Summary
Overwhelmed by guilt and nightmares surrounding Cedric's death even months after the third task is over, Harry's mental and physical state are falling to pieces, but this time, for a reason unclear to him, Snape isn't there to pick them up.
After orders from Dumbledore warning him to stay emotionally distant from Potter, the Potions master can only help in the subtlest ways as the boy he worries so much about begins to crumble. His offer to teach Potter Occlumency ends in a fight that leaves them both hurt and angry, but a certain snake-perspective vision and Umbridge's unique punishments push them back together.
Recognizing that neither wants to lose the other, Harry and Snape both strive to repair their trust.
After all, things must get worse before they can get better.Series

Summary
It all began with a too-quiet Sunday morning, and within the week evolved into a hair-raising chase from Cumbria back to Surrey.
Harry Potter certainly never bargained for a relocation at the tender age of eight, nor to find himself under the custodianship of a curmudgeonly twenty-eight-year-old rock aficionado named Severus Snape.
Less parent than partner in crime, Snape at times seems as likely to tacitly encourage Harry's mischief as he is to take him to task over it. Perhaps, at that, a father-figure isn't in the cards...
Perhaps, just perhaps, Harry would be better served by a different sort of role model entirely.
