Rings And Ringing Bells [DISCONTINUED] by Scythela
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
26 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
“I always told myself that I would never end up like my mother, that I’d never love a man that only knew how to drink his sorrows and hurt those around him. I wouldn’t let myself bear these cuts and bruises for scraps of ‘love’ because I knew better. I thought I knew better.”
A bastardisation of a traditional love story. Two men both broken by the world are at wit’s end trying not to kill each other. There’s Severus, a bitter insult who does not take fools lightly, and Sirius, a drunkard who has a habit of pressing his buttons. It involves a curse which forces them to get married, an immaculate conception, and the blurring of the line between hate and love. They fear that they have no control over their lives and are doomed to make the mistakes their parents had done before them. They’re not good for each other, but the fiasco that is their romance may be enough to teach them how to hate each other and themselves a little less.

Summary
Instead of becoming Voldemort, Tom Riddle established a school of “secondary importance” for Muggleborns, half-bloods, and Squibs. Since the school frees Hogwarts to continue drifting more towards the purebloods’ whims and wishes, they haven’t raised any large fuss. Besides, everyone knows that half-bloods and Muggleborns don’t have any real power. Just look at Riddle, who had ambitions that outpaced his magical strength. They don’t see the revolution coalescing under the surface.

Summary
“I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.
“You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”
“But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”
“Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”
Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
OR
Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought.- Language:

Summary
As Severus is about to start his last year at Hogwarts, a familiar stranger encountered on the train platform spurs him to try, for one last time, to mend his lost friendship with Lily.
“Otherwise Harry will die”, they said.
Well. He has no fucking idea who 'Harry' is, and Black is a particular pain in his ass even post-graduation, but Severus just cannot run from a challenge, can he?
After all, winning a war couldn’t be that complicated.
The updates are for fixing grammar, typos and overall errors. @Nordremo my wonderful beta does it for me, as much as she did the summary.
The only new thing is the wonderful art at chapter nine.- Language:

Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Tags
Summary
At the end of first year, Harry pocketed the Philosopher's Stone- in a secret pocket that everyone else missed.
Now, two years later, Harry is in his third year, his friends are having the time of their lives in Hogsmeade, there's an escaped mass murderer running around, and Harry is going stir-crazy. Fortunately, the twins have a solution! Although- they're going to need something in return, and it needs to be good.
Good thing Harry kept that Stone, huh?
And then things go completely bat-shit crazy.
(featuring the Marauders vs 1993, an exhausted Professor Lupin, a bewildered Harry Potter, and an opportunistic Hermione Granger)

Summary
Harry is summoned to an alternate universe still suffering under Voldemort less than an hour after his own defeat of the bastard. Worse, he's not the first Harry Potter they've called on this way. Worst yet (at the moment), there is no way back home. But give Harry time, and he's likely to find something that's even worse.

Summary
Snape knows that, usually, keeping a secret is the bravest thing you can do. But sometimes the bravest thing is to tell one.
Complete. Canon (more or less) up to the start of Book 5, when this story begins.
JK Rowling's opinions on trans rights are very harmful and dangerous and have prompted me to boycott Rowling's work despite my past affection for the books. I'm leaving this fic up because I know some folks still like to enjoy Harry Potter, but I urge readers to consider doing so only in ways that don't give Rowling more money and power to spend on attacking trans people at a time when the whole LGBTQ+ community, but our trans members most of all, are in such danger. As fans of a series that is literally about fighting oppression, I hope we can live up to the message of the books rather than the ideas of their misguided author. <3

Summary
All rational thought leaves me at the sight of him, sprawled across my thighs with no way of getting up. A pulse of adrenaline tangles with the dark, desperate frustration I’ve been carrying for months, twisting and turning in my chest, and before I even have a chance to think about what I’m doing, I raise my hand and strike him, hard, across the arse.
