Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
The summer after Harry's fourth year has become the worst of his life. The haunting memories of Cedric's death and Voldemort's revival were terrible enough on their own, but then came the strange visions of Death Eaters, the worsening pain in his scar, and the uncontrollable emotions that don't feel like his own. After fleeing Privet Drive, he finds himself stuck in an isolated cottage with his most hated professor: Severus Snape.

Snape mentors Harry, no slash.
