Summary
Harry Potter reacts much differently to the Dementor attack on his cousin and it causes a cascade of changes in the lives of everyone he knows. He runs away to France to escape the English Ministry's bias and gets a solicitor (lawyer) to deal with his legal issues. Part one of a book 5 and on re-write that can be read stand-alone.
Featuring: Snape's POV. People making decisions for Harry without talking to him about it first. The Horcrux in his head influencing Harry's mind. Professional psychologists/mind healers doing good work. Snape using cannabis.
He would not go back to Privet Drive without bringing the law. He’d lose his temper and end up in Azkaban. Even with aurors at his back, he was likely to hex dear old Tuney into next week if he had to interact with her again. The fines would be worth it.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
When Severus Snape banked on being dead at the end of a war, it was as much of a shock as a burden to find out he was very much alive. He'd rather welcome oblivion and be known as a hero, than watch himself become a listless ghost of his former self. He never expected his Life After Death would contain much but living an isolated, quiet, life. Instead he somehow ended up returning to Hogwarts to teach, becoming involved in student affairs he'd rather stay far removed from, and most importantly, having copious amounts of sex with his old childhood enemy- Remus Lupin.
Recovery is a fickle and long road, and he certainly didn't expect his would involve accepting Remus as part of it.

Summary
Ever since the events of his fourth year, Harry Potter has been drowning. He’d already been struggling for years, and a mixture of fresh trauma, mounting pressure, and disturbing nightmares is pushing him closer and closer to the edge.
His friends see him falling apart more and more, but they’re powerless to help him. The adults in his life are willing to turn a blind eye to his ever-increasing issues, so long as they’re able to maintain their idea of a savior and keep their plans in place.When Harry Potter arrived at Hogwarts, Severus Snape's life became exponentially harder as he tried to field threats against a boy he didn’t even like and take up spy work again at the same time. With the return of the Dark Lord, Severus also suddenly had to work to protect his godson from the threat looming over them; if Draco fell into the Dark Lord’s hands like his father, he would never escape.
Severus is content to allow the obvious problems rising in Potter to be addressed by the boy’s other teachers, and the people who cared for him. However, as more issues arose and intensified, one thing became obvious: Severus may be the only person with both the power to help Potter, and the will to do so.- Language:

Summary
Defiance of authority and lack of respect did not source from Harry's arrogance, it came from something much simpler - love. The absence of parental love in his life made Harry remorseful toward those who should have cared. It was Snape’s turn to change Harry's mind.

Summary
Upon surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape is at a loss. For nearly twenty years, he devoted his life to defeating the Dark Lord and protecting Harry Potter. Now, with the war over and the Boy-Who-Lived safe, he finds he has precious little left to fight for — until a chance therapy session shows him that he ought to be fighting for himself.
With the war coming to a close and Wizarding Britain starting to rebuild, Severus starts on a journey to find meaning and joy in a life that’s given him little of either, discovering what it truly means to value himself and his own happiness.
(Translation in Russian at the end of the first chapter!)

Summary
As the summer stretches on, Harry feels a change within him. He hadn’t realized how hard he’d clung to his childhood innocence until it was ripped from him too soon. It died in that cemetery along with Cedric Diggory. He feels the gaping wound it left behind. It’s fleshy and tender and aching. Bitterness fills it.
What once was raw and vulnerable crystallizes into something much more solid and resolute. He imagines the weeping flesh around his heart becoming smooth, black marble.
OR
Harry is formally expelled from Hogwarts after the dementor incident at the end of summer. Upon his re-enrollment, he must suffer the sorting hat once more. Everyone he knows thinks it’s a ridiculous formality that will end with him being placed back in Gryffindor. Harry’s not sure he shares their confidence.Something has shifted inside him after the events of the graveyard; or maybe it’s been broken. Either way, he feels changed. This, along with other developments over the summer leave him wondering if he no longer fits into his old house. He’s got bigger things to worry about, though. Besides, what difference does it make, which house he’s in?
As it turns out, it makes all the difference.
