Difference in the past
~What would Harry's life have been like if he only needed to be at the Dursley's for 6 years, what if his real father came and got him? (Severitus)
Chapter 1, The Beginning:
Severus Snape stood outside the ruin of Godrics Hollow, Lily and James Potter's bodies lay dead and in his arms he held a child, a 1 year old boy known to the wizarding world as Harry James Potter, known to Lily and Severus Snape as Emrys Severus Snape.
It is a well know fact that Severus Snape and Lily Evans had been married, Lily even gave birth to her first child with Severus, Sean Severus Snape before their tragic divorce 3 years later. What many did not know was that Lily and Severus did not really have a divorce, although Albus Dumbledore may have guessed, it was a staged divorce, in which Severus and Lily planned to protect both themselves and their children from the growing power of Voldemort. Lily was pregnant with her second child as this was planned. After the staged divorce she 'ran' to her friends James Potter who, agreed to marry Lily for the sake of the child. Severus met secretly with Lily after his son's birth, they cast a temporart glamour charm that could only be removed by one of them, cause Emry's, now Harry to look like his staged father, James Potter.
On October 31, Severus was in tears, he had left his older son, Sean in the care of Madam Pomfrey at Hogwarts and fled to Godrics Hollow when news of Voldemorts attack spread. Who would he meet there but his former headmaster Albus Dumbledore and the man he spied on Voldemort for, yes he was also a spy in Voldemorts inner circle.
"I am so sorry Severus", Albus said softly grasping Severus's shoulder
"Emry's lived!" Severus told him, "but Lily..she is...gone!" he cried.
"So it is true then Severus, as I guessed your divorce was staged?"
Severus whispered "Yes, we both wanted to protect Sean and Emrys, and now, now it was a failure!"
"It was not a failure Emry's and Sean are alive!"
"Yes...you are correct...but how can I possibly raise 2 children alone?"
"Severus I am afraid I have some terrible news, you see Emry's, he is the child in the prophesy, you know of what I speak, Voldemort has marked him as his equal, he will not rest until Har..Emry's is dead!" Albus said.
"So he has not died then?"
"No, he may have lost his body, his soul is yet to be destroyed", Albus thought for a moment, "your son will be safest with a blood protection spell" he told Severus.
"How, Lily died for him, how could the spell possibly be invoked?"
"Lily had a sister..."
"Petunia! Of course, she never mentioned her much, but we should be able to find her cast the spell, and I could take Emrys and Sean and raise them partially in the muggle world, as Lily wanted..we still have the house we used to live in you know, in Surrey"
"Severus my boy, I'm afraid there is something to the spell you do not know, you see, the person the spell is wished to be invoked on must reside with the relation for six years, without outside interference, you would not be able to see or have any contact for that matter with Emry's until he is seven years old!"
"Albus that is nuts, I cannot abandon my child to some aunt I have never met!"
"It is the only way Severus, would you rather him dead?"
"No, there has to be another way" Severus spoke through his grief.
"It is the only way I am sorry Severus, I must take Emry's as soon as possible."
"At least let me say goodbye, oh I am so sorry Lily and you Emry's, I will see soon, I love you!" and with that Severus Snape, did something he had never before done in public, he bent down and gave his son a delicate kiss on the forehead, right next to the lightning bolt scar that would forever mark him.
As Albus and Emry's disapperared with 'pop', Severus whispered "until our next meeting."
