Summary
Just before his eleventh birthday, Harry is found in a dark London alleyway. He is subsequently taken to stay in the home of one Severus Snape until he begins Hogwarts. Harry isn't quite sure what possessed him to agree to this arrangement, and Severus has no intention of allowing Potter's unfortunate progeny to get under his skin, but this is a Severitus fic, we all know how it ends.

Summary
When Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter raises red flags for Severus Snape, he delivers the letter instead of letting Dumbledore handle it. Severus does not see a miniature James Potter when he encounters the scrawny child, drowning in clothes that don't fit and holding himself carefully away from his aunt like she might strike him at any moment. Severus is reminded only of himself.
Severus's choice to rescue Harry might damn him when Voldemort returns, or it might change everything.

Summary
There is nothing left for Lucius in England. Draco can't abide to even look at him. The Ministry is targeting him. He will always be known as a Death Eater and nothing else. His powerful blood, the blood of Valyria that has coursed through members of the Gaelba family for two thousand years, grows thin. Few even tell tales of the fall of Valyria and the way the elders of the family slit their own throats to strengthen the shield spells that allowed the Gaelbas to flee the Doom. No one tells of the persecution that forced them to seek a home on another world. Families have forgotten the spell stone that keeps those with the blood of the dragon on Earth. But it's time for Lucius to break that stone and send anyone with enough blood of the dragon to feel the spell back to Essos. It's time for the family to unite and go home.
