Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

This is a story of what could have happened if the Dursleys had died when Harry was eight years old and Snape had taken over his guardianship. Warning, there will be parental, non-sexual spanking of a child. The sequel is started: Harry Potter, age 9.

This is a sequel to Harry Potter, age 8. Please read that story first, it will make things make more sense. This story is based on the idea that the Dursleys die unexpectedly when Harry was 8, and he is placed with Severus Snape as his guardian. This story will contain parental spanking, if that bothers you please don't read.
