Story Notes:
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read. This will be a multi-chapter fic that will potentially become a series (no promises on that though). I am not sure how deep I want the relationship between Snape and Harry to get because I am challenging myself to be as true to the characters as possible. Any and all feedback is heartily appreciated as I am using this for my own writing and editing practice.
Also, for those of you who have not read the Order of the Phoenix recently, and are a little rusty on the canon events leading up to this story I have added some key ones below.
· Dumbledore has been excused from Hogwarts after the DA was discovered
· Umbridge has now replaced Dumbledore as headmaster.
· Harry has looked into Severus’ pensieve hoping to discover his true loyalties but finding a memory of James bullying him and Severus calling Lily a mud-blood. His ‘worst’ memory.
· Severus tells Potter he will not teach him Occlumency again and throws a jar of beetles at his head.
Enjoy!
