I don’t think I’ve ever been completely normal. Not once, in my entire life, have I been what anybody would call “normal.” It’s a tad bit sad, knowing you’re the only one who doesn’t live up to anybody’s expectations.

So I lay still, swearing at them between gasps. A blade was held against my throat.``"How'd you like that haircut to begin just below the chin?"" ~S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“Severus, you’re home.” “Indeed.” Just a little Snape piece.

Eighteen-year-old Harry Potter, despite being the celebrated "Chosen One" who'd recently vanquished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at last (not to mention his preceded glory as the "Boy Who Lived"), suffers greatly in the aftermath. Over a month has so far passed since that final showdown at Hogwarts, yet STILL — the young adult wizard cannot sleep, cannot close his eyes without seeing vivid images of that horrific night jog hauntingly across his mind without end. Nevertheless, as Harry now returns to Hogwarts for his rather "belated" seventh year (if one could call it), an unexpected person shockingly spotlights into Harry's traumatized life, even proving to be the beginning of a new, unimaginable attraction and interest: Draco Malfoy!

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.
