The Severance Line

by Linda-Nairika

Severus Snape is sitting on a branch of an old maple on the day, when he received his Hogwarts Letter, deep in thoughts. It's high time to contemplate, isn't it?

1. Preface

Preface

My intention is to tell you a long story about the Master of Dreams, and this is the first set of episodes, which is focused on his childhood before Hogwarts.

My story "A Master of Dreams" is a prologue to the series, but it's up to you, whether you read it before or after "The Severance Line", because the events described in the prologue would happen much later than the ones I am about to speak of here. As for the continuation of the tale from the point, where "A Master of Dreams" ends, it will follow soon, too. I do hope you won't mind some parallelism in reading.

This is an AU because of Severus Snape's parents. And I can't be sure I'll stay within the canon in every detail. ;)
