With the anniversary of the defeat of Voldemort fast approaching, the Wizarding World is finding it hard to bounce back. It is then that a certain Trio (plus one) find a chance to fix things the first time around far too good an opportunity to pass up. Harry hopes to save those he lost, including a certain Potions Master.

    Good save from Ron over the Bellatrix boggart. Lupin likely only saw it for a moment and could pass it off as a Muggle horror movie fear.

When a potion explodes in NEWT Potions class, Severus Snape finds himself in an interesting predicament… he really hates when people stare at him. Ron thinks Harry has a hero complex when he tries to help Snape, but has no idea that Harry is the one that needs saving. A one-shot.

    I was glad that you explained why Harry's friends didn't talk to him. I could see Ron backing off but not Hermione. The Ravenclaws were lucky that Snape didn't decide to take revenge. He must have really had a change of heart. It sounds like he will be a better teacher for the experience.

When Harry arrived at Hogwarts, no one expected Professor Snape to be his favourite teacher – no one, except the mysteriously familiar witch teaching DADA.

AU. Romance tag is for Lily/Severus, but isn't relevant until later in the story.

    I'm glad that Harry has the support of his mother in your story and (hopefully) eventually his father, too. It should help him get over his self-doubt. The sentiment behind Snape's questions to Harry were an interesting touch. Yet no one but Lily would have ever been able to interpret it.

    Author's Response: Loved reading this, thank you!! Don't worry, Severus won't be excluded from all this family bonding forever ;)

    Welcome back, watercrystals. I've been looking forward to your return and here you are with a brand new story! That was an interesting first chapter. I look forward to finding out in more detail exactly what Lily has been up to all this time. Severus reaction to the disguised Lily should be worth finding out. Will he be attracted or will Lily act different enough to fool him?

    Author's Response:

    Oh my gosh, thank you!! 

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. You'll find those things out very soon. Thanks for the review!

    Not sounding good for Harry's first Potions class. Lily does have her work cut out for her. I enjoyed Harry and Lily's bonding. The stuffed bat with cloak-like wings made me chuckle.

    Author's Response:

    I was hoping someone would comment on the bat, thank you :)

    Lily's got the biggest job of all, but I sure love writing it!

    Harry had an easier time than I thought he would. I'm glad of that since he was looking forward to class with his dad so much. I wonder how Snape is getting on with Lily?

    Author's Response:

    Harry's very keen. Severus could have crushed the boy's excitement, but he really wasn't expecting things to go how they went either. Poor Sev is the least informed lol.

    Severus and Lily will be interacting more and more as the fic goes along. Thank you for the review!!

    I like that Ron was more open to learning positive things about Slytherin. He seems more confident than he is often portrayed. It was a nice opening to getting Hermione introduced, too.

A chance occurrence gives Snape and Harry a little bit of common ground.

    That was a neat way of getting Snape to share some information about Harry's family with him. I liked the concept of the Biting Beans, too. I can imagine them in the greenhouse with Professor Sprout's other magical plants.

“You aren’t afraid of me. Why?” He asked, head cocked to the side as he openly studied Harry.

Harry’s smile was brilliant.

“Because you aren’t scary.”

    I love this story. Harry's reasons for liking Snape make sense (though not to Severus). It sounds like Harry is the perfect Gryffindor. Any thoughts of a longer sequel?

    Author's Response: Maybe.  One day.  I'm actually having a couple of thoughts in the direction of Harry explaining himself to his friends . . .

Harry's Gringotts account is empty, with two years left at Hogwarts. What is he going to do? Get a job working for his Potions Master, that's what.

    I know Harry wants to save as much money as he can but maybe he should break down and buy himself something to eat besides toast and cereal. He can't keep this up on just that. I wonder how Snape is making out with Molly? He is probably feeling so bad that the attention will be a relief.
