Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor any of the characters created by J.K. Rowlings. I do like to borrow them for time to time to star in the little plots that run through my mind.
Author’s Note: I know, I know. I have two Harry Potter fics pending, two for other fandoms and a challenge I myself issued (Inuyasha/Harry Potter), to write. For anyone interested go to my Inuyasha site the challenge is in the forum. Still this idea started popping up in my mind almost since I posted chapter two of Apprentice that’s about three months ago. Lately -meaning last week and part of this one or the beginning of February- the muses have been relentless. This means I have to write it, and did write a lot on paper. To my complete horror this same week someone posted a similar idea on the Severus/Harry or the Harry/Severus searches (grrrr I wanted to the plotline to be original, but someone beat me to it!) I’m probably not going to update often (I rarely do anyway) but I just had to get this off my mind or go crazy.
I don’t have a clear idea where I want to go with this one, though I do have a slight tendency to have subplots to the same plot and this one so far has at least a couple so far. Still, I’m going to let it flow and see what comes up. This won’t be slash either. I don’t think I can write it, but since I don’t know where this story is going, well… let’s leave all options open.
Going back to the theme of being original, about a month ago I came upon a story in ff.net that deals with the same although in a completely humorous way, it had me laughing to tears in parts. It’s by Celeste and the name is ‘Three Gryffindors and a Baby’. For the sake of this plot I probably won’t read the other Snape is a baby fics, at least until I finish this one. Anyway, there goes my idea of writing something not done yet. Still, that does not mean I won’t write this story.
This story won’t be humor since I can’t write it well and there are differences in the theme I want to deal with. I also won’t make Harry a brat, like he was portrayed in book five. I just don’t believe the change in character from the previous books to book five was sufficiently justified (my own and a friend’s opinion, and everyone has a right to disagree with this).
Warnings:
- I don’t believe I can call this completely AU (Alternate Universe) since it deals with Harry’s sixth year, and well the book has not been out yet. Still, I think it’s very unlikely JK Rowlings would use this kind of plot for her next installment of Harry Potter.
- Not a native English speaker writing.
- Characters might be Out Of Character (OOC) actually, Severus will be (obviously since he’ll be a baby
- There will be spoilers for all five books.
