Claim: Harry Potter, Snape/Harry
Title: Cambiare Podentes: Invocare
Author: Jordan Grant
Characters: Snape, Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore, Arthur, Bellatrix, OMCs
Prompt: Fandom Cliché.
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic (± 300,000 words)
Brief summary: This is a continuation of an abandoned fic where the original piece has made such a buzz, anyone who tried to re-write it is burdened with a high expectation. And Jordan not only answered the challenge but also took the ever cliché Harry must bond with Snape to defeat Voldemort or *insertvariousreasonshere* plot to another level.

Hmm, did you spend your winnings on some useless fripperies, or are they locked away in the vault you're shortly to give me?”

“Shut the fuck up,“ Harry softly snarled.

Not about to put up with language like that, Severus automatically snapped, “Ten points from--”
