you raise me up || harry potter

After meeting Draco in Diagon Alley, Harry reserves his judgments, desperate to make friends. And when the Hat places him in Slytherin, Harry must find a way to get along with his new Housemates and Head of House. Severus Snape, though initially vindictive, comes to find that his preconceptions may have been wrong... and those preconceived notions are shattered when Snape is the one to take Harry in the summer before his third year. New and improved version in progress on ao3!

❝ Albus, are you sure Harry's power is love... and not forgiveness? ❞
❝ Forgiveness and love often do go hand in hand, Severus. ❞
