    Summary

    In September of 1971, Severus Snape finds a forgotten portrait of the Slytherin family in a dark corner of the Slytherin Common Room. At the time, he has no idea that talking portrait will affect the rest of his life.

    On 31st July 1995, Harry Potter disappears from Little Whinging a few minutes after midnight. The means of his departure are unfathomable, and the Order's only relief in their concern is the fact that Voldemort was not responsible.

    The rest of Wizarding Britain is too busy tearing down their Wizarding Savior via the press to be much concerned, at least until certain Slytherin allies decide that enough is fucking well enough.

    Love - on the first part

    Its interesting but felt a bit glazy towards Nizar and the founders. Everything was better in the founder's era? And its not really explained why Hogwart's standards have gone down so much, or why so much knowledge has been lost. Nizar is apparently able to educate Hogwarts teachers of new potions and new spells which none of them have ever heard of before.

    There is little to no plot advancement. Harry Potter has gone missing, and there isn't anything of significance being done to retrieve him. If Nizar has a potential solution, why wouldn't he immediately meet the headmaster?

    I do love the dynamics between him and Severus. And I love Kanza the most.
