Summary
“And what did you say your name was?” He asked softly.
“I’m Harry Potter.” The recognition Harry had been waiting for leapt into Sirius’ eyes. Though, not one of jubilation, one of horror.
“What?” He breathed. “That’s not possible.”
This fic will be a dimension-hop story where Harry discovers a parent's love for the first time, healing from his past, and some wild plot reveals/Horcrux hunting mania. Takes place right when Bill/Fleur wedding is crashed.
ATTN: this is an action/adventure fic there will be little to no romance…you have been warned****************************
The title is inspired by that scene at the end of Order of the Phoenix after [SPOILER ALERT] Sirius dies:"Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human-"
"THEN-I-DON'T-WANT-TO-BE-HUMAN... I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE-"
"You do care," said Dumbledore. "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it."

Summary
"We have decided that it would be in your greatest interest to stay with-" McGonagall looked towards Dumbledore hesitantly. “Professor Snape,” she said finally.
In his fifth-year, Harry Potter learns that Professor Snape is to be his guardian, largely for his own protection as Voldemort rises to power once more. Against all odds, they eventually stumble past their rocky beginnings.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy's life begins to unravel following his father's exposé as a Death Eater. As the two boys cross paths, Harry and Draco realize that their interests may be more aligned than they’d ever imagined.
Falling under Snape's begrudgingly caring eye, can the pair set aside their rivalry and work together in secret?

Summary
Part One (OotP) complete.
Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.
Part Two (HBP + DH) in the works.
After a dramatic summer, Harry vows to focus on Dumbledore’s lessons, not his mother’s love life. Try as he might, he cannot ignore Snape’s increasingly suspicious behavior: covering for Malfoy, pathetically fawning over Lily, and pretending he doesn’t hate Harry. Lily throws herself into teaching and recruitment efforts but frets over Severus and his refusal to disclose the details of the burden Dumbledore has placed on his shoulders.
