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.

How One Little Thing Could Change Everything by Spazzumtard reviews

Unexpected by Captain Kathryn reviews
When Harry comes back for his second year at Hogwarts, Snape discovers he had been abused over the summer. A tougher, more in-character Snape than my other story. While Harry stays with him over Christmas break, the pair goes on an adventure together. Not Slash. Might not be guardian either, but really just a little drabble.

A Story of A Boy by WerewolfDoctor reviews
Before Harry leaves the wizarding world he goes to talk to Professor McGonagall. This is the story of that conversation, and what Harry does afterwards. Just a note - this isn't a 'Harry is bitter and angry and so leaves the wizarding world' (though I do love them) more of a 'Harry decides he can't live in the wizarding world any longer because of what they all assume he is'
