    Summary

    Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

    Summary

    When Harry is forced to endure a summer under Snape’s care, he’s uncertain he has the will to bear through whatever his professor has in store for him.

    With the ghost of Cedric over his shoulder, the echo of his relatives’ treatment ringing in his ears, and the absence of anyone he thought still cared about him weighing on his chest, he knows that with just a little more pressure he may totally crumble.

    As Harry is plagued by the many consequences of Voldemort’s return, Severus attempts to suffer through the burden of arming the boy’s mind against his original master, all while continuing his subterfuge at the Dark Lord’s feet.

    When a connection of consciousness is wound between them, and certain truths about Harry are revealed, they have no choice but to bend to the consequences, and hope they emerge on the other side better for it.

    -

    A classic slow build Severitus fic with alternating perspectives between Harry and Severus, a unique take on Occlumency, and a lot of angst.

    Summary

    When the Ministry of Magic came up with a rather brilliant solution to the population crisis - pairing up young unmarried witches and wizards with the purpose of procreation, Hermione could hardly believe it.
    She certainly didn’t imagine that the first marriage proposal she’d receive would come from none other than Draco Malfoy.
    What she’d never in a million years have dreamt was... that she’d actually accept it.

    ***

    A marriage law story with the main focus on pregnancy and the development of their relationship through the unusual start of their life together and the baby on the way. High on domesticity, fluff and smut, low on angst and miscommunication - just enough to spice things up.

    ***

    This is Part 1 of their story and it's from Hermione's POV.

    Summary

    Sequel to Alium. You'd need to read that first for this to make any sense.

    It had been a whirlwind of a few days, despite Severus having been at the castle for longer than usual over the summer. He was ahead in his brewing but behind in updating his lesson plans and making his timetable for meetings with the Slytherins, and then there were the usual pre-term meetings that Dumbledore insisted on holding. Keeping an eye on Harry over the summer had not been quite as onerous as Severus had feared, but the new puzzle of his horcrux, in addition to fitting in increased Death Eater duties to excuse his limited availability, had proven to be a substantial drain on his time.

    Harry's sixth year begins, but with full awareness of the horcrux in his head and with Snape at his side.
