A/N: mabonwitch, I hope you enjoy this! This is in response to your prompt: After the first war, Snape and Remus get together. They adopt and raise Harry. I tweaked it a bit, but it's essentially the same. I also messed with the timeline a bit. Per canon, Frank and Alice Longbottom were attacked after James and Lily died. In this fic, I place it earlier, before the death of the Potters. Keep in mind also, that Severus and Remus are only twenty-one. I believe the years in between the wars made Snape more bitter, more weary and cold, so he's just a tad more forgiving here, though still very snarky. Plus, who can resist a baby, I ask you? Regardless, I hope you enjoy this glimpse of the beginning... Many thanks to my betas, S, T, M, and J - you gals are awesome.
