  Summary

  Before his second year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter has been sent to live with Severus Snape for the summer after he is rescued from his relative's house by Dumbledore and McGonagall. He is not excited in the slightest, but where else is he to go? Dumbledore promised he would never have to set foot on Privet Drive ever again. He doesn't expect Harry to live with Snape for the rest of his life, does he? When he arrives at Snape Manor, something shocks him beyond belief. His entire view and hatred of Snape is brought crashing down as he sees how normal the man is behind closed doors. Will Harry be able to adapt to his crazy and unexpected new life?
