    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore concocts a desperate plan to send Severus back to his last year at Hogwarts and save the Wizarding World from its future fate. What could go wrong? (Certainly not a budding relationship with the person he hated most in the world, nor being thrust into a position of power within the Order of the Phoenix.)

    Summary

    As much as he hated it, Severus was nearly certain he was right. He met Potter’s green gaze and steeled himself to speak the words.

    “Harry,” he whispered. “Your relatives were the ones who hurt you, weren’t they?”

    It was as though the life went out of him.

    Lily’s eyes turned dull and despairing. Glassy, pained, practically dead. Harry wrapped his arms around himself, shaking like a leaf. He looked ill.

    “I need you to tell me, Harry,” Severus said in a strained voice. “Am I right?”

    Severus prayed to every deity he could think of, hoping it wasn't true. He could still be wrong. There could be another option he was missing -

    But the boy nodded.
