Between trauma after being attacked by Quirrell, harsh comments from Snape and being told he has to go back to the Durselys, Harry has had enough. This summer he starts kicking back and watches as Dumbledore's carefully laid plans for him crumble.
(Complete) After the war, Harry takes the position as DADA professor. Working closely with his previous professor Severus Snape, he learns what he had been missing all those years...
What are dependents left to do when betrayed by those they trusted most, but to find a way to become masters in their own right. AU, O set after DoM fiasco in OotP, slash: HP/SS, het: DM/GW, TN/HG, NL/LL, some bashing.
Harry can't work out why his Amortentia for his seventh year Potions class makes his skin crawl every time he catches scent of it. Severus cannot understand why teaching Amortentia for his N.E.W.T students has suddenly left him so irritable. The scent of it had never bothered him before, and he cannot work out why, now, it makes him want to curse everything in sight. When they each in turn work out the reason why, neither want to believe it means what they think it means. A brazen move from Harry lands him in detention, and it's unlike any detention he's ever heretofore experienced.
