    Summary

    The clock hit 7:55, and a knock sounded on the front door. Harry practically bounced across the room, honestly overjoyed to see whoever it was on the other side. No matter what, they were taking him away from the Dursleys, and that was all that mattered. He heard Vernon’s lumbering steps entering the hall, accompanied by the sharp click of Petunia’s heels, but he raced to reach the door first. A wide grin stretched his cheeks to their limits as he threw open the door.
    And the smile fell right off his face.
    Shrouded in darkness, fog swirling around the hem of his long, dark robes, face as dour as ever, and hair casting cruel shadows across his face, stood Severus Snape.

    Summary

    Severus has nothing to live for - nothing but his role in a war that will not be fought for years. But one morning he wakes to an impossible warning. His life, his House, and his family will never be the same.

    This is a story of family found and lost, of prophecy and past mistakes and promises unkept. This is also a story about crazy students, Christmas presents, bullying, betting pools, and blackmail. A life with so many stupid problems could only belong to Severus.

    Summary

    When his youngest child boards the Hogwarts express, Harry faces something he has not had in decades: time alone.
    The quiet should be a relief, he could take up a hobby, maybe work more (or less) - but instead, it leaves space he does not know how to fill.
    But he is Harry Potter, and so Fate sets him on a journey to not only find himself, but also a dead man and a place Harry longs for like the air he breaths: a lone cottage on the Greek coast surrounded by a beautiful garden.

    or

    Harry's journey to find Snape and the place he calls Home.

    Summary

    In the haze of the summer, Harry can hear the magpies chirping.

    Is it before or after it happens that they stop? He can't quite remember. It's a weird mixture of relief and horror, what he feels in the moment.

    He always told Dumbledore that something bad would happen if he went back to the Dursley's.

    And now something bad has happened.
    Like the magpies, like an omen of bad luck, he remains in violent prophecies once more.
