Story Notes:
Dear readers,
I asked Obsidian Embrace for permission to post this story even so Harry will start to show up in the middle of the story. From then on he will be improtant because he will help Severus in his new life and Severus will help Harry to see that there is still something to live for. I'm sorry that you have to wait so long for Harry to show up, but I needed this time to develop the plot around Severus. So I gathered the first chapters together and it will be 3 chapters without Harry. They will be very long and after those three I will post my normal lenght of chapters. I hope you will enjoy the story even so in the beginning there is no Harry.
This story is already finished and so you will get frequently updates.

Dear readers,
First, I want to remind you again that this story is AU. Severus’ father was a wizard in my story and not a Muggle! His mother was a witch and was very ill. She loved Severus, but wasn’t capable of fighting against her husband.

2. Chapter 2 - Adjusting (7-12) by grugster [Reviews - 10] (10051 words)
Dear readers,
Remember that I put the first chapters together because they are still without Harry. So I have to upload one mor chapter without Harry and then he finally will appear.
I also would like to make clear that Severus won't be deaged. He will have to grow up the normal way.

3. Chapter 3 - New friends (13-16) by grugster [Reviews - 6] (8098 words)
Dear readers,this is the last long chapter and the last without Harry. Next time I update it will be my normal short chapter and Harry will appear. From then on he will get more and more important.
Severus won't be re-aged!!! He will have to live this second childhood completely and grow naturally! This is a fluffy story without a lot of action!
