Summary
When Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides he can't be left to his own devices in Diagon Alley for the whole of August and sends him to stay with the only person available - one highly displeased Severus Snape.

Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.

Summary
As much as he hated it, Severus was nearly certain he was right. He met Potter’s green gaze and steeled himself to speak the words.
“Harry,” he whispered. “Your relatives were the ones who hurt you, weren’t they?”
It was as though the life went out of him.
Lily’s eyes turned dull and despairing. Glassy, pained, practically dead. Harry wrapped his arms around himself, shaking like a leaf. He looked ill.
“I need you to tell me, Harry,” Severus said in a strained voice. “Am I right?”
Severus prayed to every deity he could think of, hoping it wasn't true. He could still be wrong. There could be another option he was missing -
But the boy nodded.
