Challenges
Summary: Set after POA, but before GOF...in which Lupin becomes foster father to four boys: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, de-aged Sirius Black and de-aged Severus Snape. Rules:
- Severus and Sirius must be younger than Harry and Draco, but not too young to attend Hogwarts.
- Their memories must be retained, though their emotions and behaviors should be of whatever age they are.
- Lupin must not favor Harry or Sirius over Severus and Draco.
- If you so wish, discipline (spanking) can be part of the story (this will be up to the writer...)
- By the end of the story, the boys should have bonded as brothers and view Lupin as their father.
- The pairings should be: Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Neville/Luna. If you so wish to give Severus and Sirius love interests, you may.
- Lupin should not be as hesitant as he sometimes is in the books.
Categories: Brothers, Comrades, Keepers of the Snitch Characters: Draco, Dumbledore, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Remus, Ron, Sirius, Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: "Sometimes to help someone, you have to walk away and let them hit rock bottom." (Unknown)
Categories: Apprentice, Brothers, Canon, Comrades, Crossover, Enemy, Father, Guardian, Stepfather, Healer, Mentor, Reverse, Teacher, Keepers of the Snitch, Severus Centric, Misc Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: Harry is so hungry for positive attention that he'll do anything for the approval of his teachers and peers. What will Snape do when he notices first-year Harry's unhealthy relationships with the people of Hogwarts and the Dursley’s?
Required:
Harry must do everything in his power to hide the abuse of his peers and family.
Harry must be overly conscious about what people think of him. (If you choose, this can be a lifelong struggle…or Snape can help him to heal completely, your choice.)
Brownie Points: If you include this scene: Snape makes multiple jabs at Harry’s unruly hair. Harry comes into class one day with his hair slicked back with too much gel in an attempt to get Snape to like him more. Snape only sneers and makes hurtful comments about the boy’s incompetence.
Categories: Guardian Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: It struck me that Harry would have had a very different kind of life if he had been old enough to remember his parents, magic, the wizarding world. And it would have been a very different world if Voldemort had been allowed to continue his quest for power for several years longer than in canon.
So, how do you think Harry would be different if he had lived with his parents until he was 7 or 8 (or so)?
-Would he have befriended other canon characters?
-What role does Sirius play in his life?
-Does Sirius still get sent to Azkaban?
-If so, how is Harry impacted?
-How would the wizarding world be different?
-How would Snape be different after spying for so many years?
-How would Snape have changed with Lily alive?
-Did Snape and Lily make up, or does Harry meet him at Hogwarts?
-How would that dynamic influence their relationship?
Of course those questions don't all need to be answered, but I think that such a change prompts very interesting questions.
Categories: Apprentice, Comrades, Enemy, Guardian, Healer, Mentor, Reverse, Teacher, Keepers of the Snitch, Severus Centric, Misc Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: Severus Snape was wandering the hallways looking for wayward students out of bed. He heard voices from around a corner and just as he was about to bust the rule braking students he hears something unexpected come from Ron's mouth.
"You need to go to a teacher and tell them what has been going on at the Durley's."
When he peeked around the corner he saw a prone boy that couldn't be Harry Potter sitting in a window sill with his knees pulled to his chest and tears streaking down his cheeks.
Takes place either first, second or third year. No evil Dumbledore, but Severus Snape's heart begins to melt.
Categories: Healer, Mentor, Teacher Characters: Dumbledore, Hermione, Ron
Summary: We all do enjoy our favourite Potions Master suffer, or is that just me? In this challenge, we see Snape weep. In character as much as possible and in front of Harry. Important to this challenge is that Harry doesn't just come in when it's already happening, but is during some interaction with Harry. Prompt: Coward.
Categories: None Characters: None
Summary: What if Severus had lied to the Dark Lord all those years ago and told him that Harry was his child in order to protect Lily, knowing she would never place her life before her son's? How much would be changed by one little white lie?
Categories: Mentor, Father, Guardian, Healer Characters: Snape and Harry (required), Lily, Voldemort
Summary: Got this idea from a video on Youtube that showed Snape in the Great Hall demanding to know where Potter was. What if instead of fighting Minerva, Snape kills the Carrows and calls upon the school to get ready for the Final Battle. What if also, he gave the Slytherins a choice, telling them the truth of who Voldemort really is, his past, and what he was forced to do.
Must have the following:
- "Are you with me and Hogwarts?" Snape asks them, his tone deadly serious, "Or are you with Tom Riddle and his Death Eaters? Decide before it's made for you."
- Snape confessing that he was forced to kill Dumbledore.
- Snape summoning the protections of the school.
- Dead Carrows.
- Telling Harry the truth about his scar.
- No Snape dying at the hands of Voldemort.
- Only Comrades, Father, or Healer categories
You can have Voldemort believing that he hasn't mastered the Elder Wand enabling Harry to take it, or you can have all sorts of surprises from anything like Snape adding additional protections to the school to Harry discovering that Snape is his father. Show another side of Snape other than what the scene showed with him running away from Minerva's spells.
Categories: Comrades, Father, Healer Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: I was looking at the various categories, and to my surprise, there are no stories under 'Crossover'!
So, this challenge is straightforward enough: write a crossover between HP and another fandom in which Harry and Snape feature as main characters.
Categories: Crossover Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
Summary: Based on the rock opera Tommy, but particularly the song "Cousin Kevin," Harry is being tortured by Dudley (and possibly Vernon, if you wish to focus on that, as well). Snape finds out when Harry's magic can't keep protecting him. May be set any year.
Categories: Teacher, Healer, Guardian Characters: Snape and Harry (required), Dudley, Petunia, Vernon
Summary: Harry Potter has all the Four Houses' Most Sought Qualities, thus when he is Sorted, the Hat makes a new house just for him...and a new Head of House who acts more like a mother than a teacher. He has friends from all houses, but get jealous when his Head of House starts dating Snape.
Categories: Apprentice, Mentor, Teacher Characters: Snape and Harry (required), Original Character, Other, Voldemort
