Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Setting: 1987 – six years after the fall of Voldemort.
When it becomes clear that Albus Dumbledore is no longer capable of fulfilling his duties, it falls to Severus to take care of the orphaned boy Harry Potter. While he had initially assumed it would amount to nothing more than a visit every month or two, it soon becomes apparent that far more things have gone wrong over the past years than anyone had realized.Bookmarked by secularhobbies

Summary
After the war, Harry tries to convince himself that studying for his N.E.W.T.s is important, but his mind keeps wandering through dark alleyways and empty corridors. It's Luna Lovegood who finds him in the library, worried about the "grey auras full of Nargles" he's carrying.
Or: five times Harry and Luna kissed while counting stars, and one time they lost count entirely.
