    Summary

    In the interest of providing Severus Snape additional strength to withstand Voldemort's Legilimency, Remus Lupin is recruited to participate in a utilitarian marriage bond with him. Remus's distraction during the ceremony leads to an unexpected side effect of the bond.

    ***

    “That’s it?” Remus said, somewhat incredulously, as the light faded away. He’d expected more, somehow.

    Severus nodded, lifting his hand to study the ring on his finger. “Congratulations, against all expectations, you succeeded in participating in the simplest of rituals.”

    Remus felt a twinge of annoyance at his words, but it was overlaid confusingly with a sense of satisfaction. He frowned, trying to puzzle out why he would feel satisfied at Severus’s insult.

    An expression of concern crossed Severus’s face, and he lowered his hand. He looked at Remus, his brows drawn together. Then his eyes widened, and surprise flooded Remus. It quickly turned to shocked anger.

    “Albus, we may have a problem,” Severus growled.

    Summary

    They were enemies, once. They still are—aren’t they?

    But the magic binding them doesn’t care for old grudges. It whispers in dreams, pulls them close, stirs need where only contempt once lived. In the dead of night, Severus begins to unravel—and Sirius watches, wanting, waiting.

    Severus turns—and collides with Sirius Black’s chest.

    Heat, solid and unyielding, sears through the fabric of his robes, stealing the breath from his lungs. The forest looms, silent. The wind curls through the trees like whispered secrets. Every nerve screams run—but he cannot move.

    "I have you," Sirius murmurs, voice low, dark, reverberating like a vow.

    Severus shudders. Not in fear. Not in anything he can name.

    Sirius’s hands are on him, branding, possessive, raking up his sides, curling into his waist, breath a ghost against his throat. His scent—smoke, sweat, something dark—coils in Severus’s lungs, heady and intoxicating.

    He shouldn’t want this. He doesn’t want this.

    And yet—

    When Sirius presses him back against the bark, when lips find his skin—teasing, claiming—Severus’s breath stutters. His fingers tighten in Sirius’s hair, torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.
