This is the complete story with added on chapters from another story I posted. My style of writing is not for everyone, I know it is a bit different. I set it up for there to be a sequel so in your review please let me know if you would like me to write a second story from this.

VOLDEMORT NEVER EXISTED WHICH MEANS THE POTTERS ARE STILL ALIVE AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY HAVE DIED. HARRY, RON AND HERMIONE ARE STILL BEST FRIENDS. EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PERSONALITY AS YOU KNOW THEM TO HAVE. SOME ASPECTS ARE DIFFERENT IN MY STORY THEN IN THE BOOKS/MOVIES. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FAMILIAR, CHANCES ARE I'VE CHANGED IT. AN EXAMPLE BEING, PARENTS DROP THEIR KIDS OFF AT HOGWARTS INSTEAD OF THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS.

CHAPTER 1

Ron, Hermione and Harry arrived at the front gate of Hogwarts at the same time they did every year. As usual, Hagrid was waiting with a dumb smile on his face, giving out high fives to all the 7th years. He was especially proud this year because his three favorite students were ending their journey. He would miss them, but at the same time he couldn't wait for the world to experience their brilliance.

Hagrid: Hermione! Ron! Harry! Welcome back! I've missed you.

Harry: Hagrid you big goon, have you been waiting here for us again?

Hagrid: Yes sir, haven't moved from this here spot since the morn.

Hagrid bent down and gave Harry a giant bear hug.

Hermione: Hey Hagrid. It's great to see you.

Ron: Oy! Missed you too!

Ron and Hermione together gave the giant a warm hug.

Hagrid: You lot need some help with your things? I have Buckbeak waiting just over there to give you a ride.

Harry: No thanks! My mum wanted to spend some time with me before she leaves. And I think the Weasley's will do the same. Try Hermione.

Hagrid: Well alright.

Hagrid turned to look for Hermione

Hagrid: Hey Hermione…need a lift?

Hermione: That would be great. Let me just say goodbye to my parents.

Hermione went over to her parents and hugged them goodbye. They drove off in their 2007 Honda Civic. Muggles.

Hermione: Right. Let's go. Bye Harry. Bye Ron. See you at dinner.

Ron: Yeah. Bye.

Harry waved.

Harry: My parents and I are going to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. Care to join us?

Ron: I think I will pass. Mum is already scattered enough dealing with Ginny's stuff. I will just find you later.

Harry: Suit yourself.

Harry watched the Weaslys climb on a carriage and rush off to the castle. An hour later, Harry and his parents were at the Three Broomsticks enjoying their drinks.

Harry: You guys should be going. It will be dark soon enough.

Lily Potter: Right you are Harry. Your father and I only wanted to spend as much time as we can with you.

James Potter: Tell me again about this years Quidditch tryouts?

Lily Potter: I will not be bothered by that horrid story yet again. I'll go for a walk. Maybe get some sweets at Honeyduke's. Be right back.

Lily stood up and went outside. She walked down the path to view the shrieking shack. She remembered her childhood. She and her friends playing there together. They called it "headquarters". This thought calmed her. She often missed her friends. Remus, Sirius, Moody…but they were all busy with their careers and she didn't see them much. She heard someone approaching behind her.

Snape: Why hello there Mrs. Potter.

Lily: Severus!

Lily hugged Severus.

Lily: How are you? How was your summer? I meant to write I really did but James and Harry kept me so busy with plans for next year. It was maddening. I didn't even get to see Molly Weasley!

Snape: Its ok. Pretty boring. A few first years stayed behind for summer school. Dumbledoor put me on them. It was horrible.

Lily: I'm sure they now know who the scariest person at the school is.

Lily laughed

Snape: Yes, well. You know me.

Lily: Say, why didn't you come to Harry's birthday party? We invited all his Professors. Almost everyone made it.

Snape: Oh Lily. You know the second Professors show anything but discipline to these kids they walk all over you.

Lily: No, you are just cold and harsh. I would very much like people to see you as I do. Kind, gentle, happy…well, happier.

Snape grinned.

Snape: They know when I am pleased with them. If they aren't being punished, they know they have done a good job. And Harry is the best in my class, next to Granger of course so he rarely has detention, don't you worry.

Lily: Don't go easy on him just because he is my son.

Snape: We've been over this.

Lily: I know. But I still wonder about you.

Snape: Lily I can assure you, my personal feelings for you left long ago when you married that snot nose Potter.

Lily: So you say. Yet I haven't seen you take a fancy to anyone in years. Not since me. I don't think you have ever taken a fancy to anyone else in your whole life!

Snape: Dear Lily. You are my closest friend. I tell you everything. You are the only person I can bear to have a conversation with. Don't you think I would tell you something like that?

Snape blushed a little. Of course Lily caught it.

Lily: So there is someone?

Snape: No there isn't. You're mad.

Lily: Come on Severus talk to me. It's about time. We haven't had a real talk since last summer when you came to visit.

Snape: Alright alright. Bloody hell woman you drive me mad sometimes you know that?

Lily: Talk.

Snape: There is a girl..er..woman who I've taken a liking to. She's smart, sophisticated, pretty. The opposite of me. But it can never be. It's too complicated.

Lily: I see. Well, my advice to you is this: You deserve whoever this mystery woman is. And she would be lucky to have you in her life. Just give it a chance.

Snape: If you only knew.

Lily: Well I highly doubt you would tell me if I begged.

Snape: Right you are.

Lily: Let yourself be happy Severus. I'm sorry but I have to be getting back. Harry needs to get to the Great Hall before dinner.

Snape: Dearest Lily, please don't stray away from me again. You are my only friend.

He smiled slightly.

Lily: I wouldn't dream of it.

Lily leaned in and kissed him on the check. She smiled, and apparated back to her family.
