    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

    Harry is removed from the Dursley home and goes to live with Snape. Harry expected the summer before his fourth year to be absolutely miserable and he planned on running away as soon as possible. But Snape is nothing like how he expects and Harry finds himself wanting to stay.

    Or: Stereotypical Severitus but Snape is nice from the start because I say so.

    I did steal the title from a Clash song, but now that I've said something it is magically forgotten.

    Not abandoned I promise just slow updates bc I’m making chapters longer :)

    Summary

    When Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts (and is sorted into Slytherin), he finds a family hidden in its walls. Between a sarcastic toad named Midas, a cautious circle of new friends, and a professor who is secretly more soft then spiky, Harry starts to realize that he truly can belong.

    As the year unfolds with flying lessons, trolls, and far too many secrets, Harry learns what it means to belong… and that sometimes, the line between friendship and something more is thinner than it seems — especially when Draco Malfoy is involved.

    (Also, Midas insists on commenting on everything like an overdramatic bard, and honestly? He’s not wrong.)
