    Summary

    My answer to Reptilia28’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” Challenge. Six times has Harry Potter died young instead of fulfilling his destiny of killing Tom Riddle and of marrying his soulmate Hermione. The seventh time that Harry’s soul is sent into his younger body, Harry keeps his older memories and he has a plan. But this time, if he fails, both his body and soul shall die.

    This is an H/Hr story that bashes Dumbledore and our most unfavourite Weasleys.

    Reread, evaluate for archiving. One of the (very) few palatable responses to that ridiculous challenge.
    Feb 2026: Rereading, and by chapter 20 Hermione was so insufferable I just don't care.

    Summary

    The boy appeared as a small, crumpled figure in the cupboard, barely illuminated by the ghostly spell. His wild, unruly black hair stood out even in the dim light, and his broken glasses perched crookedly on his nose. He was painfully thin, his clothes hanging off his frame like sacks. Severus’s sharp gaze lingered on his face—too young, too frail. The boy should have been around seven but looked no older than five.
    ~~~
    This is a story about Severus Snape discovering compassion and affection in the most unexpected place—a small, silent boy who never spoke a word but conveyed entire stories through the depth of his actions, and the emotions in his gaze. It’s a tale of two scarred souls, each carrying their own burdens, finding solace, connection, and healing in each other’s presence.

    This is a story that’s almost entirely fluff with angst and just a sprinkle of plot.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I loved the first 8 chapters of this. But then they just folded and let Albus take over again, even after outright saying what a manipulative prick he is. And then just jumped straight to the end. Not sure this is a keeper but bookmarking in case I want to find it again. Also never explained how the hell any of them found the cottage.
