Summary
Following the summer break with his new guardian, twelve year old Harry is returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year. But with the bloodwards transferred from his relatives’ home significantly weaker, it hasn’t been quite the fairytale ending he’d hoped for, and now there’s trouble brewing at Hogwarts too. Harry must navigate both paths simultaneously, but the darker forces at play soon find him questioning who he can really trust.
AU, Severitus, second year.
This is the sequel to my previous work ‘In Somnis Veritas.’
Thank you to every who read the last story and for your patience in my finally getting around to the second story!
This time you can look forward to longer chapters and a little more intensity than the last story, but you’ll still find some good old fashioned fluff along the way!Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Summary
Harry Potter was a weapon. Not because of a soul piece, or a talent, or sacrifice, or love. But because he was raised to be one.
He’s just… not quite the weapon Albus expected.
Harry is not the Boy Who Lived, but Dumbledore has big plans for him anyway. Also Snape did not want a child, especially not this child. But Harry has plans for him anyway.

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
Harry was angry.
Sometimes he thought that’s all he was: a ball of fiery rage, bottled so tightly that it exploded in regular intervals. Every other emotion glossed over. Anger was all he knew.
No, that wasn’t right. He also knew fear. Visceral, suffocating fear.
Or: Severus Snape finds out about the Dursley's
Classic Severus Snape becomes Harry Potter's parental figure fic. Mind the tags!!! I will continue to update them as I update the story.
