Summary
What if timing had been just a bit different? Where the Weasleys got a ticket to Egypt several years earlier, Sirius escapes when Harry is just about to turn ten, and when he visits him to find he's in the care of the Dursleys, what godfather would leave him there?
With no one from before the war to go to, however, Sirius can only think of one person who can fill all the requirements: Someone he can contact or find, someone who can heal both of them, someone who won't tell the wizarding world that Harry is gone from it's muggle version, and someone who cared for Harry's parents the same way Sirius did. Or at very least, cared for one of them enough to get involved to stop Harry's abuse.
The only one who checks off all the boxes, though, is none other than Severus Snape. -

Summary
The dimly lit bedroom held the weight of Harry's hitched breaths in its dark corners. Shadows clung to the edges, and the air seemed thick with remorse. A soft glow of a solitary lamp on the nightstand revealed the subtle quiver in his form, his head bowed, eyes fixed on the indistinct patterns of the wooden bed frame. The atmosphere echoed with the weight of regret, a palpable silence settling between the cautionary words whispered down and his sincere apology.
****
The dust has settled, the battle is over, and Harry craves guidance. Minerva McGonagall knows the only person who can offer it.

Summary
Everyone knows the story of the Boy-Who-Lived, Ryan Potter. But most don't know the story of his younger twin, Harry, who's lived the fourteen years since You-Know-Who's defeat in the shadow of his brother.
Sorted into Slytherin and an outcast among his own family, Harry is determined to make a name for himself apart from his brother's fame. The gap between him and the Potter's is growing ever larger, and Harry couldn't be more pleased. He's a prefect, seeker on the Slytherin team, and one of the best students in his year. With his O.W.L.'s coming up, his plans for the future are finally taking shape.
As he enters his fifth year, Harry is immediately drawn to their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Tiberius Rowle. The mysterious pureblood is skilled at magic in a way Harry didn't know was possible, and he yearns to know more.
Professor Rowle begins to mentor Harry, and draws him deeper into the world of magic than Harry has ever explored on his own.
But Rowle keeps many secrets, and as Harry slowly discovers them, his life will change forever.

Told entirely from Severus's POV.
