Summary: Harry has been Snape's ward for a few weeks now. Why you may ask? Well, ever since Harry's name got out of the goblet: he's been the target of bullying and harassment. But one day this goes too far, and Harry has permanent and physical scars. The students are punished and Dumbledore makes a speech to the whole school as a warning. But because of the tournament, Harry cannot leave, meaning while he stays with other students, they might harm him again, despite Dumbledore's warning. So Harry ends up living with Snape, because McGonagall and Dumbledore are too busy as it is, and Pomona has grandchildren to take care of, and Flitwick...well his living quarters are miniature-sized. Snape is very strict with Harry. Yes he still calls him Potter, and Harry still calls him by his title. Snape still taunts him, but only because he realizes Harry gets better at keeping his calm when faced with experience. All this to avoid fights and unnecessary enemies with the other students.
