra timetravel on top of old drama. Rescuing Sirius is the number one mission, but things keep reverting & Harry is worried he can't change a Thing. Dumbledore/Goodguys bashing. 3rd in series. Rated M coz I'm paranoid. It all belongs to Jo!

There is something at work in Severus' soul, something he doesn't understand. When it manifests in an unusual form, the conundrum becomes this: can the creator love the creation?

When a young Auror recruit badmouths a certain Potions Professor, he learns exactly why the Aurors thought that the man was practically the greatest thing since sliced bread despite his character flaws which were too numerous to count. To them, Snape's "Winning" personality was a gift that kept on giving (and not in the venereal disease sense of the phrase).

You've got to feel for Minerva McGonagall after the Battle of Hogwarts, really you do.

AU. When Lily died, Snape removed his heart and replaced it with a steel trap. But rescuing her daughter from the Dursleys in the summer of '92 is the first step on a long road to discovering this is less true than he'd thought. A girl!Harry story, covering CoS - GoF. Future Snape/Harriet. Sequel "No Journey's End" (Ootp - DH) is now posting.

Hermione Granger awakes to find an intruder in her room, and doesn't quite know what to do with him. Or how to keep her bloody cat from eating him. SS/HG

Albus Dumbledore has one greatest regret.

Sixteen-year-old Severus leaves Hogwarts to attend school in the U.S., and possibly pursue a new life. But what of the growing darkness back home that threatens Lily and all he's ever known? (This story is an AU and does not follow HP canon!)

After Severus Snape's death, Shacklebolt finds a pensieve filled with the 'true memories' of Severus Snape. Severus Snape- not triple agent, but quadruple agent, for a third, unknown, side. What else will he discover about the past he never wished to know?

[Old Version, not editied or updated. See profile for notes] In which Remus develops a sudden interest in the wolfsbane potion and it's creator, Severus would rather be left alone, and Albus tries his hand at matchmaking. Voldemort is a bastard, Lucius Malfoy jealous, and Sirius mostly confused. Companion piece to "Smoke"/can be read alone. AU-ish, slash, notes inside.

There was something wrong with Steve Rogers. Steve knew it, and he felt transparent, like glass, like everyone else knew it, too. Like they could tell just by looking at him, by the tabloid photos of him suspiciously bereft of a girlfriend. Tony tries to help him. It doesn't go well. NOTE: This story would be spoiled by warnings. They are included at the end only.

Magic can solve all the Wizarding World's problems. What's that? A prophecy that insists on a person? Things not quite going your way? I know, lets use this here ritual to summon another! It'll be great! - An eighteen year old Harry is called upon to deal with another dimension's irksome Dark Lord issue. This displeases him. EWE - AU HBP

Snape is tasked with disposing of a boggart. One-shot.

Neglected in favour of his younger brother, Harry Potter always was dissatisfied. His Parents and their friends fawned over Thomas, no matter what the older brother did. Harry upped and left; why would he have stayed? 6 years later, Harry Potter found a new home. The boy is in the middle of it all, though. What will his role be? Where will his allegiance lie?

Not much gets past Minerva McGonagall. Quick-witted and powerful, she prides herself on being able to tell who's good and who's evil. Yet, when it comes to her colleague, Severus Snape, she's always had her doubts. Certainly, she trusts Dumbledore's judgment, but when Dumbledore is suddenly gone, she is left to make her own observations.

In a world where he never met Lily, Snape becomes the next Dark Lord. After death, Albus Dumbledore goes back in time with one simple goal, knowing the fate everyone on Earth hinges on his shoulders - save Snape, before the world is past saving. Through a series of visits to the public library with a young psychopath, can he complete it? Time travel, AU.

AU. The best place to start is at the beginning, and Harry supposes it all began with the mysterious Professor H. J. Prewett. Years 1 through 7.

After losing everything and on the run, Harry will do anything to keep Teddy safe, even if it means to travel back in time. He hadn't counted on their family growing, but Dark Lords, noisy old wizards, werewolves and much more keep uprooting his peace. Slash. EWE.

Severus Snape doesn't know what secrets can hurt him. What happens when The Muaraders take a few pranks too far? What secrets are they keeping?

Snape tells the Gryffindor OWL class about the first Wizarding War against Voldemort. They are confuzzled. Not Humor, but there are humorous parts. Read the Background as this is part of a larger story I have in my head but probably will not type and publish. As always, I really do own the characters. See profile for more information on the homeschooled, American JKR. Reviews nice

SEQUEL TO "WHAT IS RIGHT"! The summer before Harry's second year brings a lot of changes. His knowledge of the future is not always helpful. Strange things are happening, and he doesn't know what to do.

Harry Potter loves, and is loved by, his parents, his godfather, and his brother. He isn’t mistreated, abused, or neglected. So why is he a Dark Wizard? NonBWL!Harry. Not your typical Harry’s brother is the Boy Who Lived story.

When he learns that flying anywhere near a Dragon is a recipe for suicide, Harry tries a last minute change of tactics, one designed to use the power of the Bureaucracy forcing him to compete against itself. Little does he know that his solution is its own kind of trap.

Other people always seem to be in awe of Spock's perfect poise and control. But then, those people don't have access to his reports. Humor.

The year is 1934, and Superman has arrived in Metropolis. Features Lex Luthor as the villain protagonist as he comes to grips with the arrival of an alien god. Occasional point-of-view chapters/sections featuring Lois Lane. Takes place outside any established comics continuity. Complete.

In which the Dark Lord is Not Impressed, Lucius wishes he was not the "responsible one", Severus demonstrates his intimidation skills, and, of course, there are explosions. Many, many explosions.

Captain Kirk thinks he has a comfortable working relationship with his new Vulcan first officer, but he can't really see them as friends.

"He's never worn a ring before. At least not that I've seen. Why is he wearing a wedding ring?" "It's his anniversary." John stopped dead. "Mycroft is married?" Silly little crossover drabble I couldn't get out of my head.

Even if Lily's parents had survived the war, Dumbledore wouldn't have given Harry to them for the very same reason that the Evanses had been proud to have a witch in the family.

Harry is always overshadowed by his brother, Avery, who was the Boy who Lived. That was why he ran away. The twins met up during Hogwarts and a rivalry was made. Unbeknown to all, Harry had plans and they affected the entire wizarding world. Powerful!Harry.

Severus Snape has a secret. Just what is that secret and what will happen once Voldemort and the Order finds out about it? starts beginning of Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and may contain Serius/Severus later on. Mentions of rape and abuse. Two things I do not approve of.

The Romulan Commander is almost a reflection of Spock's own father, Spock thinks, and he marvels over the resemblance right up until the Romulan ship explodes and the paternal bond he shares with Sarek is abruptly, sharply snuffed out.

ON HOLD: AU. Starting out at the beginning of GOF Harry's feeling uneasy about leaving Sirius on the run, and that his 'adventures' take up all his choices in life. his responses slowly change the plot completely. NOTE: I own nothing! J.K. Rowling is an amazing author - I am just having fun playing with HER characters and plot. I have definitely taken some direct quotes! forgive me

One-shot. In times of war, desperate measures must often be taken – "for the greater good", some would say. But all things have side effects, as Minerva McGonagall discovered once all was said and done. No pairings; deliberate reading against authorial intent (as always).

A HP short story. Did Lily Evans really marry an arrogant, bullying toerag and die in 1981? Was the Dark Lord really defeated by the power of love? Maybe we only saw what Lily and Severus wanted us to see. SS/LE. Not inconsistent with canon. Angst minimal.

"A new trick. They were just trying to fool him again. He would not be taken in by this, he would not." Spock knows he can't have been rescued. It's just another cruel, cruel joke by Captain Kirk of the ISS Enterprise. Sequel to 'Shattered Mirrors'.

One-shot. Severus Snape has had enough of surreptitious laughter – enough to explain to Remus Lupin every last reason his "prank" was a stupid idea. No pairings.

When Snape is cursed with a memory hex, Harry learns that his father and friends were only a very small part of what made Snape the bastard he grew up to be.

Odd, really, that a man so darkly experienced could prove to be so very innocent.

This is my version of the accident of the Shrieking Shack, and what follows. What if James Potter didn't arrive in time? What if Severus was prepared to face a werewolf? What if Dumbledore is forced to give justice? Lives are changed, and with them, Fate.

On that fateful day, two Potters were born. One was destined to be the Boy-Who-Lived. The other was forgotten by the Wizarding World. Now, as the Triwizard Tournament nears, a strange boy is contracted to defend a beautiful girl.

How much of what you are depends on your environment? If everything changed, who would you become? Harry Potter is about to find out. If it would save everything he loved, could he become a Dark Lord?

With one question posed to the Sorting Hat, Harry Potter's life changes completely.

Every time Severus kisses someone, they end up dead.

A rather awkward meeting between the head of the Order of the Phoenix and his most valuable spy unexpectedly becomes a job interview. No pairings. Oneshot, seqeulish 'Voldemort Wants You to Eat Your Vegetables' now up

Severus wakes up in the afterlife expecting something rather different than being almost-seventeen again. Seriously, what kind of game is this? But wait - Lily's come back, too - from 1981? Perhaps it's a second chance... but to do what? SS/LE

An injured Harry and an exhausted Severus are trapped in a forest, hunted by Lord Voldemort and waiting for Albus to rescue them. But when Albus must choose between them, things take a frightening turn. Severus, Harry, Albus centric.

One-shot. Professors Snape and Dumbledore test the defences of the Philosopher's Stone. No pairings.

Being Harry's slave is better than Azkaban. Being Snape's owner is probably worse...

Harry didn't think life at Privet Dr could get any worse, until Snape showed up, half dead and bleeding on the Dursleys' new floor. Starts summer after OoTP, keeps everyone in char, follows canon, or what it could have been with a summer like this...

Three years after the Dark Lord is defeated in 1981, something happens to Severus Snape. Albus Dumbledore is left to deal with the consequences-and a man who was left with the Dark Lord for five long years... ABANDONED

"And suddenly he's laughing. Hysterically. Because it's inconceivable, implausible, and ludicrous that Severus Snape, of all people, would betray their Lord...and yet..."

Lucius hears a rumour about Snape and decides to investigate if it's true. One-shot. R/R please

When Hermione realizes that her relationship is going nowhere, she chooses to drown her irritation in coffee and a book—and ends up running into the one person who has no compunctions about making his opinions known.

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Recruiting Severus Snape into the Death Eaters was anything but normal. Lucius never could understand how he became one of the Dark Lord’s most trusted, it wasn’t like he’d done anything but cause problems. Slightly AU one shot.

It's Lucius' wedding day, and Severus has a confession to make. *Mild Slash*

Sometimes we say someone should "take a chill pill." The wizarding world has a real equivalent: the Calming Draught. So why did Snape never think to consume one himself? One shot.

When Snape is challenged by Sirius Black to show him his best trick, that's what he does. But it isn't quite what everyone expected ...

From the bottom of his heart, Albus Dumbledore wishes that his feelings for Severus Snape were reciprocated. Seven reasons for their love. AD/SS slash. DH spoilers.

Severus Snape had a thing about buttons. One he would never ever admit to. All characters belong to J.K. Rowling. By Miriam, please R&R.

Albus Dumbledore has a knack for ensuring that Severus Snape remains loyal. AD/SS slash. SS/NM. Dubious consent. DH spoilers.

You'd be the Bloke Who Survived, then, Spike said, studying the young man he'd just been made responsible for. Post NFA, AU after HBP.

Charlie W. x Severus S. Charlie becomes fascinated by a certain unapproachable Potions Master, but puts his feelings aside for later, for the time after the war...

This is a plain silly humour fic about the events of Valentine's Day in CoS. Lockhart makes a pass on Snape, who would rather face the basilisk instead. Minerva has a word or two to say about it. A little slashy, a hint of MMSS, and a lot of pink confetti

Do you consider yourself a good man, Mr. Snape?

Snape turns himself in after the war ends

You could have saved them, if you had taught them better. In the end, no matter how many people try to forget or attempt to cover it up, they will only ever be four vicious boys… who got what was coming to them.

A chance encounter in Diagon Alley and Molly finds her life resting in the hands of Severus Snape. And she's in for a lot of surprises during this one night... happily disregarding HBP

SnapeDumbledore slash. Good things come to those who wait.

Voldemort plays mind games with Snape with unexpected results

Severus Snape confronts Albus Dumbledore after The Prisoner of Azakaban.

Unguents, Oils & Apothecary: Severus Snape's shop was famous for the worst service in Diagon Alley. That is, until his assistant finished eighteen months in Azkeban.

BLOODY BRILLIANT Award Winner. Who but Severus would write a song that insults every house but his own in polysyllabic rhyming couplets? If Rowling were in her grave, she'd be spinning..
