Severus's Pensieve

Meet Marcella Lynch. She's a ruff, rookie professor at Hogwarts. Voldemort is terrorizing Britain and the student population is becoming more and more wary of one another as reports of Death Eater activity roll in. You'll see how this new professor deals with gossip, an Order meeting, and pretentious colleagues.

Step back in time to 1971 as Marci experiences her first day of school at Hogwarts. Like the good first years they are, Marci and her best friend Jeanne, get lost in the dungeons. What kind of mischief will they get into and will they ever find their way out?

Marci relives one of the worst Halloweens of her life at Hogwarts but surprisingly it also turns out to be one of the best.

Could one lost love really have been the only thing that turned Severus into the angry, cruel, and sneering Potions Master that Harry met his first year? Starting in 1970 and continuing through the 80s, this story paints the lovely and often harrowing picture of Severus' life before he met Harry Potter. You’ll meet Severus’s most loyal companion, Marcella Lynch, from the beautiful beginning of their relationship first year, to the tragic end well after the wizarding world thought they were rid of the Dark Lord forever. This story is not an AU; it will work out to fit canon.
