Disclaimer: I will only put this in this once, the entire world of Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury and Warner Bros and I in no way benefit from this.
Prologue
31st of October 1981 - Godric's Hollow, West Country
Snape was running faster than he'd ever run in his life. Damned Fidelius charm, he thought to himself. He needed to get to the boy, before the Order got wind of what happened. This was it, his one and only chance to set right all his wrongs. If only… No, no good on dwelling on If only's and What ifs, he was determined to get something right, dammit!
He finally arrived at the house. He had known it would be a mess, but he hadn't expected this. Half a wall was completely blown out and he could hear the wailing of an infant from the hole in the wall. He swallowed and made his way through the rubble to the door that hung off its hinges. With a sneer he stepped over Potter's body, barely resisting the urge to kick his lifeless body a few times. He followed the corridor up the stairs, stopping in front of the room where the crying came from.
"You're here to get her son, for Lily. Come on, Severus, you can do this." he muttered to himself, praying that he wouldn't have to look at her.
He stepped into the room, glancing around to find Harry in his crib, crying his eyes out. He quickly made his way towards the crib, but bumped into something with his foot as he stepped forward. He knew that if he looked at Lily now, he wouldn't be able to keep it together properly. He fought with himself, but he had to, he couldn't not. He looked down. He didn't look back up for a long time. When he finally did look up, there were tears leaking from his eyes and his face was set in a very grim expression. Without another word, he grabbed Harry and walked out of Godric's Hollow, away from any Death Eaters the Dark Lord might have brought with him and also away from whoever would be sent to collect Harry for the Order. He'd be damned if either side would try to manipulate Harry as he had been manipulated. He'd promised Lily to take care of her son, so he would, in his own way.
Harry Potter wasn't heard of or seen ever again.
A/N: So, this is just a little idea that's been running through my head for a while.
Let me know what you thought, I really don't know if I should continue this or not.
Also, ideas on a title would be welcome XD
