What could have happened between Lily and Severus if he had said the right thing outside the Gryffindor Common Room. This story is AU. Everything you recognize belongs to JKR everything else is me. Rating is for violence, language and some adult content.

Voldemort chooses Neville but the Potters do not escape unscathed. Five years later, Lily Potter walks back into Severus Snape's life. Things are about to get complicated. AU Severus/Lily.

What if Alice and Hatter met as teens, during a difficult time in their lives? Would they still fall for each other? Rated M just in case because I'm not sure how the last chapter will go.
