Fics like The Child with the Eyes (of the Girl I won't Forget)

When they first lock eyes in the Great Hall, Harry feels the pain in his scar and figures it's some kind of karma, that he has a staring problem, and vows to keep eye contact with everyone to a minimum. While Snape can't bear to be looked at by the boy with the face of James Potter, he can't help but feel himself crack at the seams when Lily Evans' eyes bore into his own. My retelling of the first book, but with a bit more competence all around. Snape has a heart, and absolutely for the life of him can't handle Harry's eyes. (NOT Snarry) Lily haunts the narrative fr fr. (Not intended as Snily either, but if you want to go for it). Yes, what if Harry's eyes got to Snape more than he'd like to admit? He gradually begins to care for the boy throughout the year, albeit begrudgingly and in his own way. A slow-burning Severitus story. (read the tags + notes)
