Summary
On the thirty-first of October, 1980, Lily Potter filed a magically binding will naming Severus Snape as Harry's guardian. She placed him last on the list to convince James. She placed him first because she meant it.
Snape cannot refuse. He does not decide to become a father. He simply does the things that fathers do, one after another, for twelve years, until the doing becomes the thing, and the thing becomes permanent.
Dumbledore had a plan. Lily had a better one.
Blood was never the magic that protected Harry. It was love.

Summary
Two, perhaps nearly three, years after the fall of Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world begins to heal. But deep in the shadows, Bellatrix Lestrange still burns with the need to prove her loyalty to her vanished master. When fate places young Harry Potter in her path on a cold, storm-lashed night, she prepares to strike the ultimate blow of revenge.
And yet… she doesn’t.In a single moment of clarity, Bellatrix sees not the Boy Who Lived, not the symbol of her master’s downfall, but a child, bruised and neglected, cast away by the very world that claims to worship him. Driven by a twisted blend of vengeance, obsession, and something achingly close to maternal yearning, she steals him from the Muggles’ grasp, determined to shape him into something greater. Her own dark legacy.
As Harry grows under Bellatrix’s fierce and fractured care, molded by the shadows instead of the light, questions begin to stir within him. Who is he really? Savior or weapon? Pawn or player? As the years pass and Hogwarts looms on the horizon, the world teeters unknowingly on the edge of a future rewritten.
One boy. One woman. One night that changed everything.

Summary
Setting: 1987 – six years after the fall of Voldemort.
When it becomes clear that Albus Dumbledore is no longer capable of fulfilling his duties, it falls to Severus to take care of the orphaned boy Harry Potter. While he had initially assumed it would amount to nothing more than a visit every month or two, it soon becomes apparent that far more things have gone wrong over the past years than anyone had realized.Bookmarked by HazelnutLatte
