Summary
*Updates Weekly*
After Molly Weasley reports shocking abuse on the part of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, Albus Dumbledore makes an official decision to Turn A Blind Eye. After all, the Dursleys *are* the key to Harry's Blood Wards. Though McGonagall is appalled, she is ultimately unwilling to take a stand against Albus.
Enraged at this dual neglect, Severus Snape decides to take matters into his own hands. Little does he know that his attempts to modify Harry's Blood Wards will result in *accidentally adopting* The Boy Who Lived. Shocked and horrified, Severus is left with no choice but to move forward as best he can. After all, there's no use crying over spilled potions. . .
This fic is set just after the Weasley siblings rescue Harry from the barred window/canned soup/cat flap situation in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. It is broadly inspired by many of my favorite Snape/Harry Adoption Fics, which I have gathered into the collection Snape_Harry_FoundFamily. Thanks, all y'all, for creating such delightful fics.

Summary
Part One (OotP) 120k words.
Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.
Part Two (HBP + DH) In progress.
After a dramatic summer, Harry vows to focus on Dumbledore’s lessons, not his mother’s love life. Try as he might, he cannot ignore Snape’s increasingly suspicious behavior: covering for Malfoy, pathetically fawning over Lily, and pretending he doesn’t hate Harry. Lily throws herself into teaching and recruitment efforts but frets over Severus and his refusal to disclose the details of the burden Dumbledore has placed on his shoulders.

Summary
Harry avait un excellent quatorzième anniversaire au Burrow au moins Dumbledore est arrivé avec Rogue. Dumbledore l'informe qu'il devra suivre des cours particuliers de Défense contre les forces du mal et de Potions avec le professeur de Potions pendant tout le reste de l'été, au grand désarroi de Harry, et il est donc emmené de force à Spinner's End.
Rogue n'avait pas prévu de passer son été à héberger et à donner des cours particuliers au fils de son défunt ennemi, et il ne s'attendait certainement pas à ce que le garçon soit si différent de l'image qu'il s'en était toujours faite. Mais au fil des jours, les deux sorciers en apprendront davantage l'un sur l'autre, que ce soit au cours d'un interrogatoire... ou en se cachant l'un de l'autre.

Summary
The owl whit-whooed gently and nipped at Harry's little finger, only then did the teenager notice it, and the silver canister it carried.
Frowning, Harry detached the canister and examined it. It hummed with various security charms, and had the motif of the Ministry of Magic on the cap. As he touched the cap the charms released and he was able to take out the thick scroll of vellum inside. As he pulled it out it enlarged itself to twice its size. There was a seal holding it together with the image of a knight's helmet on a shield background.
He touched the seal and it dissolved.
As he pulled the scroll open across the corner of the breakfast table and began to read, he stopped chewing and froze, the last bite of toast forgotten in his hand.

This was a one-shot, until thousands more words appeared. ☺️ Note: this story is intentionally interested in moral ambiguity, unintended consequences, and emotionally messy human beings. The characters will not always make good decisions.
