Summary
The Defense Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts is cursed. After years spent mitigating the damage, Headmaster Severus Snape knows this better than most. So when the Board of Governors insists on hiring the world’s most famous Quidditch star to take the post, he is less than enthusiastic.
When Harry Potter finally arrives — entitled, impulsive, and masking an injury that may spell disaster all on its own — Severus must reconcile his worst fears with a startling truth: Harry may be exactly the teacher the school needs.
A post-Quidditch career AU in which fame, survival, and grudging respect collide, and the line between headache and hero is surprisingly thin.

Summary
Nella Rose Potter, the Girl Who Lived.
Under the stairs at the moment, though not for long. She's about to receive a letter that will make things a whole lot worse before they get better.
***“I am not in the habit of returning house points once they have been lost, Miss Potter. Among us little people at least, choices have consequences. If that’s all —”
“It’s not that, sir,” she hastened to explain, surprising him once more. Most students were only too eager to latch onto anything that resembled a dismissal from his presence, and no one — ever — interrupted him. “I-I understand. I just… I live with my aunt and uncle, you see. They’re muggles.”
Snape didn’t answer, but the girl plowed doggedly on.
“Well, th-there was an a-accident at the end of the summer, sir. S-some of my potions ingredients spilled in my trunk, and I didn’t know w-what to do... M-my relatives thought I might get help at school?”
She swallowed hard, then reached into her bag and pulled out a horror of a textbook. The entire mold-stained cover slid off as she moved to set it on his desk, and a handful of ragged pages scattered as the book block landed on his desk with a damp thud.

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
AU where Severus Snape is tasked with retrieving Harry Potter from his relatives in the summer before the boy’s 5th year rather than the other Order members.
Note: According to cannon, the Dementor attack takes place on the 2nd of August, right after Harry's 15th birthday at the end of July, with his trial being placed on the 12th of August, 10 days later. In my story, the Dementor attack takes place on the 21st of July, and Harry's trial is the day after his 15th birthday, August 1st. I've done it this way purposefully, but wanted to include a note about it to avoid confusion.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction based on JK Rowling's Harry Potter series. I do not profit off of this work and it is solely for entertainment purposes.
More Important Disclaimer: I do not support JKR.

Summary
Heather Winters lost her wand at twelve and her husband at thirty-one. Now the American expat is at Hogwarts to teach wandless magic—a discipline most dismiss as impossible. Between skeptical colleagues, curious students, and shadows from her past, she's braced for a difficult year.
She isn't prepared for Severus Snape.
What begins as mutual hostility turns strange when a magical accident forges a dream-bond between them, bleeding memories and emotions across the line between waking and sleep. In dreams, they speak with a candor they'd never risk in daylight. In reality, they circle each other—sharp words, guarded truce, and a growing awareness neither knows what to do with.
As Sirius Black stalks the grounds and Dementors close in, Heather must navigate staff politics, protect her students, and untangle the truth behind the bond—while the man she swore to hate becomes harder to dismiss.
A slow-burn, canon-divergent Snape/OC romance set during Prisoner of Azkaban.
