Summary
Newt Scamander arrives in New York with his case full of fantastic creatures- a demiguise, occamies, a thunderbird, and, most importantly, one frightened and determined Newt Scamander.
----
He tidied the table and laid out a tin of biscuits. At Newt’s watchful, wide-eyed expression, he flashed a quick smile and looked away. “Tea?” He asked.“Who are you?” Newt asked in lieu of an answer.
“Newt Scamander,” the intruder replied, voice suddenly shy and gentle, doe eyes peeking at Newt, “pleased to meet you.”

Summary
“I did not betray your confidence,” Snape tells Harry. “The Dark Lord is an accomplished Legilimens, but I am a master of the art of Occlumency. My mind is an impenetrable fortress.”
“Er… okay,” Harry says.
(He doesn’t know what either of those words mean, but he’s very glad to know that his professor hasn’t sold him out to Voldemort to be tortured and killed.)
Snape regards him for a long moment, his eyes sliding over to the open door of the cupboard. He opens his mouth as if to say something, and then appears to change his mind at the last second.
“It is nearing lunchtime,” he says instead. “Would you like a sandwich?”
--
It's the summer after fourth year. Harry is still reeling from the events of the graveyard. He is haunted by constant nightmares and stuck at Privet Drive, isolated from all the people who care about him.
When Dementors visit Little Whinging, Harry suddenly has much more to deal with than painful memories. His removal from Privet Drive leads to an unexpected encounter with professor Snape.

Wow. I almost didn’t read it, out of dislike for the genderbent AU, but now I’m completely enthralled. I have done nothing but read this story for days now. Amazing.
