The Awakened Sleeper

Yemeron

Story Summary:
Professor Slughorn decides to shake things up during the Marauders' sixth year. He pairs each Slytherin student with a Gryffindor student. This forces Severus Snape and Lily Evans to work together. Through the course of the year, they will learn a lot about each other, and themselves. They will also have to deal with other Hogwarts students who will undoubtedly have something to say about their relationship. Friendships will be tested. Some will be strengthened, some weakened. But all will be changed. AU after Deathly Hallows.

Professor Slughorn has a new project for his sixth year Potions class. How will his students react? Will they easily accept change, or will they reject anything that upsets the status quo at Hogwarts?
