I love "Harry is rescued from the Dursleys" stories but never found one that was quite right. So I had to write one myself.

Severus Snape finds something unexpected whilst hunting for potions ingredients. His life is changed for the better, and with the help of Lucius Malfoy, is set to free the wizarding world from BOTH Dark Lords. Harry/Draco, Severitis. Eventual slash.

Dark!Opportunistic!Harry. Severitus fic. Tom is Sev's Dad, too. Kind of Crack-y. Turns out it WASN'T Lily's love that saved Harry that Halloween night after all. Voldemort really should've made sure the brat wasn't an Inner Circle Member's kid before he attempted to kill him. In the Dark Lord's defense, though, how was he supposed to know Lily Potter might've committed Line Theft?

"T.N.T., I'm dynamite. T.N.T." When Potions master Severus Snape encounters an abused little boy with a lightning bolt scar and his horrid relatives, that's what he hears in his mind. How can he keep the boy safe and himself still in the good grace of one Albus Dumbledore? Eileen Prince, retired to a witches coven in the Hebrides, might be of help.

Harry spectacularly looses his temper at his trial before fifth year, issues an ultimatum to the entire Wizengamot, arbitrarily assigns Snape as his new guardian, and storms off to the Goblins for sanctuary... Oh and did I mention that he openly announced they had treated him badly enough that he was now willing to side with the Dark Lord? Let the chaos begin!

When an eleven year old Harry Potter is left alone in Madam Malkin's shop, the Malfoy family are the first ones to step in and take care of him. It doesn't take long for Harry, an orphan with little affection in his life, to begin to love them. But will they love Harry? Follow Harry & Draco through Hogwarts to see how many plans their initial meeting can change (eventual Drarry)

AU. There is no Boy-Who-Lived; Albus Dumbledore defeated Voldemort. Harry grows up as an ordinary boy—a very ordinary boy, with barely more magic than a Squib. He sets out to prove himself, but in private, because he doesn't want to see the disappointment in everyone's eyes if he fails. HPSS, building from a mentor relationship with Snape. Eight parts. COMPLETE.

AU. Thanks to the desperate actions of his wife, Fleamont Potter survived his dragonpox.

Set during OotP. When Harry falls ill in Snape's lesson, the last thing he expects is for the ensuing drama to unveil a deadly plot that could end his life once and for all...

When everything seems to go wrong at the end of his fourth year at Hogwarts, Severus finds himself in a place he wouldn't have expected.

Harry's twin is assumed the BWL. Harry is sent to the Dursleys' where he's saved by Snape at age 6. Harry James Potter is gone and Harry Hadrian Snape goes to Hogwarts at age 11. Best friend to Draco Malfoy, Harry must survive facing the family who gave him up and his first year. SlytherinHarry, GoodSlytherins, GoodMalfoys, MentorSnape, IdiotPottersDumbledor, GrayVoldemort

Angelique/Cedric Diggory, Angelique/SS.

Albus Dumbledore's actions set off a chain reaction that affects the entire wizarding world.

AU after year 5: After discovering the extent of Dumbledore's manipulations, Harry leaves Privet Drive to spend the rest of his summer changing, forming new friendships and is no longer the chess pawn he was made to be. Sarcastic and semi-dark Harry. Slash and OOC.

Why do the goblins do a strange test with Wizards that have a vault once they are over the age of 15? What does it have to do with Harry suddenly having even more Money? Watch how a spell Harry let the Goblins do in his former life gives him the chance to find love and a family including a brother. Sadly, his family is on the wrong side of this war. Or are there even more secrets?

A botched ritual, an irate Potions Master, and a series of magical chain reactions bring a new twist to the middle of Harry's OWL year... what's next? SLASH!, Vamp!Harry, SS/HP/LV TMR - triad, AO3 transfer, Rated M for a reason! COMPLETE! OOCness & Odd humor

A HP/DM fic; Dark Harry. Starts after the DOM battle; when Harry loses Sirius, he decides to drop his act of being the naive golden boy and shows his true nature. What will happen to the Light, and the Wizarding World, as a result?

Severus Snape has always been a bitter man, but why is this so? This AU fic explores what happens when the child he carried was taken from him and tragically disappeared. But when a first year muggle born is taken to Hogwarts early due to dangerous accidental magic, perhaps not all is as it seems. Better summary and warnings are inside. Mpreg.

Part 2 of The Days of A Flower: So, Severus survived the first year as a parent, the rest should be a walk in the park...right?

This story was inspired by a passage from the Deathly Hallows right before Snape dies. What if it was all different? What if Harry was rescued at 4.5 years. What if Harry was unable to fulfill the Prophecy? AU

Harry & Dudley flee an abusive Vernon to Severus Snape. Severus finds a new home for himself & the boys with dragons and hunt the Horcruxes from there. The dragons, especially one become their allies. Tom R is VERY different.

Suppose the Marauders torture hadn't driven Snape to Voldemort and he had been the better man. What would the future have looked like? Warning: may now contain DH spoilers.

Harry is rescued by a woman in a market and her sons when they accidentally discover the abuse he has suffered from the Dursleys. The world now has to deal with a wizard raised by one Agnes Brown.

AU. I started this story last year during panto season but didn't finish it. I've come back to it but abandoned the Cinderella theme. In this AU, Voldemort's soul became a disembodied spirit on Halloween 1981 but he had no Horcruxes, so when the spirit is disposed of he can't be resurrected. James & Lily are totally OTT in true panto-villain style. Snape wasn't a Death Eater.

She knew it wasn't good for her, standing here like this, waiting for something that wasn't there to appear. Something spectacular to happen between mis-numbered houses. Something to prove that magic was real. Eventual SS/HG. AU with purpose.

Snape scowls, Harry is an annoying twat, tea is served and Snape scowls some more

AU: Severus had enough serving two Masters during the last war. Now, he just wants to be left alone and keep people at more than arm's length. He refused to change for anyone, but the war had more than changed him. It had left him with a hunger for blood. [HG/SS]

Harry has a disasterous Summer with the Dursleys and is brought to Hogwarts early. In order to protect him, drastic measurs are taken and Harry finds himself living with one Severus Snape. AU Full Summary Inside

What if Severus Snape had taken Hermione Granger under wing secretly during her time at Hogwarts? What if Draco Malfoy really wasn't the bigot he let everyone think he was? (Follows canon mostly up until the end of GoF, and then detours off into AU territory w/Severus as father figure)

Harry was sick of it all. So when he catches Draco in Snape's private stores, he decides that he isn't going to stand back and let Draco lie about it. During the fight, a rare and unusual herb is hit, and Harry gets splashed with the concoction...and wakes up in his parent's fourth year! Determined not to be used again, he befriends a younger Snape and changes his name.

Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Minerva receives a letter revealing Severus Snape's biggest secret... and that secret's intent to enroll in the school Snape taught, just as Harry returns for senior year, too. DH compliant, still SS/LE and all the other canon pairings.

Harry is a survivor in the harsh world of his un-loving family. All he truly desires is to be a normal boy. It appears that Hogwarts offers all that he desires but he quickly learns that despite what he wants everyone else expects him to be a hero. This is Severitus, Hogwarts first year, AU. British spelling is used. Story is completely written so this will not be abandoned.

Harry's twin brother is regarded as the Boy-Who-Lived. No one is aware of Harry, whose very existence has been forgotten, except by the Potter house elves. When Severus Snape finds out about Harry, he sees this as a chance to escape Dumbledore's control. Captivated by the little boy, he takes it upon himself to give Harry the father he needs. SS/HP father/son relationship.

It's 5th year and Harry Potter has been facing crisis after crisis on his own. He has no one to turn to, other than his friends, but they can only help so much. Harry needs the legal right to protect himself from the abuses he is constantly targeted with. Follows OOTP, but all events occur 1st term. Mentor/bonding fic. Slightly AU Severus in the beginning/more as the story goes on

AU. Time Travel. Snape goes back in time, holding the knowledge of what is to come if he fails. No longer holding a grudge, he seeks to shape Harry into the greatest wizard of all time, starting on the day Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley. No Horcruxes.

Harry Potter was the younger brother to Henry Potter- the boy who lived. Neglected by his parents since he could remember, he still tries to make them proud. When the goblins perform their centennial vault inspection and students at Hogwarts are required to make an ancestry potion, what will be discovered? (AU, OOC Snape, Lily, James, Harry, containts Self-Harm and Suicidal themes)

Ron is being a prat and wishes Severus away to the Goblin King. When he refuses to go and retrieve him, Harry volunteers, because everybody needs to know that there's someone out there willing to fight for them. The Labyrinth proves a cinch, but the information Severus finds could change his view of the Man Who Prevailed forever. SSxHP, rather friendly Jareth.

crossover harry potter x Black butler well, if you think about it it isn't that illogical that severus snape could be a demon. A demon with two masters... ok no, this is absolute crack.

What he finds when he and his half brother arrive at Privet Drive will shake the potions master's world. Just to be clear, this is not a cross over with Thor.

A 5year old child dies at the hands of his family And to this day can be seen at the house in which he died. Will he be saved or will he be on his own forever? Warning: mentions of abuse

Not satisfied with "Deathly Hallows?" This alternate version of Book Seven was written at the same time that JKR was writing DH, but has a different take on the story and contains an account of Snape's most unique Halloween celebration.

An alternative ending to the DH. What if Snape became the Elder Wand's master? Voldemort gives Snape one hour to find Potter before setting his pet snake Nagini on him. When Snape and Harry meet face to face, Snape disarms him without knowing that Harry had the Elder Wand's allegiance.

Harry was sent to Azkaban after being framed for murder in the beginning of his 6th year at Hogwarts. While there, he unlocks the "Power the Dark Lord Knows Not". What will happen once his former friends know he's innocent? Watch the fun.

The price of freedom always comes at a cost, including to those left behind to pick up the pieces. What if some of those left behind weren't as loyal as they appeared, would they reap what they have sown or get off scott free?

This is my take on the highly cliched Harry has a twin who is mistakenly declared the BWL and Harry subsequently is ignored by his parents until the truth comes out. Right now this is a one shot though that may change. Rated T just to be on the safe side.

After fifth year, Harry knew he would have to make some drastic changes of he wanted to survive another year. With another prophecy looming and new friends to help him along the way, Harry will be in for an interesting year. Post OotP no HBP mild bashing
