N.B.! Hii, you guys! I'm starting a new story, a different one, it does NOT involve Harry Potter and all of his friends. Instead, it will be about young Severus Snape, the Marauders, and how they navigate their school life and relationships. There will also be an original character! 

Hope it's a good read! Make sure to read the Prologue so you are caught up on everything.

XOXO <3

Severus Snape grew up in the shadow of Spinner's End, a grey and dismal neighbourhood by a murky lake. It wasn't much, but the quiet and the occasional beauty of the waters offered a fleeting escape. His mother, Eileen Snape née Prince, was a pureblood witch of remarkable skill, a woman who once dazzled with her command of magic. From her, Severus inherited his sharp features, his jet-black hair, and his natural aptitude for spells and potions. But her brilliance dimmed over the years, weighed down by a marriage to Tobias Snape, a bitter and volatile Muggle. Tobias ruled the house with his temper and vices, his love for alcohol far outweighing his affection for his wife or his son. For Severus, childhood became a string of grey days, punctuated only by dreams of Hogwarts—a place he longed to escape to, where magic might finally give him freedom.

Amidst the gloom, a girl's laughter became the one vibrant thread in his bleak existence. Lily Evans, a fiery-haired Muggle-born with brilliant green eyes, lived just across the way. She was everything Spinner's End was not—bright, alive, and full of potential. Severus watched her from a distance until one fateful day when he witnessed her perform accidental magic, coaxing a flower to bloom. Excited, he approached her and called her a witch, startling the little girl who took it as an insult. Though their first meeting went poorly, time softened her wariness, and the two became friends. With Lily, Severus found a fleeting warmth and hope that eclipsed the grey misery of his home life. Her sister Petunia's disdain for him was of no consequence—Lily alone brought light to his darkest days.

But life rarely adheres to the ideals of childhood dreams. Hearts are unpredictable, and the paths we imagine for ourselves often splinter into unexpected directions. While Severus's connection with Lily shaped him, this is not the story of their bond. This is a tale of Severus Snape and Esme Rosier—a girl with beauty, ambition, and her own tangled heart. Together, they would face the challenges of Hogwarts, the scorn of the Marauders, and the lure of dark magic, forging a connection that would defy all odds...
