Spy's Retirement Plan by jazzy2may2

Summary: It's 1980, one year before the attack on the Potters'. Severus puts a plan into motion, setting up safe houses along a route from Russia to Canada and into America. All with no one noticing what he is doing.

He accumulates currency into a "retirement fund" of various currencies and denominations along with passports for Lily, her baby and himself.

They must not use any magical means to leave the country, no floo network no apparation... except to exit the house for a car he has set up for them to take on a road trip to the airport.

Snape finds a way to Neutralize the Dark Mark, which he does the night he rescues Lily and Harry, so Voldemort can't find them through his dark mark.

Severus leaves information for Dumbledore about the horcruxes and where they can be found, and informs him that Lily and Harry are safe, and that they will not be returning to the Wizarding World until the war is over.

They Escape to America where Severus becomes a chemistry teacher, and Lily a nurse in a doctor's office, living as Muggles.

Severus and Lily's relationship grows... she falls for Severus, they marry for real and have two children together along with Harry. A daughter and a son or two daughters? It's up to you.

This can be a "Severus returns to fix a mistake" story, or an alternate reality story, or a time travel story or whatever you want - it's up to you.

I would like the story written intelligently and thoughtfully and in character as much as possible, with softening of Snape's personality as he starts to feel secure in his love for Lily and Harry, and their love for him. Remember Severus is a powerful wizard who can create spells and potions, he's a genius with an acerbic toungue.
