    Summary

    Harry’s survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then years spent staying alive on the streets of London.

    He’s excellent at surviving impossible situations. His magic powers don’t hurt his odds at all either.

    And now? Getting to go to a school filled with other magical students? Getting a gang of his own? Fighting headmasters who don’t seem to like him and learning occlumency from his professor?

    Life is brill now.

     

    Life is not so ‘brill’ for Severus Snape who sees a small boy covered in scars and filled with trauma and worries about how to best fulfill his vow to keep the boy safe when the boy has a knack for brewing constant chaos.

     

    Welcome to Year One.

    Summary

    Just before his eleventh birthday, Harry is found in a dark London alleyway. He is subsequently taken to stay in the home of one Severus Snape until he begins Hogwarts. Harry isn't quite sure what possessed him to agree to this arrangement, and Severus has no intention of allowing Potter's unfortunate progeny to get under his skin, but this is a Severitus fic, we all know how it ends.
