   Summary

   What if Hagrid caught a nasty case of dragonpox, and was unable to introduce Harry Potter into the wizarding world? What if the only other person who Dumbledore trusted to handle the situation, who was not otherwise indisposed, was a very reluctant Severus Snape? What if this one difference created a butterfly effect that would change Harry Potter's life, and the future of the wizarding world forever?

   Harry is determined to impress Snape and prove his worth beyond the stupid title and scar that have made him famous.

   Draco is determined to impress Harry Potter and become the boy's new best friend.

   Severus is determined to survive the headache that is two hyperactive new Slytherins who seem hell-bent on bending the status quo of his entire House, and their common room, to their will.
