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? What if the Marauders didn't screw all up? Skittleverse is here guys!!!! You can find the story here too https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2713360/1/

The only thing Severus felt during his fifth year at Hogwarts was remorse. Remorse for having lost his best friend, and beloved, Lily Evans. Regret for letting that horrible word slip away, and ruin his relationship with Lily. Severus believes that his life only attracts pain and suffering, leaving him with the thought that he is alone in this world. But as time goes by, unexpected events appear in his life. Causing a new change in him which he is willing to accomplish. Although this change does not go unnoticed by Lily. The person who Severus tries to make realize that he has changed. Will Severus achieve his goal? Did James really changed for Lily Evans? Will Lily finally correspond Severus feelings? Start reading to find out ;) (James Potter and Lily Evans start dating at the end of their fifth year at Hogwarts) •//SLOW UPDATES//•

It all started with a letter from Minerva McGonagall, the Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, asking if Estelle Beauregard would like to be the new Astronomy Professor. Who wouldn't say yes? So, Estelle Beauregard, a witch from America and her older brother by half a minute accepted the letter and began their new lives at Hogwarts anxiously. They both had no idea that accepting such an innocent letter would change their lives tremendously, both for the good and the bad. This is a story about romance, second chances, broken hearts and love. This is a story about a shining star falling in love with a dark and broken man who has a second chance at a new life. Yet, the question is, will he accept her love and warmth or stay broken and alone forever in the darkness?

[DISCONTINUED] A smile that was covering tears was beginning to form. "He's a legend now! Capturing the hearts of his large female fanbase! I... can't compete with that. I was just a..." she paused longingly, "best friend. His childhood friend." "You were head over heels in love with him way back when you are children. Are you telling me you're in love with him again?" There was silence before she replied. "So what if I say yes? What would it change?" "Everything," A deep velvet voice said behind her. She froze and slowly put down the wine glass. "So... do you?" ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ A Rickman fanfic
