Title: Not Merely a Mentor
Author: alisanne
Challenge: Written as my 2009 ownficfest submission for the_kinky_pet.
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Severus Snape/Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Ron Weasley.
Rating: PG-13 (sadly)
Warnings (if any): Other than going AU during OotP? Nothing, really. Sadly, the chan I thought might develop never really did, lol.
Wordcount: ~9900
Summary: While Severus is conducting a routine Potions class, there is an accident and Severus is trapped and alone with, of all people, Harry Potter. Severus discovers that Harry has hidden depths. How could things have been different if Severus and Harry had worked together to rid the world of Voldemort? This is one of those stories.
Author's Notes: Thanks to our intrepid mod for conceiving of and hosting this fest, I have no doubt that this story would NEVER have been written but for this fest and its very scary deadline. Thanks also to the_kinky_pet for choosing this story to be completed since it did make me write a story I otherwise wouldn’t have. In the end I had to completely trash what I had and start from scratch, as I suspect many of us did.
Special thanks to my beta readers, sevfan and eeyore9990, and to the slashchat girls, who forced me into letting go of the original story I had and starting over. I promise to listen to you next time, girls (well, until I actually have to delete another 5K, then you’ll have to hold my hand again). And last, but never least, thanks to JKR for writing book 7 that has given me so many things to change that it has provided endless fodder for fic. It all belongs to her, folks. :)
