Summary
Severus pauses, gauging his surroundings with his senses, not yet reaching for his wand. The boy is near, he can hear the slight hitch of breath, can almost see the shape near the water-swollen stream. The rain continues and the trees appear as inky skeletal things before him, dripping and shining in the moonlight that wavers in and out of dark clouds.
Harry runs away and Snape is sent to find him.

Summary
Winter break of Harry’s first year at Hogwarts brings awful memories of his life with the Dursleys and new stresses in the forms of Quidditch rivalry and wizarding biases. Still trying to figure out what Hagrid’s three-headed dog is guarding, Harry’s also struggling to adapt to a world that he didn’t know existed mere months ago. When fighting between the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams gets out of hand, Harry suffers because of it and Snape must help him begin to heal.

Summary
Sometimes surviving means more than withstanding what is fated to occur. Sometimes it means finding a safe place to hide, or facing death to protect another’s life.

Summary
“Yeah, I get it,” Harry said raggedly, looking away from Snape’s fierce gaze, “I just…it’s not safe for you to do that. I could hurt you when I’m like this – I have hurt you before.”
Snape jerked his head in a dismissive gesture, “hardly more than a few bruises, Potter. I can’t expect you to recognize me when you are in this sort of state, you don’t even recognize yourself. Occlumancy is the only solution to drawing you out of your suffering. I will not argue with you about it again.”
“You could die,” Harry protested quietly, looking up at the man and feeling the edges of the wooden chair press into his thin shoulders and back, “I’m not a child anymore, Snape, I know that this could kill you.”
“Then it kills me,” Snape responded flatly.
