Buried Memories
On Harry's 10th birthday, he falls gravely ill. After days of leaving the boy in agony, the Dursleys are forced to take him to the hospital. When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered,' 'loved,' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications. Harry's body and mind bear the cruel marks of neglect and abuse. When Severus sees the depths to which Albus Dumbledore is willing to sink to play games with their lives, he makes a decision: He must protect the boy from the Headmaster before it is too late. On the sickbed, an unexpected connection begins to blossom. How will Snape defy Dumbledore and rescue Harry from his fate as a pawn? And how will Harry, under the protection of this complex and gloomy professor, find the true home and love he never had?Rain lashed against the windows of St. Mary's Hospital, blurring the neon signs of Little Whinging into smears of light. Inside Room 312, a small figure writhed beneath thin sheets, skin burning with fever, breath coming in shallow gasps. The nurses had given up. Muggle medicine had failed.
Then he arrived—tall, cloaked in black, eyes sharp with suspicion. Severus Snape hadn’t come out of duty. He’d come because Albus insisted the boy was 'thriving' and yet lay dying.
One diagnostic charm shattered the lie. Malnutrition. Old fractures. Signs of chronic dehydration and emotional trauma. This was no pampered hero. This was a child who had been erased.
Snape’s hand hovered over Harry’s forehead, not in scorn, but in something dangerously close to sorrow. And in that moment, a vow was made—silent, unbreakable. Dumbledore would not get away with this.
But saving Harry meant war. A war fought not with curses, but with custody papers, courtroom battles, and the slow, painful rebuilding of a soul.
