    Summary

    Harry got caught up in the brilliance of his life for a while.

    He got caught up in his magic, his flying, and his endless adventures. He got caught up in having friends, having a home, having an adult who cared for him.

    But now Harry knows the truth- that was all a life meant for someone else. Not him.

    Because Harry was marked for death when he was one, and he’s given himself less than a year before he dies by Severus’ hand.

     

    Join Harry, Severus, and the rest of the gang as they attempt to leave a scar in magical history as poignant as the one on Harry’s forehead.

    Welcome to the last book of their journey.

    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore knows what Harry Potter is. He knows that the boys death, while regrettable, is necessary to stop the current Dark Lord and prevent the rise of another.

    Lord Voldemort knows what Harry Potter is. He knows that Potter is his gift from fate; the equal he never knew he desired and will now stop at nothing to have stand by his side.

    Severus Snape knows what Harry Potter is. He knows that it’s going to come down to a decision, a decision laid on his shoulders: what matters more, ending the war with the Dark Lord or allowing Harry to live his life?

    Harry Potter does not know what he is and is simply trying to fight a war that his enemies are suddenly changing the rules to.

     

    Welcome back to Year Six.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has magical power that has never been seen before, an ever growing gang of powerful and brilliant allies, and enough cunning and strength to face whatever comes his way this year.

    Unfortunately, Harry Potter also has mental illness, a tendency for idiocy, powerful enemies, and a reckless streak that has taken at least ten years off Severus Snape’s lifespan so far- so Severus enters the year with more reservations than his foolish ward does.

    Alliances will be tested, lines will be drawn, and Hogwarts is beginning to feel like a battlefield more than a school.

    Which, in Harry’s opinion, is perfectly brill.

    Welcome to Year Five.

    Summary

    Does Snape really think that Harry is worried about another mad man after him?

    He can handle himself, thanks.

    Changes in the gang and at Hogwarts are running rampant as Snape tries to deal with a ward who he believes may be struggling with more than just his copious amounts of past trauma, Harry wants everyone to leave him alone and let him find Sirius Black for a 'friendly chat', Susan fantasizes about what she'll do if she even so much as sees one hair of Sirius Blacks head near her best friend, Hermione and Theo just want to read... alone... together..., and Remus Lupin wonders what on Earth happened to James' son to create the chaotic child he now meets.

    Welcome back to Year 3.
