    Summary

    Harry survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then the years he spent staying alive on the streets of London.

    Situations weren’t impossible, not when Harry had the one thing that kept him safe and made him special: magic.

    And then getting to go to school filled with other magic kids? Getting a gang of his very own? Finding out that he was famous and getting to learn more and more magic?

    Life was brill.

    Life was not so ‘brill’ for Severus Snape who saw a small boy covered in scars, stuttering when he spoke, and seemed to be filled with unresolved trauma. The boy he vowed to keep safe had a true knack for chaos, a knack that even Severus could hardly contain.

    Welcome… to Year One.

    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.

    The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.

    Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"

    "He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."

    "But Potter, really?" said Severus.

    "He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."

    Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."

    "Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.

    (Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)
