    Summary

    Harry Begins his fifth year at Hogwarts and his apprenticeship with Professor Snape.

    "Thank you, Professor Umbridge, for that illuminating speech. As I said before, we have two and a half changes to the staff, and we are pleased to announce an assistant has been added to our staff. Professor Snape, as it is only fair after letting Professor Umbridge speak, and given the popular demand expressed earlier, would you like to make the formal introduction yourself?"

    "I, Severus Tobias Snape, Master of Potions bronze level in good standing with the potioneer’s guild, Master of the Dark Arts fully registered and licensed to operate in all territories under the ICW, junior mediwizard, have taken as my apprentice Lord Harry James Potter, to guide in life and magic and work to further magical advancement," the announcement was met with gasps and chatter, but accompanied by much more enthusiastic applause than what Umbridge had received. Malfoy's jaw was hanging open, Zabini looked pale, Ron and Hermione were applauding loudly while the twins sang 'for he's a jolly good fellow.' At the Ravenclaw table, Boot was turning this way and that excitedly while Mandy was laughing through her applause.

    Summary

    Having survived first year oblivious to Dumbledore's machinations, but wiser to the world of wizarding politics and Slytherin Ideals, Harry Potter is eager to start his second year.

    Harry still wants to prove himself, while also coming to terms with the concept that he is worthy of unconditional love but that not everyone can be trusted.

    Draco still wants to be the best friend that he can, while also developing more of his own identity.

    Severus still wants a drink, while also grappling with the knowledge that the Dark Lord definitively knows he's a traitor, but as of yet, Lucius Malfoy does not.

    Summary

    Part 2 of an ongoing series of short(ish) stories set in a universe where Harry reacts very differently to the Dementor attack in August 1995. Harry returns to England in time for his 5th year and everyone reorients now that the Horcrux in Harry is gone and he is a much more active force in his own life. Takes Harry form Paris to Hogwarts. Needs the previous story to make sense.

    “You don’t have the faintest fucking idea what my mum’s spell was doing if you think it was killing that thing Tom left in my head.”
    “Harry my boy, this is a private…”
    “Get fucked, it’s a conversation about me and my choices so I’m making a personal goddamn appearance in it. You are supposed to give sick kids medical attention, not ignore them as they struggle to live with constant pain and misery until they self-destruct. Seems to me you are a bit confused about how that works, so maybe you should take a trip to Paris to get your own head shrunk.” None of the adults in the room were prepared for that level of hostility, and now Potter had worked up a full head of steam before they could get a word in.
