Characters/Pairings: Severus Snape/Lily Evans, Severus Snape, Lily Evans, Albus Dumbledore, Horace Slughorn, Poppy Pomfrey, Rubeus Hagrid, Nicolas Flamel, Pernelle Flamel, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Mary McDonald, Alastor Moody, Lucius Malfoy, Evan Rosier, Avery Sr., Mulciber Sr., Regulus Black, Augustus Rookwood, Voldemort, Eileen Prince, Tobias Snape, original female characters
Rating/Warnings: Teen and Up / Minor Charachter Death, Non-graphic violence, implied/referenced: sexual harrasment, domestic violence, child abuse.
Summary:
What might have brewed if the Horcrux secret came out sooner?
Severus Snape had always been dogged by bad luck. That doesn’t change when he begins his sixth year at Hogwarts. But the world around him is shifting with the escalating war, and suddenly everybody seems to take an interest in the scrawny half-blood’s allegiances. His free time is haunted by Dumbledore’s minions, Voldemort’s followers, pure-blood families and of course the bloody Marauders.
Is it too much to ask for some peace and quiet and a cauldron to call his own?
Severus is brilliant, lonely, and far too young to be standing at the front lines, but fate doesn’t agree with that. With increasing responsibilities comes increasing confidence, and he slowly starts to believe in a future worth fighting for.
Here is (finally) the first chapter of this brainchild of mine. When I started I just planned to write something short and cute with Severus brewing, but in the end it became an almost 100k word AU adventure, taking place during his sixth year at Hogwarts.
