This is a community for all those stories, long or short, complete or incomplete, in which Harry finds a mentor in one form or another, be it Snape, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, McGonagall, a Weasley, or even an OC. Some of the stories have the mentor relationship as the main theme, but others cover wider issues such as abuse, parent/son relationships, and the little matter of defeating an evil and powerful Dark Lord.

Eyes Open by Apprentice08 reviews
A one-shot that I may expend later but doubt it. Severus finds Harry in a bad spot and ends up saving him because of similarities to his own torment as a youth. They talk and share with each other and slowly grow a small amount of respect for each other. Based on the song Eyes Open, which I feel fits with Harry very well.*Has become a random drabble so expect different story lines.
