    Summary

    "Perhaps a man who wants to redeem himself in the memory of the mother would, in turn, give comfort to a child." Dumbledore grinned at the other man's unbidden expression of shock. "But when said like that, it hardly encompasses the depth of emotion when I see you have cradled Harry Potter to sleep after a nightmare." Severus scowled. "I was not cradling him."

    Summary

    Anybody who is familiar with the Potions and Snitches site knows that it's a site predominantly about various relationships between Harry and Snape - it has everything you could think of - except Slash.

    I found this challenge on that site, and it's called Just Pretending (For Christmas) :

    Severus is in big trouble. He doesn't have any kids, but he's supposed to be bringing his son to Christmas to meet his family, who he's been estranged from for twelve or thirteen (or more) years. Harry ends up being that pretend son.

    Summary

    “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” - Oscar Wilde
    What if Harry forgives Snape for all the hurt? How would Snape react to this? Snape has, after all, spent so much of his time wallowing in bitterness. Being forgiven is not something he expected. But what if Harry enjoys the reactions forgiving his enemies brings? What if he starts a trend?

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!
