SUMMARY: This a Severus Snape-centric AU beginning the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts. The main focus is on Severus' evolving relationship with the Marauders, once they come to the conclusion that the only way to get through this summer intact is to cooperate. I wrote this fic as a response to a series of what-ifs that kept nagging me, the main one being: What if Severus had come to Dumbledore sooner?
Other main characters include Dumbledore, Snape's father, the Marauders, Nymphadora Tonks, and later her parents. Genres include humor, angst, action/adventure, hurt/comfort, friendship and family. This was begun a good year before HBP; therefore it incorporates some small details but not the majority (a.k.a., what we learned about Snape's family and the Half-Blood Prince.) There are no main or non-canon pairings. At least for a good while... ;)
WARNINGS include DE violence and language, mild spoilers for all books, and a slightly OOC Snape, if we're going by canon. As his upbringing, past, and indeed the entire history of this AU have been rather different than canon, I do consider his personality fair game. However, I have done my best to keep everyone as in-character as possible, including the magical world itself. (Thank you, HP Lexicon!) And, of course, the biggie: NO SLASH OR SEX. Just friendship.
DEDICATION: This prologue is dedicated to JK Rowling, because it's all her fault. Thanks, Jo.
Now... These are the main characters.
