There was one I ran across dealing with Snape becoming a kid in a potions
accident while teaching class, Harry and the rest of them where in it, so it
seemed. That is Snape was the only one affected he protected everyone else from
the explosion, or potions accident.

I haven't been able to remember where I ran across that story and am hoping I
can get so help finding this story, or if anyone knows where this story can be
found and it's title???

 Arualcopia's A Potion Accident is amazing. The accident leaves them with 15
toddlers. Snape takes Draco(Godson) and Harry(because he is quiet). It is great
but seems to be abandoned:(. Don't know if this is thhe one your looking for.
More details please.

"A Warm Touch of Magic" by shedoc is a very good deaged Snape story.  Not sure
if it's the one you're looking for, though.

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone remembers a story, where Snape blood adopts Harry,
then accuses Dumbledore of 'hiding' the fact.  I'm pretty sure that I read it on
the archive.

clear contempt for Harry during the past year. He had, however, saved Harry at
least twice now, and this just left him confused about the wizard. As a result,

stepped away from the bed as Severus coaxed Harry awake."

A Nick in Time is a great story with adults professors Snape and Harry both
deaged, and being raised by Ron and Hermione.   Great portrait of Snape as a
dark and suspicious child.  My only complaint about the story is that it wasn't
much, much longer.

There is a sequel to "A Nick in Time" called "Growing Pains", which is found at
the same site.  It continues where "A Nick..." left off and is very good.

i found a story based on drgnmstrs sorting abuse challenge, while i loved it i
couldnt find very many more so if anybody knows more stories based on the
challenge could you post them so i can read them.

of course you could always write the story for yourself as well, and i
personally dont mind seeing it with snape taking care of harry in some form
wether informally just being someone to help him get through the abuse or even
as harrys guardian

Fic Fest time again! Here's how it works: participants list what they are
willing to write and what they would like to read.  The authors are then
assigned a fic request.  Each participant can list prompts, favorite genres,
favorite characters, ideal length, what they don't want to see, etc.

If you would like to participate, please copy the template below, fill it in
with as much detaiil as you can and then reply to this news item and paste the
filled-in template.

Sign-ups end 13 December.  Complete stories will be due 13 February.  And the
exchange will begin the next day.  Please don't sign up if you will not be able
to finish your fic.  An unfinished fic in this fest means that someone won't
receive their gift!

Also, I need moderators, betas, and pinch-hitters to be willing to write in case
someone has an emergency and needs to drop out.  Reply to this item if you want
to help out in any of these ways. Thanks.

Severitus was the name of an author who first started writing Snape as Harry's
father stories.  The name kinda stuck.

story, what its telling me that story will be about.

Generally, Severitus is the name given when the story follows the specific
challenge the Author Severitus put forth, which had particular plot points as
part of the challenge.  Sevitus is the more general name for any story where
Snape is the Father (biological or adopted), whether or not the specific plot
points are adopted.  Not sure if there are specific names for the latter two
types of stories.

I don't know about two of them, but the Severitus is more than Severus being
Harry's father. There are very specific rules that make a story a Severitus.
Follow this link. http://www.severitus.net/thechallenge.htm. If a story has
Severus adopting Harry, or he his Harry's biological father and the story does
not follow the rules of the Severitus Challenge, it it a Sevitus.

Severitus was the name of an author who first started writing Snape as Harry's
father stories.  The name kinda stuck.

Hi I am looking for a story, whose tite I thought was "severus snape 16 and 3/4"
the story has him de-aged to his 16yr self without his memories of his former
life, Harry Potter takes him in at Grimmauld place.

I think that all i remember about the story, I am not even sure it's a Gen fic
or Snarry or whatever just it looks interesting in the fact that Snape is 16 and
the world isn't as he remembers it and how he copes with it and with Harry
Potter taking him in.

Any help in locating this story would be greatly appreciated

Anyone who wants a go at writing it, because frankly by the time I get it done
it will be two years gone. So here it is take it as a challenge if you will,
send it out if you want to:

The Story Title: Lovingly Yours P.M. Severus T. Snape

Severus Snape becomes deaged in a depressed funk when he hears that Lily Evans
really went and did it, she really married the bastard Potter! He spits that
name disdainfully as he starts throwing ingrediants together, what's the point
now of hope? Hoping she would wake up and see what a waste of space that, that
ninny brute potter was.

Taking his Lily, what was left for him? Sure he was the youngest potions master,
sure he has several potions patent, he was fairly wealthy, and he wasn't some
despised poorly dressed ragga muffin now! He was respectable, well he had the
Dark Lords mark.

what a mistake that had been, the man was becoming more and more insane and
irradical in his use of unforgivables and in his research for what, only the mad
man knows for sure, but Severus had his guesses. His once respect and loyalty
for the man had made a u-turn soon after he realized what it meant to serve to
be nothing more than a pawn killing innocent children and babes in their moms
arms, that wasn't right! That wasn't what he had signed up for! He wanted power,
wealth respect. Those ideas of Blood purity weren't really something he cared
about but if he was in the right crowd, not that Lucious and his friends where
necessarily the right crowd, but he had owed Lucious for becomming his friend
and taking an interest in his brilliance for potions.

Giving him his help, but for a price, ohh! there always was price with friends
like Lucious and his crowd. But whay couldn't Lily see? he had only acted that
way to make himself less of a target in his House? old Slughorn wasn't much for
being hands on in the house and he didn't seem to take a great deal of interest
in helping Slytherine house become more respected and fair minded. And
Dumbledore, that old fool had allowed Gryfindors to become such bullys to think
all from Slytherin where Dark Wizards, just becuase a few truly evil wizards
came from that house didn't make it fair to treat all Slytherins like despots
and vile evil beings. That hadn't been right.

As his fury mounted the more he fumed and then he just didn't care what he threw
in to the potions pot again what was the point, he was going to kill himself and
he was going to do it at the Evans he knew Lily was probably there visiting her
family after a years worth of Honeymooning, oh yes that had been something to
hear alright!

Bastard had taken her on a world tour, he found himself sicking up just thinking
about it. All his plans Lily and his plans to become potioneers together. He
knew in the last two years of school he really should have given up the ghost
when it came to her, but she was Lily, he couldn't just let her go, surely she
would see? Surely she would forgive him at last for what he had said on that
hateful day?

He had waited in missery after trying everything he could to get her to forgive
him for that day. He had been willing to wait for years for that day to come.
And he thought he still could have waited years more if she hadn't gone an
married that blasted jackass potter!

He watched his brew boil and steam becoming a deep red as blood color it became
even darker than blood red and he felt the potion was nearing its toxic most
dangerous peak when it would be time to bottle it and let it cool for a few
hours. Oh yes if he couldn't have her than he would give her something to truly
remember him bye, a man who would truly die for her, as if Potter could be that
man. He sniffed derisively.

He wouldn truly show her how sorry he was for that day.

He took the viel of cooling poison with him and he apparated to the Evans home,
he could sense her in there, he had always been able to feel her presence her
warmth and love and light that surrounded her. He missed that so much. All the
todying and talking pleasant to people learning people skills and using subtle
lies and pleasantries to be considered cultured and respectable. None of that
was who he was he missed his honest and indearing conversations with Lily her
care and love was true for him, even if that love hadn't been the love he had
desired her to feel for him. She was the sun to his darkness and he couldn't
bear it any longer to never see her again. Like Potter would ever let her see
Snape.

He went up to the door and knocked one brisk solid bang of his fist on the door
he brought the potion out of his cloak and took the cap off he downed as the
door opened to reveal Mr. Evans.

He looked surprised to see Severus Snape at the door, Severus had been made
aware that he was no longer welcome at the Evans if he continue to go with death
eater scum. And Severus had chosen not to put the Evans at risk by associating
with them once Lily had made it clear that he was no longer her friend if he
continued to court the death eaters and their evil lord and their disgusting
views.

"I apologize Mr. Evans but I haven't a lot of time could you be so kind as to
bring Lily to the door I want her to know something very important from my
heart."

Mr. Evans looked troubled and worried for Severus but he nodded and went to
bring Lily.

Severus was starting to feel the effects of the poison, he felt a heat wave
accompnied by a dizzyness and spots in his eyes. He felt himself begin to sway
he knew he was about to fall dead any moment he wanted her to know that he had
loved her and still did to this very day.

"Father He has nothing I want hear, not anymore."

"lily please just hear the man out he seems to have something urgently important
to say to you."

"Fine." he couldn't hear her comming to the door with her father in tow.

"Mr. Snape," her eyes were not softly looking at him like he had hoped but he
knew this was his only chance to tell her truly his feelings for her, selfish as
they maybe, they were how he felt for her.

"There has never been nor will there ever be anyone else but you who were a true
friend to me,I love you Lily, I really truly sincerely lorff.." he slid to the
ground then with a small little smile upon his face. Lily looked striken.

Severus! Severus what did you do?! She reached out to him as he slid to the
porch's floor his body began to writhe and could't breath he felt so hot and
unable to think, pain traveled though his body, he felt his bone changing and
felt himself becoming distant from her, she looked so much larger than him, he
figured he must be floating in astrel form cause she sure looked big.

Lily Evan stared at the piles of clothing that had belonged to Severus Snape
Potions Master, she was shocked at seeing him writhe in pain and somehow
disapearing, she scrabbled searching the clothes for any sign of her dear
Severus.

What she found she couldn't quite believe, a baby in all his naked glory laid
there where Severus had been.

This can be re-written to suit, but Severus does wind up with Lily and James he
becomes Harry's big brother, I don't know if I want him to retain his memories
or not, but he definetly has some memories of his life as a child within his
home on Spinners End. Tobias Snape had not been a good father to Severus and his
Mother Eileen was not as strong as she should have been, not saying she wasn't a
loving mother but, staying with a man who hates you and loves you but really
thinks of you and your son as unnatural, a freak, not really the best move
staying with that guy. He wasn't a good father to Severus and wasn't much of a
provider either.

Right, continuing Severus becomes a big brother to harry, but he starts out a
little jealous having to share Lily even though she went to great extremes
helping him to understand that he has nothing to be jealous about, he was going
to be a big brother. Of course Severus is three years old when Harry is born and
does infact becoming a very happy big brother and adores Harry.

Unfortunatley the ending will be as it was, it becomes full circle with Lily's
demise by the dark lord and Severus becomes Albus Dumbldore's man.

in the JK Rowling Lily and James die, shortly after Severus returns to his full
growth, only confused and not sure how to regain his life, after being Lily's
son.

Time passes Harry is with the Duresleys There could be a sequel but I don't know
when I would get this one done and tacking on s sequel would be harder still.

Hi Jazzy, 
As the founder of Potions and Snitches perhaps I can try. :)
First of all, we do have a couple of places on the Potions and Snitches archive
that explain the categories.
This is the list of categories on the
archive:http://www.potionsandsnitches.net/fanfiction/browse.php?type=categories
This is the categories explanation area from the Submission
Rules:http://www.potionsandsnitches.net/fanfiction/viewpage.php?page=rulesall#ca\
tegories
In brief, a Severitus is a story that answers a special challenge. The challenge
is named after an author.
A Sevitus is a story where Snape is Harry's biological father. On fanfiction.net
and other places it is okay if adopted father stories are also labeled as
Sevitus. On the P&S archive, however, we use the Sevitus category for biological
father stories, and the Father or Guardian categories for adoption (with Father
being a closer relationship than Guardian - it depends on what Harry thinks).
The Sevitus term also includes almost-Severitus stories that don't completely
follow the challenge.
I am not sure about the other two terms you listed, they could be either author
names or spelling mistakes.
When Harry is adopted by Snape it is called an adoption fic. Generally on P&S we
put these under either the Guardian or Father categories and apply the Adoption
warning. In summaries you can call it a "Snape is Harry's guardian fic" or
"Guardian fic."
For a story in which Snape mentors Harry we call it a mentor fic and put it
under the Mentor category. You can also call it a "Snape and Harry mentoring
fic" or "Snape mentors Harry." A mentor fic in general is where a character
teaches another character, but they also become close like friends or relatives.
A Teacher fic on P&S is where Snape teaches Harry, but they do not really become
close. It is more of the actual canon relationship (like in the books).
If a story is told from Snape's point of view we summarize it as "Snape's point
of view" or "Snape's POV." On P&S we put those stories in the Snape Centric
category, and whatever other category it fits under.
If you want a bit of a history lesson...
Years ago (around the year 2000), Snape and Harry stories were new and no one
had a name for them. The concept was exciting, and the few well-written stories
rose in popularity.
Severitus was an author who started such stories and loved to read them. Around
2001 he published what is known as "The Severitus Challenge." It was a challenge
to write a story that followed certain rules, most notedly that Severus Snape be
revealed to be Harry's father, Remus Lupin come to teach at Hogwarts, and Harry
have his physical appearance change gradually. There were several scenes or
conversations given at the end of the challenge to be used in such a story.
Every story written in response must list itself as a Severitus Challenge story.
Several authors started responses to the challenge. The fandom was moderately
sized back then (small in comparison to today) so any response that was written
somewhat well was easily discovered. Each story spread the Challenge along to
new authors, and the genre grew. Eventually the meaning of the Severitus
Challenge was lost, people started to write stories without knowing all the
rules and called them Severitus Challenge stories, or Severitus stories.
Unfortunately, some thought that a Severitus story was simply a story where
Snape is Harry's father or they have a non-slash relationship. This is not true.
A Severitus story should answer the challenge, otherwise it is not a Severitus
story.
I suppose the name of the challenge itself made it easy to spread unknowingly.
Severitus is close to the name Severus, and -itus almost seems like a
contagious phenomenon or disease, like -itis. Imagine though that I wrote a
challenge called The Jan_AQ Challenge and authors wrote their summaries as "a
Jan_AQ story" because they sort of followed a rule from the challenge. Doesn't
quite work.
The widespread use of the term caused some confusion. I came up with the term
"Sevitus" as an alternate name for all the stories that were not Severitus
stories for my old Snape and Harry Fanfiction guide. The term was created before
this yahoo group was made (maybe 2003 or 2004). :) It came from part of the name
Severitus to show that its stories were similar to Severitus stories (and
probably existed because of them), but did not follow all of the Severitus
challenge rules. I asked the author Severitus if he minded the new term, and he
said that he was honored by it, and was overwhelmed and surprised by all the
attention his challenge got. :) The term was added to all the P&S groups, like
the Fanfiction.net C2 Group Community and fanfiction archive. Thus Sevitus
stories were born.
I hope that this clears up any confusion. Just ask if you have any more
questions!

I am not sure about the other two terms you listed, they could be either
author names or spelling mistakes.

When Harry is adopted by Snape it is called an adoption fic. Generally
on P&S we put these under either the Guardian or Father categories and
apply the Adoption warning. In summaries you can call it a "Snape is
Harry's guardian fic" or "Guardian fic."

For a story in which Snape mentors Harry we call it a mentor fic and put
it under the Mentor category. You can also call it a "Snape and Harry
mentoring fic" or "Snape mentors Harry." A mentor fic in general is
where a character teaches another character, but they also become close
like friends or relatives.

A Teacher fic on P&S is where Snape teaches Harry, but they do not
really become close. It is more of the actual canon relationship (like
in the books).

If a story is told from Snape's point of view we summarize it as
"Snape's point of view" or "Snape's POV." On P&S we put those stories in
the Snape Centric category, and whatever other category it fits under.

If you want a bit of a history lesson...

Years ago (around the year 2000), Snape and Harry stories were new and
no one had a name for them. The concept was exciting, and the few
well-written stories rose in popularity.

Severitus was an author who started such stories and loved to read them.
Around 2001 he published what is known as "The Severitus Challenge." It
was a challenge to write a story that followed certain rules, most
notedly that Severus Snape be revealed to be Harry's father, Remus Lupin
come to teach at Hogwarts, and Harry have his physical appearance change
gradually. There were several scenes or conversations given at the end
of the challenge to be used in such a story. Every story written in
response must list itself as a Severitus Challenge story. All the rules
are here: http://www.severitus.net/thechallenge.htm
<http://www.severitus.net/thechallenge.htm>

Several authors started responses to the challenge. The fandom was
moderately sized back then (small in comparison to today) so any
response that was written somewhat well was easily discovered. Each
story spread the Challenge along to new authors, and the genre grew.
Eventually the meaning of the Severitus Challenge was lost, people
started to write stories without knowing all the rules and called them
Severitus Challenge stories, or Severitus stories. Unfortunately, some
thought that a Severitus story was simply a story where Snape is Harry's
father or they have a non-slash relationship. This is not true. A
Severitus story should answer the challenge, otherwise it is not a
Severitus story.

I suppose the name of the challenge itself made it easy to spread
unknowingly. Severitus is close to the name Severus, and -itus almost
seems like a contagious phenomenon or disease, like -itis. Imagine
though that I wrote a challenge called The Jan_AQ Challenge and authors
wrote their summaries as "a Jan_AQ story" because they sort of followed
a rule from the challenge. Doesn't quite work.

The widespread use of the term caused some confusion. I came up with the
term "Sevitus" as an alternate name for all the stories that were not
Severitus stories for my old Snape and Harry Fanfiction guide. The term
was created before this yahoo group was made (maybe 2003 or 2004). :) It
came from part of the name Severitus to show that its stories were
similar to Severitus stories (and probably existed because of them), but
did not follow all of the Severitus challenge rules. I asked the author
Severitus if he minded the new term, and he said that he was honored by
it, and was overwhelmed and surprised by all the attention his challenge
got. :) The term was added to all the P&S groups, like the
Fanfiction.net C2 Group Community and fanfiction archive. Thus Sevitus
stories were born.

I hope that this clears up any confusion. Just ask if you have any more
questions!

Anyone who wants a go at writing it, because frankly by the time I get it done
it will be two years gone. So here it is take it as a challenge if you will,
send it out if you want to:



The Story Title: Lovingly Yours P.M. Severus T. Snape



Severus Snape becomes deaged in a depressed funk when he hears that Lily Evans
really went and did it, she really married the bastard Potter! He spits that
name disdainfully as he starts throwing ingrediants together, what's the point
now of hope? Hoping she would wake up and see what a waste of space that, that
ninny brute potter was.



Taking his Lily, what was left for him? Sure he was the youngest potions master,
sure he has several potions patent, he was fairly wealthy, and he wasn't some
despised poorly dressed ragga muffin now! He was respectable, well he had the
Dark Lords mark.



what a mistake that had been, the man was becoming more and more insane and
irradical in his use of unforgivables and in his research for what, only the mad
man knows for sure, but Severus had his guesses. His once respect and loyalty
for the man had made a u-turn soon after he realized what it meant to serve to
be nothing more than a pawn killing innocent children and babes in their moms
arms, that wasn't right! That wasn't what he had signed up for! He wanted power,
wealth respect. Those ideas of Blood purity weren't really something he cared
about but if he was in the right crowd, not that Lucious and his friends where
necessarily the right crowd, but he had owed Lucious for becomming his friend
and taking an interest in his brilliance for potions.



Giving him his help, but for a price, ohh! there always was price with friends
like Lucious and his crowd. But whay couldn't Lily see? he had only acted that
way to make himself less of a target in his House? old Slughorn wasn't much for
being hands on in the house and he didn't seem to take a great deal of interest
in helping Slytherine house become more respected and fair minded. And
Dumbledore, that old fool had allowed Gryfindors to become such bullys to think
all from Slytherin where Dark Wizards, just becuase a few truly evil wizards
came from that house didn't make it fair to treat all Slytherins like despots
and vile evil beings. That hadn't been right.



As his fury mounted the more he fumed and then he just didn't care what he threw
in to the potions pot again what was the point, he was going to kill himself and
he was going to do it at the Evans he knew Lily was probably there visiting her
family after a years worth of Honeymooning, oh yes that had been something to
hear alright!



Bastard had taken her on a world tour, he found himself sicking up just thinking
about it. All his plans Lily and his plans to become potioneers together. He
knew in the last two years of school he really should have given up the ghost
when it came to her, but she was Lily, he couldn't just let her go, surely she
would see? Surely she would forgive him at last for what he had said on that
hateful day?



He had waited in missery after trying everything he could to get her to forgive
him for that day. He had been willing to wait for years for that day to come.
And he thought he still could have waited years more if she hadn't gone an
married that blasted jackass potter!



He watched his brew boil and steam becoming a deep red as blood color it became
even darker than blood red and he felt the potion was nearing its toxic most
dangerous peak when it would be time to bottle it and let it cool for a few
hours. Oh yes if he couldn't have her than he would give her something to truly
remember him bye, a man who would truly die for her, as if Potter could be that
man. He sniffed derisively.



He wouldn truly show her how sorry he was for that day.



He took the viel of cooling poison with him and he apparated to the Evans home,
he could sense her in there, he had always been able to feel her presence her
warmth and love and light that surrounded her. He missed that so much. All the
todying and talking pleasant to people learning people skills and using subtle
lies and pleasantries to be considered cultured and respectable. None of that
was who he was he missed his honest and indearing conversations with Lily her
care and love was true for him, even if that love hadn't been the love he had
desired her to feel for him. She was the sun to his darkness and he couldn't
bear it any longer to never see her again. Like Potter would ever let her see
Snape.



He went up to the door and knocked one brisk solid bang of his fist on the door
he brought the potion out of his cloak and took the cap off he downed as the
door opened to reveal Mr. Evans.



He looked surprised to see Severus Snape at the door, Severus had been made
aware that he was no longer welcome at the Evans if he continue to go with death
eater scum. And Severus had chosen not to put the Evans at risk by associating
with them once Lily had made it clear that he was no longer her friend if he
continued to court the death eaters and their evil lord and their disgusting
views.



"I apologize Mr. Evans but I haven't a lot of time could you be so kind as to
bring Lily to the door I want her to know something very important from my
heart."



Mr. Evans looked troubled and worried for Severus but he nodded and went to
bring Lily.



Severus was starting to feel the effects of the poison, he felt a heat wave
accompnied by a dizzyness and spots in his eyes. He felt himself begin to sway
he knew he was about to fall dead any moment he wanted her to know that he had
loved her and still did to this very day.



"Father He has nothing I want hear, not anymore."



"lily please just hear the man out he seems to have something urgently important
to say to you."



"Fine." he couldn't hear her comming to the door with her father in tow.



"Mr. Snape," her eyes were not softly looking at him like he had hoped but he
knew this was his only chance to tell her truly his feelings for her, selfish as
they maybe, they were how he felt for her.



"There has never been nor will there ever be anyone else but you who were a true
friend to me,I love you Lily, I really truly sincerely lorff.." he slid to the
ground then with a small little smile upon his face. Lily looked striken.



Severus! Severus what did you do?! She reached out to him as he slid to the
porch's floor his body began to writhe and could't breath he felt so hot and
unable to think, pain traveled though his body, he felt his bone changing and
felt himself becoming distant from her, she looked so much larger than him, he
figured he must be floating in astrel form cause she sure looked big.



Lily Evan stared at the piles of clothing that had belonged to Severus Snape
Potions Master, she was shocked at seeing him writhe in pain and somehow
disapearing, she scrabbled searching the clothes for any sign of her dear
Severus.



What she found she couldn't quite believe, a baby in all his naked glory laid
there where Severus had been.



This can be re-written to suit, but Severus does wind up with Lily and James he
becomes Harry's big brother, I don't know if I want him to retain his memories
or not, but he definetly has some memories of his life as a child within his
home on Spinners End. Tobias Snape had not been a good father to Severus and his
Mother Eileen was not as strong as she should have been, not saying she wasn't a
loving mother but, staying with a man who hates you and loves you but really
thinks of you and your son as unnatural, a freak, not really the best move
staying with that guy. He wasn't a good father to Severus and wasn't much of a
provider either.



Right, continuing Severus becomes a big brother to harry, but he starts out a
little jealous having to share Lily even though she went to great extremes
helping him to understand that he has nothing to be jealous about, he was going
to be a big brother. Of course Severus is three years old when Harry is born and
does infact becoming a very happy big brother and adores Harry.



Unfortunatley the ending will be as it was, it becomes full circle with Lily's
demise by the dark lord and Severus becomes Albus Dumbldore's man.



in the JK Rowling Lily and James die, shortly after Severus returns to his full
growth, only confused and not sure how to regain his life, after being Lily's
son.



Time passes Harry is with the Duresleys There could be a sequel but I don't know
when I would get this one done and tacking on s sequel would be harder still.
