    Summary

    Draco Malfoy is not raised at the Manor.

    Instead, he grows up as Draco Black between two very different guardians: Severus Snape, precise and unyielding, and Sirius Black, reckless and stubbornly devoted.
    Make of that what you will.

    With Lily Potter and James Potter alive, the war ends differently. There is still Hogwarts. Still Ministry politics. Still all the usual problems, including exams, expectations, and making consistently questionable life choices.

    This series follows Draco growing up outside the life he was meant to inherit.

    Drarry begins in Part 4 for those who wish to skip ahead.

    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!

    Summary

    A five-year-old wandered into Hogwarts one day, looking at the shocked faces, but not stopping-until he got to the Head Table. The boy blinked at each face, before he stopped in front of a man with long dark robes, shoulder length black oily hair, and a hooked nose.

    "Severus Snape?" The boy asked, receiving a curt nod in return. "My mum told me to find you, she said you would know what to do with my body."

    His voice was soft spoken, but everyone heard the boy. "Your body?"

    "Yes sir. It's being protected right now, but I was sent to get you as soon as possible. She said hurry, that the protections wouldn't last much longer."

    "Son, there must be a misund-" the man was cut off by a drop in temperature. The boy was glaring.

    "She told me not to talk to you; you're not a good man." The boy turned to Severus once again, ignoring all of the other professors. "I would like to go now, before they try to do something unsatisfactory, if you have the time. Regardless, I must return now, she's calling."

    The boy nodded once to the Potions Master, and turned away, fading into nothing as he walked away.
