Summary
Hermione meant to go back to the night Severus Snape died.
Before the blood and silence and all the truths learned too late.
Instead, the Time-Turner shatters.
Hermione falls nearly thirty years into the past and lands in Spinner’s End, where Severus Snape is not yet a spy, a professor, a murderer, a hero, or a dead man.
He is nine years old.
Thin, furious, brilliant, half-starved, and already expecting the world to hurt.
Stranded in 1969 with no way home, no legal identity, and no idea how much damage one misplaced kindness might do to history, Hermione finds herself with Aunt Vera’s spare room, a broken Time-Turner, and a child who does not know how to be helped.
There will be tea. Laundry. Drying charms. Butterbeer. Mistakes.
And slowly, Hermione begins to understand that saving Severus Snape may have very little to do with the night he died.
Author’s Note: This is eventual HG/SS, but the romance is a very late-story development. The early and middle sections focus on Hermione stranded in 1969, young Severus, found family, healing, and timeline changes. There is no romantic dynamic while Severus is a child.

Summary
Petunia wasn't the smart one. Or the pretty one. Or the magical one. But she was cunning, resourceful, and she knew what she wanted from life... and she got it.
So when her nephew turns up on her doorstep one cold November morning, she sees it as the opportunity that it is.
---
This was an odd little earworm of a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. I'm much more inclined to shorter works, so it's a bit of a patchwork story.
Note on the tags. Petunia is... Petunia. She is not really 'Nice' or 'Good' but she's not 'Mean' or 'Evil' either. She's a selfish, self-centered woman with a brittle sense of self-esteem and a drive to be recognized as successful in her own right. I tagged it 'Good' because that was the closest I could get to 'not the horrible person from the book, but not really even close to a Molly'.
Also: I will not be tagging every single person who appears in the fic, only those with reoccurring roles. This is not a bashing fic and I've done as best as possible to give rational(ish) 'good intentions' explanations for the canon shenanigans.

Draco Malfoy & the Blackwater Curse by Tessa Crowley (tessacrowley)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
01 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
After a dangerous and chaotic first year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy goes into his second year vowing to be as normal as possible—a plan that goes out the window when he sees a familiar but impossible name on the Marauder’s Map: Regulus Black. His mother’s cousin, one of the only blood relatives he has left, and missing in action for over a decade.
But finding and helping Regulus is an endeavor that will require consorting with ghosts, lifting curses, and protecting Hogwarts from the threat that has kept him on the run all this time, a dangerous agent of the Ashbringer and Regulus’s own brother.
Perhaps Draco’s life just isn’t meant to be normal.

Summary
Minerva sighs. “No matter how you disagree with other Heads of Houses’ behavior, you cannot yell at them. That is what Albus is for. If we had accused you of the things you did Flitwick? You would have rioted, Severus. It’s not our place.”
Severus pauses and considers her words. Would he have wanted that?
“I do wish that one of our colleagues, especially you, had spoken to me about my behavior. And yes,” He adds, quieter than before. “It would have been embarrassing. I would have been upset—but I could have changed sooner. Been less cruel. I would have valued, eventually, that you cared enough about the students to do something one might deem improper in order to help them.”
Shrugging, Severus looks down to the water. He misses being a teenager. No, he just... he wishes his teen years were different.
Maybe he’d know better sooner.

Summary
It all began with a letter in that Snape boy’s hand.
Professor Minerva McGonagall had always tried to be fair and just.
But in a world of rising division and bigotry during a time filled with growing despair and utter mistrust as a dark enemy forces the world apart in a silent war, Minvera perhaps had lost sight of the small nuances and details that made life so three dimensional.
Perhaps she herself fell victim to assumptions and misconceptions and their power to color one's own perspective in the wrong shade.
Perhaps in her attempt to guide the next generation of wizards onto a better path, she had misjudged who needed her helping hand the most.Or perhaps she should've just taken the damn letter.
Or: It all began with a letter. It all got derailed when a random girl met an unwilling Severus Snape and decided: That one! That one will be my new brother.

Summary
Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

Summary
Petunia Evans is a Muggle. She has no place in their world, the magical world, and it’s best that she come to terms with that now. She couldn’t do magic if she tried, any more than she could ever be as beautiful as Lily, as fun as Lily, as likeable as Lily.
There’s another world where Petunia Evans lets this disappointment seep deep into her bones—a world where Petunia Evans grows old, and bitter, and angry at all the things she cannot have. In that world, Petunia Evans lets her jealousy steep, like tea that’s been left too long, and lets it turn into a thick, steaming beverage of resentment and hate and disgust. In that world, Petunia Evans is always second-best to her beautiful, her magical, her shining and smiling sister, in her own head if nowhere else, and this remains so even after Lily is gone.
That’s a different world.

Summary
Severus Snape was ready to embrace death, bleeding out on the cold floor of the Shrieking Shack after Nagini's deadly attack. He had made peace with his end—relief, even, at the thought of escaping a life of torment and regret.
So why, in the ever-twisted fabric of fate, did he wake up in his fifteen-year-old body, back in his fifth year at Hogwarts, surrounded by ghosts of the past he thought he'd escaped forever?

Summary
Severus Snape is not an optimist even on his best days. Today is not a good day.
Or also; Instead of dying peacefully and being tossed into a shoddy grave where future students come to vandalize, Severus finds himself flung through time to the beginning of his sixth year, and must deal with the consequences.
If it must be done, it must be done properly. Regretfully, he seems to be the best candidate.

Summary
“Severus,” Lupin said, his tone deceptively light. “You seem… smaller.”
“Is this a fucking joke?” the boy spat out. The ‘fucking’ bit came out more like ‘foocking,’ and Harry wondered if he’d somehow progressed from dreaming about Voldemort to dreaming about teenage Snape with a northern accent.
Because that’s clearly who the boy was, unless Snape had somehow managed to secretly father a child using nothing but his own genes.
