  2. Summary

    These are just snapshots of the quiet times in between the demon-hunting and life-and-death struggles our boys are always in. They have to get some downtime sometime, right? They can't be on-duty all the time… Each story can be read as a standalone. Takes place in the same verse.

    Summary

    “Take a sip and trust your gut,” The man with the mustache said. “If you think you’re in need of a bit of luck.”

    As a general rule, Harry didn’t trust strangers, or the things they tried to give him, but he really needed to find Aunt Petunia.

    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

    “I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.

    “You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”

    “But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”

    “Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”

    Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
    OR
    Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought.
