Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
“Do you know what I think, Harry?” He barely paused to allow an answer. “Albus has done well instilling you with his ideals, molding you to be the perfect dutiful soldier, but you’ve never developed your own code of ethics. You’ve never had to. But what happens to an animal that’s been fed all its life, when the automated machine finally breaks?"
He found the man approaching with an unnervingly gradual momentum. But no- that couldn’t be exactly right, because his feet had stayed firmly planted at the edge of the rug the whole time, which meant-
Harry was the one stepping closer.
“Do you know?” he cocked his head, next words more snarl than speech. “It starves. So tell me: are you sure you weren’t just looking for an excuse to disguise your own interest in the dark arts?”After the Sectumsempra incident, Slughorn has a suggestion. As a result, the whole castle is thrown into disarray, and everything Harry once thought he knew is turned on its head. It appears that no one is exactly what they seem, not even himself- and now, he’s somehow considered both a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. To make matters worse, he just cannot seem to get a decent night’s sleep.
