    Summary

    Draco’s knuckles turned white around the stem of his glass. He took a deep breath. “So what are you going to do?”

    “Oh, God.” Harry felt his face turning pale, “I’m going to have to tell him, aren’t I?”

     

    Or: Three (moderately uncomfortable) conversations that Harry and Draco had with Severus about their relationship.

    Summary

    Dudley Dursley is ordinary, it's plain and simple. He has a wonderfully ordinary life. A wife and the three most amazing children. He even has the white picket fence. He's so ordinary in fact, that he thinks the Universe must be playing some cruel trick on him when his middle child receives a letter Dudley would have been all too happy to never see again. But Dudley's determined to do it right this time, and who better to ask for guidance than the Boy Who Lived Himself?

    Summary

    “At least tell me your name?”

    Harry threw his head back over his shoulder, looking the man up and down once more. He seemed innocent enough. It was just his name, after all. They were neighbors. No harm in it.

    “It’s Harry,” he said finally. “Harry Potter.”

    OR

    Neglect can be one of the most painful forms of abuse, being ignored by your guardians when all you want is love hurts. No one seems to care if Harry lives or dies so he spends a lot of time wandering around Little Whinging on his own. His friendly neighbor seems to think that this is dangerous. If only someone paid enough attention to Harry to tell him that his neighbor is a little too friendly...

    OR

    “This smells fishy,” Severus muttered out loud.

    “Fishy?” Harry questioned, wrinkling his nose as if sniffing the air. “It doesn’t smell fishy to me.”

    Oh, sweet Merlin, the first years could still be so sweet and precious and Severus was going to kill the son of a bitch who had stolen the innocence from this one.

    From the top of the Astronomy Tower, the stars always look brighter. Funny, how Harry can’t seem to find them at all anymore.
