Chapter Text
Completely AU! Severitus. I don't own Harry Potter or make money off of this.
The end is that they all lived happily ever after. But that's not what you wanted to hear is it. It all started when Harry turned eleven and got his Hogwarts letter. He also along with the letter received a letter from his mother, Lily Potter.
Unknown to any wizard or muggle Lily was married to one Severus Snape. He was also a father to the one and only Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Severus had no idea that he had a son let alone had a wife. Lily had wiped his mind to protect him and their child.

Harry was extremely excited about the possibility of going to a school that's away from his evil relatives. He just had to find a way to get the supplies and notify the school that he wanted to attend.
The next letter that Harry read was completely different it was in the form that muggles use. It had a date of the past: July 1, 1980.
Harry quickly open the letter and started to read it.
It started as:
My dearest Harry,
As I seat here and watch you sleep all I can think about is your future. I would of loved to let you stay with your father but he has nothing to do with you. He doesn't even know about you. James thinks you're his son, but I had put a glamour I put you. I sorry bit I feared his work would get you killed but as I watch you I know that we may never be here to protect you completely but we will always be in your heart. I know if you are reading this then that mean I am gone and you need to go find your father. I live you and remember to bring this letter with you and give it to him.
Love Mom (Lily)
