    Summary

    [ “Don’t let them think you have any last humanity left,” he says, and claps her on the shoulder. “You’ll want to keep that to yourself.”

    He lumbers away to meet Caesar and Katniss is left staring after him, wondering what the hell Haymitch means. It’s another shred of useless advice, surely, but she doesn’t dismiss the note of warning that had threaded through his words.

    Then finally Caesar is calling her name, and Katniss steps forward to be baptised as a victor, her triumph bathed in Peeta’s blood. ]

     

     

    (or, Katniss is the lone victor from the Seventy Fourth Annual Hunger Games. Somehow, a rebellion still happens.)

    Summary

    After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so.

    Summary

    “I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.

    “You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”

    “But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”

    “Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”

    Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
    OR
    Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought.
