Title: Apprentice: Chapter 6 (07/?)
Author: Animealam
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: None yet, previous Snape/OC
Warnings: Violence, child abuse, manipulative but not evil Dumbledore, OOC-ness.

Summary: The war had been over for several years, and Harry’s life did not turn out the way he expected it. He ended leaving England and travelling the world. That’s where death found him, but he was the Master of the Hollows and second chances were a given. He would not waste them.

Aditional Warnings:

THIS IS AN AU STORY (AUAlternate Universe), even though I try to follow the original novels as close as I can.

Not a native English speaker writing.

Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC)

There might be spoilers for all books.

Author Note: When I started writing this story, book five was not yet out.

I have decided to include details from the fifth book, not may and not yet, but there will be certain aspects of the book included.

Author Note: After much thinking, I have decided to include details from the fifth book, how much will depend on how the plot is working. But so far, in what I have already plotted in my notebooks, there will be more than I originally thought. It’s really working great, even though this will definitely remain an AU.

For those who disliked (or liked) toad-woman Umbridge, she will be making an appearance in later chapters. I had planned on creating a character that would have a similar role anyway, so why not use the one that J.K. Rowling had already created? And I barely have to change a few things of what I had already plotted.

I had originally planned to break this chapter in two but since I took so long in updating I decided to leave the 18 pages it is in one file. I’m also already working on typing the next chapter so with luck I won’t take as long.

In this chapter some things will be explained, so it’s not one filled with a lot of action. This is to keep building a background and also explain things that will be happening in later chapters.

Also Phoenix Angel, please e-mail me if you’re still interested in beta‘ing’ this fic for me. I had some problems with my e-mail program (my own fault for not backing up and experimenting with the stuff) and lost all my archived e-mails and addresses.

For the reason above, this chapter is not beta‘ed’, although I did as much proof-reading as I could some errors might have slipped past either MSWord’s grammar/spell checker or myself.

I took to long getting this chapter out, so I have yet to have it beta’ed’. I usually send it to Phoenix Angel, but I really wanted to get this one out soon. I have been obsesing with some of the future chapters, so in order to get there I need to get this and about three more chapters out.

I really appreciate all your reviews and some I’ll take into consideration. I had planned on adding a chapter to answer reviews, but with new policies I don’t think so. Anyway I’ll respond to some on the next chapter since I need to read through the lot of them.

I want to thank Phoenix Angel for betaing the chapter and giving me some very good insights, I tried to follow some of them, though in the end I barely made the changes since the muses have not been all that kind to me this time, as well as real life.

I wanted to have the chapter out before the end of the year, so regardless of inspiration here it is. There is a great possibility that I might change some parts of the chapter before I post the next (which by the way is done, and only needs some minor corrections and betaing). If I do I’ll inform you so you can re-read the chapter so the next makes sense.

“Now where’s Potter?” The woman paled, with the look of someone who had just realized she forgot something of vital importance; she gulped nervously and refused to look at him. “Do I have to repeat myself? Where’s the boy?” he demanded, his voice cold as ice.

Author Note: When I started writing this story, book five was not yet out. I have decided to include some details from the fifth book, not many and not yet, but there will be certain aspects of the book included. Only one thing I have not commented on the later chapters, this is not going to be slash. I’m not sure I can pull it off, although I have a couple of ideas for future fics where I might try to write it.

Thanks to my beta Phoenix Angel, for checking the chapters. When I asked her she told me she found both Severus and Petunia OOC, I actually did too, but was not sure. I did some corrections, and hope they are more in character.

Still, you will find that Petunia is WAY to OOC, but that was on purpose. I’ve always thought she was quite bad, and would do just about anything to show Harry the differences between being her son and being her ‘unwanted’ nephew. So I’ll be portraying her as quite abusive, and a bit more disgusted by wizards. Based on the supposition that her sister was greatly favored by her parents because of her magical abilities.

Title: Another Chance at Childhood. 03/?

Author: animealam

Rating: Teens

Pairing: None yet, but might… just might end having a tiny bit of Harry/Hermione. You’ll never see Harry/Ginny with me even if the almighty Lady of the Potterfandom (J.K. Rowling) wrote it in book six (shudders, that was even more hellish than reading what my adored Sev had to do).

Warnings: Completely AU, Post Order of the Phoenix, No HBP (although there will be mentions of tidbits from the book), child abuse, violence, probably superpower Harry and Snape, independent Harry. OOC Harry and Snape, I don’t think I can get them IC.

Disclaimer: Nope, doesn’t belong to me. I only play with them a bit.

Summary: Response to the Potions and Fic Fest Challenge # 5 by Bil. Although I’m not sure it is completely compliant. I tried though.

Harry gets up one morning and begins to make breakfast (for the Dursleys, if that’s where he is). Hearing a noise at the door he cautiously goes to investigate – to find a battered Snape collapsed on the front doorstep. What happened to Snape, why is he in Harry’s neighborhood and what in Merlin’s name is Harry going to do with him?

Notes: This one is the longest chapter yet; hope you enjoy it, as there is a lot of dialog in this one. Be warned they are EXTREMELY OOC.

Sorry for the delay guys, but it’s finally here. Thanks to everyone that reviewed the other chapters. Also this chapter is not betaed, so if you see any problems please send a PM (those in or leave it in the review (for everyone else). I’m working on chapter four at the moment.

This list includes fics where Harry has been abused by one or all of the Dursley. The abuse goes from emotional, to physical and sexual. The list is divided in gen (stories where there is no slash, except in the case of non-con) and slash (where Harry goes to have a relationship with a male). The slash is usually Snarry as that is the pairing I prefer, but will eventually I’ll add more pairings.

The lists are limited to 100 entries at the moment due to Delicious limits. I don’t think either have reached 100 yet.
