Summary
On the first day of summer after 5th year, Harry is sure that he will have the longest, worst summer of his life. Still grieving Sirius and with thoughts of the prophecy, his only thought is to make it to Hogwarts in the fall.
His plans are ruined when a Death Eater attack leaves the Dursleys dead, the blood wards destroyed, and Severus Snape's cover as spy blown. Now, both are wanted by the Dark Lord and in danger. For their own safety, Dumbledore sends the two to a safe house, far to the north -- a cottage by the sea. There, Harry and Severus learn far more about each other than they ever dreamed.
(Post OoTP, but alternate HBP. Pure Severitus angst. No Snarry romance, but maybe a little Hinny. Not beta read or Britt picked.)

Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
