Severus' Backstory
After HBP came out, I immediately started dreaming up and plotting my WIP, AMIEW. I had, in fact, written several chapters of a SS/HG story before HBP already, but that one was thoroughly canon shafted, and since I hadn't posted anything, I started all over. However, after HBP, I needed a backstory for Severus, I had to know what made him tick, and find out as much about him as I could think of. Thus, instead of writing SS/HG, something I always wanted to do, I first wrote my version of Severus' history. Since I'm a very slow writer, it took me ages to get these stories finished and to finally proceed to SS/HG. AMIEW is based on this, my, backstory, not on the canon version. All of them were written before DH.
The stories here are listed in the best order to read them. They start with 'The Train', which describes Severus' first train ride to Hogwarts and end with 'A Different Perspective', an effort to explain the events that led to Dumbledore's murder.
1. The Train
Eleven-year-old Severus Snape learns how to make friends and enemies on his first train ride to Hogwarts.
The Train was nominated for the 2006 OWL awards.
2. The Kiss
Severus Snape tells his best friend about his first kiss.
3. Decisions
Severus Snape invents a new spell and a friendship ends.
4. Why Dumbledore Trusted Snape
Young Severus Snape wants to leave Voldemort's service. Can Albus Dumbledore help him turn sides and stay alive?
A Different Perspective - Chapter 1
A Different Perspective - Chapter 2
What goes on in the hearts and minds of Dumbledore and Snape? Conversations between those two key players shed a new light on the events in HBP.
