Potions and Snitches :: watercrystals

Summary: While waiting in Dumbledore's office, Snape and Harry are suddenly transported deep inside a series of unending memories with no way out and with no choice but to live untouched or heard inside another time...a time in which Snape is familiar with.

Harry and Snape are transported back to the summer before Snape's 4th year. The year after the Marauders became animagus' and a year before he lost his friendship with Lily. They cannot leave the room that young Severus (of that time-line) is in but have no need for sleep, water or food. They cannot change anything because as far as the people of that time are aware, they don't even exist.

So if they have to be in the same room as 14yr old Severus and there is no way for them to leave (although obviously they don't stay there forever) then it should provide some great entertainment.

Harry can be in 5th year or an AU 4th year.

Requirements:

Must be in-character
Harry and Snape must have no idea at all how it happened or how to get back
Must include at some point an appearance at Spinner's End (a good place to start the story if you like, such as the last few days of summer before starting 4th year. I doubt Snape would want to return there during the Christmas etc, but if you can find a way around it, cool)
Must show some similarities between their lives, such as home neglect, lack of present expectations during Christmas etc. and anything else you can think of
Must have at least one day in which they are both "crazy" such as arguing more than usual and being a bit irrational. Can be however you like, but they just need to "lose it" for a while
Have humor, however please try to include the emotional aspect too, like Harry sympathizing with Snape while the man wishes he hadn't lost Lily etc.

Bonuses:

Have Harry endure at least one day in which he answers questions in class etc., but of course no one can hear him. Snape may find this annoying or amusing, either...or both.
Snape finding out that Harry recognizes the Slytherin common room (from 2nd year polyjuice potion) and his reactions
Obviously the Marauder's pranks are to be shown at some point as well. Either Harry can be really mad about this (remembering the Mudblood memory) or thinks it's funny until he realizes that his father is a real bully and not just getting Snape back for something or whatever. Snape can be shocked by this, thinking Harry would have cheered his father and godfather on.

It is up to you everything else, also if they have their wands/can to magic even though it won't effect the world around them. Also remember that no one can hear them or see them or even feel them etc.. They can't sit in chairs unless the room is empty (apart from young Severus of course) etc. although Harry is welcome to climb a tree or something like that, but you get the drift. A good way to tell the difference between the Snapes is that the one from Harry's time is referred to as "Snape" and the younger as "Severus".
