Story Note:
First: so this story mixes canon with AU, so that means, do not tell me "this didn't happen in the book", this is fanfiction (which apparently is something that most people seem to forget) and as such, things will and can be shifted around to suit the story purpose. If you want canon, go read the books/watch the movie. Not trying to be mean, but I've seen way too many authors catch flack because they didn't write it exactly like the book/movie. Movies and books are art and as such, are open to interpretation, just like everything else. Also, we don't really know much about the Marauder years, except that Sirius left his home to live with James at some point, that a bullying incident in 5th year led to Snape calling Lily a "Mudblood" and thus ending their friendship, so I'm totally taking liberties to create this story
Second: the characters and ages: now, many stories have Lucius, and Snape and the Marauders and even the Weasley parents be the same ageā¦which is fine; again, fanfiction. However, according to Pottermore/HP-Lexicon, etc. Lucius is actually about 6 years older than Snape/Lily/the Marauders as he was born in 1954 and they were born in 1960 (well, the websites go either 1959 or 1960 but I just put it at 1960), so that means, when Snape and others were a first year, Lucius was a 7th; also, Arthur and Molly are ten years older than Sirius and them (born 1950), which makes Arthur 4 years older than Lucius and 1 year older than Bella (born 1951) weird, isn't it?
Anyways, since this is coming on to the end of their fifth year: Snape and them are 16/about to be 16 which makes Lucius 22, and Regulus 15 at 1 year younger than Sirius. Antonio Zabini is two years older than Snape, so he's 17 (about to be 18) and the Slytherin Head Boy.
Third: this story will definitely favour the Slytherins and will have the Gryffindors under the microscope, with their flaws out, especially when we get to canon Hogwarts (i.e. the original series). So, if you don't care for your precious Weasleys and Light side being called out, judged and whatever else, hit the back arrow please! š This is my story, and I have a right to write what I want, and how I want someone to be. If writing the Slytherins in good favour and the Gryffindors in bad light is not your cup of tea, then go read the multitude of stories, including canon, that features Good!Light Side/Gryffindors.
Setting: the Marauder Era; starts with Severus' and the Marauders' fifth year of school; AU with Canon mixed between.
Warnings: This story contains Adult Content (Alcohol Use, Language, Possible Sexual Situations of both Slash (M/M) and Het (M/F), and Violence), along with MPREG; if any of these are found to be offensive to anyone, I suggest you turn back now.

Story Summary: 16-year-old Severus Snape just wants to make it through school, protect his mother, and do something with his life. Losing a friendship was not in his plans, nor was gaining the attention of the most feared man in the Wizarding World, especially when he had a secret that no one knew. But with his friends by his side, old and surprisingly new ones, he would handle whatever came his way.

A/N: In regards to an update schedule, there really isn't one; I will try to update as frequently as I can, but please bear in mind that I do have a personal life, and I am also currently in what is technically my sophomore year of grad school. With that in mind, updates will be sporadic, but they will come.
