HarryÕs survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then years spent staying alive on the streets of London.
HeÕs excellent at surviving impossible situations. His magic powers donÕt hurt his odds at all either.
And now? Getting to go to a school filled with other magical students? Getting a gang of his own? Fighting headmasters who donÕt seem to like him and learning occlumency from his professor?
Life is brill now.
Life is not so ÔbrillÕ for Severus Snape who sees a small boy covered in scars and filled with trauma and worries about how to best fulfill his vow to keep the boy safe when the boy has a knack for brewing constant chaos.
Welcome to Year One.
