    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

    Icy rain washed down over Severus’s head and shoulders, but the sensation was nothing to the chill that snaked its way down his back. The dog stood on its hind legs, forepaws braced against the gate, its teeth bared in a silent snarl a mere hand’s breadth from Severus’s throat. This close, the intelligence in its eyes was no longer deniable. For one sharp, treacherous instant, Severus froze, wondering what, exactly, was standing in front of him.

    -

    Sent to investigate the failing wards at Number Four Privet Drive after his least favorite student turns his aunt into a helium balloon, Severus Snape finds himself saddled with a horrifically abused thirteen-year-old boy and an infuriatingly clever Omen of Death that sheds on the sofa. With a werewolf at the staff table, dementors encircling the school, and a crazed mass-murderer on the loose, Severus is surprised to find that he does not mind the entanglement as much as he would have expected.

    Summary

    *UPDATE*
    EDITED UP TO 7/13 (16 June).
    Hey all, this fic is NOT abandoned! I've been very sick for months now with Long Covid. Feeling better finally and have been working on my fic nonstop. I've decided I won't post more until I've written to the end of this "book", aka starting at Hogwarts. Then I will release weekly. Also re-editing (no beta, so it needs it ngl) to match my latest writing.

    UPDATES REFLECT RE-DONE CHAPTERS FOR NOW, NEW CHAPTERS ARE READY TO GO ONCE I GET THROUGH THE REST.
    Over halfway there, so bear with xx

    Set before Hogwarts, Harry triggers a wild magic gift that almost gets him killed by his unhinged relatives. Rescued from near death by a stranger with a resemblance to his dead mum, Harry ends up spending the year before Hogwarts on a weird and life-changing adventure. When he returns in the Autumn, he's different from when he left, assertive, brave, kind and sneaky in a way that almost defies the Hogwarts houses. Now, understanding the full truth of his magical heritage, he must navigate the coming years while struggling to get his wild magic under control. Oh, and the small matter of getting rid of Voldy too.
    Endgame Nottpott but super slow burn.
