A newly developed version of the Time-Turner will allow thirty-seven year old Harry Potter to travel back to his fifth year at Hogwarts and save Sirius Black. The catch? He can't communicate with his former self, only Severus Snape. Which means convincing Snape to convince his former self to take the upcoming Occlumency lessons seriously.

Harry and Dudley were raised by muggles. Magic hating muggles at that. When Dudley had begun showing signs of magic at a young age, precious Duddykins had become the dirt upon their shoes, alongside his younger cousin (Little brother) Harry. When both boys were shunned from their meant-to-be protectors, but thrown into the magical world with nothing but each other how will they cope? And what happens when you add that darned Potions professor in the mix?

But the Slytherins didn't treat him like a freak. They didn’t make him do their cooking or cleaning because the house-elves did all that. They didn’t smack him around if he didn’t do their homework for them because they didn’t ask him to do their homework.

No one had been shocked when Harry Potter- boy-who-lived, savior of the wizarding world - was sorted into Slytherin house more than Severus Snape. And no one, bar maybe the boy himself, had been more enraged when Harry Potter was taken out of the dungeons and placed high in Gryffindor tower than Severus Snape, either. Which meant that it would be up to one Severus Snape to bring his snake back to where he belonged, Dumbledore's plan be damned.

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” - Oscar Wilde

What if Harry forgives Snape for all the hurt? How would Snape react to this? Snape has, after all, spent so much of his time wallowing in bitterness. Being forgiven is not something he expected. But what if Harry enjoys the reactions forgiving his enemies brings? What if he starts a trend?
