LOSING IDENTITY: Welcome To My Mind (part 6)

Severus manages to save Lily's life through an agreement with the Dark Lord. This story is an alternative to the Harry Potter canon, where Lily has deep feelings for Severus which, later on, turn into love. This story also seeks to make Severus Snape rise up to his full potential, personality-wise as well as magic-wise. Although I tried to portray SS as accurately (in terms of books) as I could, I am also well aware that if it were 100% accurate, then a functioning relationship with Lily would not be possible. Therefore, I made slight amendments in his behavior, only in details, just to make the relationship work.
It is also to be noted that Lily Potter is not exactly a fragile flower in this story. She is powerful and can also be rough towards Snape if necessary.
More chapters will be added over time. There are many hurt / comfort chapters as well as light-hearted chapters (starting with Worst Teacher Ever). I tried to turn the story into something little bit more than just a romantic Snily fanfic. You can come across neologisms such as "Slytherdor" or "the double patronus" and much more. 
The story is, occasionally, embellished with illustrations made by me (but don't expect those to be too brilliant).
Some trigger warnings to top it up: anorexia, abuse, torture.
Also, 
1) don't read this if you think that Snape is a saint and Lily didn't try enough. Or do. Maybe this will change your mind! ;)
2) don't read this if you are the other extreme - Snape hater. In that case, just don't.

Severus Snape x fem Harry (Hally) Potter He burns for her for all the wrong reasons, she obsesses and aches for him for all the right ones. Will this be their love story or have the ghosts from their pasts doomed them from the start ? Hally Potter has spent her whole life alone. The pain and trauma the Dursley's have inflicted upon her make her feel like she'll never get out from underneath them. Until her eleventh birthday that is. She receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns of her heritage along with what really happened to her parents. She meets a lot of interesting people along the way whom she grows to love, including a certain brooding potions professor. Severus Snape was not well liked amongst his fellow professors and the students he taught potions to. His only reprieve was the knowledge that one day Lily's daughter would return to his world and he would be able to keep a close eye on her because he intended to right his wrongs with his one true love. Or so he thought. He immediately hated the girl with a passion and decided quite quickly that he would keep his distance and only interfere if her life was in imminent danger. As the years go on that task tends to prove more difficult than he originally thought because of one thing he hadn't foreseen. She has her mothers eyes. *Slowburn dark romance- large age gap, underage, eventual smut * Years 1-7 but mostly The Goblet of Fire-Deathly Hallows pt 2 I do not own any of the characters.
