Bonding Experience by Mellow Moon [Responses - 0] [Report This]
Summary: In which Snape and Harry bond and find common ground over a hobby they discover they share. Could be anything: reading, horseback riding, flying, stargazing, for example. Writer's choice.
Categories: Comrades Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Back To Life by JAWorley [Responses - 0] [Report This]
Summary: Harry Potter brings Severus Snape back from the dead. Why? For what purpose? How? Is Snape grateful or angry? Does he have a hard time coping with it, or does he move on? Does Harry have to take care of him after he comes back, or does Snape even need taking care of? Has Harry brought the man back to pay a debt, because he loves him, to help him with a problem, for some other reason, or just because?

Ideas (not required)

- Some of the story takes place somewhere other than Hogwarts (ie Hogsmeade, Diagonalley, London, Ministry of Magic, or other)
- They are somehow related (you decide if they knew it or not)
- Harry takes care of Snape
- Snape takes care of Harry
- They are somehow tied together because of whatever Harry did to bring Snape back (this may be a foreseen or unforeseen consequence).
- Snape is pissed because he was pulled away from Lily.
- Snape was sent back because they knew he had more work to do.

THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: There must be NO flashbacks. I don't want to read a chapter from Harry's point of view and then read the same scene from Snape's point of view. I also don't want to see any of this: **FLASHBACK** If there must be a flashback, do it tastefully.

Breaking the Cliche: Evil Stepdad, NOT! by Lon Wolfgood [Responses - 0] [Report This]
Summary:

There have been a lot of evil!stepdad!Snape stories as of late, and for once I'd like to read one where Snape is In Character.

Challenge

  • Harry is around 4-6 years old when his mum begins dating Mr. Snape, who reluctantly becomes his stepdad.
  • Harry's dad, James, has a lot of money and fame, and this Lily knows will awe little Harry, and keep him from knowing Snape better.
  • Lily helps Snape work through his issues from childhood and how to be a better role model for Harry.

Suggestions

  • While traumatic experiences are nice plot-devices, I'd rather those be avoided.
  • The rest of the story, the main plot and whatnot, are up to you!

Restrictions

  • James must be alive, but not a jerk.
  • Snape is not a child abuser. (He can be a little unfair, or expect things from Harry that are not on par with his age, but not the rabid, foaming at the mouth Snape that has become so popular, lately.)
  • Lily must be in character: that means, having more than one dimension, and a backbone.

Bad Idea! by Bratling [Responses - 0] [Report This]
Summary: Lily and Severus were best friends through their childhoods and Severus was abused by his father. Statistically, approximately 10% of abused children become child abusers themselves. Canonically, we know pretty much where Severus stands in regards to that. What if Lily left custody of Harry to Severus before the Dursleys and it turned out to be a terrible idea? What if Severus's deplorable treatment of Harry went a little further? Bonus points if, for once, Petunia and Vernon are at the opposite end of the spectrum and try to actually take care of Harry and take him away from Severus.

Brothers, Half-twins by Hephzibah06 [Responses - 0] [Report This]
Summary:
  1. Write a story that focuses on Snape, Black, Harry, and Ron Weasley.
  2. Ignoring canon after book four, start your story in the summer of 5th, 6th, or 7th year.
  3. Everyone knows at least about Peter Pettigrew being still alive, thus Black is a free man right from the start of your fiction.
  4. Black’s mother - who is still alive, but soon to die of an illness - asks him to visit her in St. Mungo’s. Where she tells Black that he has a half-twin from a rape she was victim of, before she knew she was expecting Sirius. Thus, she and Mr. Black, not wanting to keep a child that reminded her of an awful event, and he not the half-twin’s father gave Sirius’ twin to a distraught young witch who just had had a stillborn that same evening.
  5. Severus Snape is that half-twin. Although he already knows about Sirius being his half-twin. How much longer Snape has known is for you the writer to decide.
  6. Sirius is furious to be related to Snape, but after some thinking or convincing from Lupin decides to take up the DADA position at Hogwarts to get to know Snape better. It cannot be a quick forgive and forget for ether character.
  7. The start of Christmas brake brings the bombshell, somehow Black discovers that Snape’s father was Tom Marvolo Riddle also known as Voldemort. Does Snape know this too? You decide. Who never made a horcruxe, or did not try to make one until after he heard the prophecy in 1980-81.
  8. Snape does, unconsciously at least, know that calling his dark master anything but the Dark Lord WILL draw attention to himself, even in Hogwarts, because of his - Bone tie - to Voldemort and Tom Jr.
  9. Voldermort was the son of Tom Riddle Junior; who was the son Tom Riddle Senor; who was the son of a squib bitter mother; who was one of three to five children of a happily married Dumbledore.
  10. Mrs. Black is a 2nd great grand-daughter of Dumbledore, through one of his other children, as well.
  11. Dumbledore knows or has suspected Snape being his 3rd great grandson through Voldermort and made himself Snape’s Godfather at some point.
  12. Another secret Mrs. Black tells is that the Prophecy is really about Snape. Severus was born at 11:45pm July 31st 1960...to one who has thrice defied the him. Mrs. Black was never a true follower of Voldemort do to his raping her, thus ruining Voldermort’s plans secretly when she could.
  13. The night that Snape delivered the first half of the prophecy in 1980-81, Mrs. Black alone witnessed Voldermort trying to kill Snape, who survived the killing curse. Voldermort then used various binding spells, to keep Snape’s silence of the half prophecy, and unknowingly giving Snape some of his powers and gifts.
  14. Voldermort does not know Snape is his son before 1979 (if at all, before the final battle of the story) when raping married pure-blood Molly Weasley, and married mud-blood, but powerful, Lily Potter, in a last attempt to sire an heir. Why does he want or need an heir? You decide.
  15. Harry and Ron are born at the exact same time July 31st. By old magic standards they too are half-twins.
  16. Sirius furious at what he now knows about Snape, and furious too at Dumbledore for never turning Voldermort’s son in, heatedly tells Arthur Weasely about it - in a supposedly empty room - only to be shocked when Arthur reveals to Sirius that his godson Harry is a son of Voldermort, as well as Molly’s son Ron.
  17. Snape, Harry, and Ron, are Voldemort’s only heirs. All three look themselves, with no glamour spells ever put on them. They all took after grandparents on their mothers side, yes even Harry. Who’s to say James didn’t look similar to a grandparent of Lily’s, but was not related.
So there is my challenge. Snape and Black becoming friends, Harry getting a sibling his age. Ron having to deal with being adopted, what younger sibling has never been teased about that? And Snape is the one who kills Voldemort.

NOTE: describe the raping with very little detail.
