🌼Rosie🌼

„Sunshine”

- Rose's nickname, which only Severus uses (but only after she moved with him and Elias, and was carrying his first grandbabies)

Their relationship grew complicated sine then. With Elias mostly out, working at Hogwart and doing his own potion researches, Severus was the only one to help heavily pregnant Rose 24/7. Brewing soothing potions, preparing pregnancy cravings and massaging her aching body... Man started feeling something he shouldn't. It felt, like he was gaining back the time he lost with Lily. Rose's laughter, teasing and constant neediness of closeness, fed Severus's delusions.

He never crossed boundaries during her first pregnancy. He only was there when Elias couldn't, grabbing attention he knew, wasn't meant for him.

Situation changed when twins (Zachary and Jonathan) were born. Rose's stress, baby blues and worry about new lives were often met with Elias's ambitions to do "something bigger" with his career. It caused many fights and days when Elias wasn't coming back home. Severus, knowing his son was cursed to do similar mistakes as he did, stepped up and took his place to prevent girl from leaving.

Whenever Rose couldn't put kids to sleep - He was there with fairytales for twins, and tea for her... Whenever Rose struggled with clogged breasts, and couldn't feed babies - He was there to prepare hot water bottle and formula... And when she needed to cry out her stress? - He was there to hid her in his arms

Many mistakes were made then. Rose's vulnerability and Elias's indifference, gave Severus a chance, he's gladly took. That's how, within next year, Rose had a daughter (Jasmine). Elias had some suspicions, but after checking out the magic equivalent of a parenting test, he calmed down learning she was "his" daughter (still unaware about his homunculus origin and the 100% compatibility of his DNA with his father's)

This "arrangement" worked only because Elias's dreams blinded him enough, to overlook how dynamic changed between vulnerable Rose (who's the biggest dream was having a big family), and Severus (man who felt, like he gain back life he'd once lost), before it was too late... And being forced to deal with new reality afterwards.

Rose's was slightly caged in Spinner's End, by her love to both men. Elias, being her first everything, and Severus, the one who was there when she needed someone the most.

Was it healthy? Probably not... Did it ruin Elias's and Rose's relationship? Not entirely. She was still the love of his life, wife, mother of his kids (at least the ones he fathered) and best friend... Part of him was hurt, but another part felt relieved knowing she had someone else to tend to her needs, when he just could do whatever he wanted. However his bond with Severus changed completely, leaving them neutral towards eachother (only because Elias still had no idea, about Severus being regularly intimate with Rose back then).

As a result, Rose went through five more pregnancies (Only two for sure fathered by Elias), having her own small army of Snapes (9 children in total) and fulfilling her dream... With two lovely men, who were most happy with helping her achieve that.

Marauders

Big great trio (Peter Pettigrew died during Wizarding War, when Severus learnt he was the one to sell information about Lily's location)

Their lives calmed down after the war. James settled down with Lily, Sirius took care of his firstborn, and Remus were there for his friends... Glad all of them survived.

Used to the thrill from war, and wanting to keep the world safe for their kids, all of them decided to become Aurors. Just because Voldemort was gone, doesn't mean there were none dark wizards around. Job was respectable among wizards, feeding egos of the men (Especially James's).

It took tool on their relationships at home. Sirius barely spend time with his family (leaving Jasper feeling alone), while James felt like his word and opinion were absolute (reason why Rose kept her friendship with Elias as a secret), not leaving space for discution.

Remus didn't have such problems. He met, his now wife, Nymphadora later on, when James's and Sirius's kids were bigger. Being able to achieve his career goals, without damaging bond with his beloved one.

There were times when they fought with eachother. Especially James and Remus (Rose's godfather). Lupin was the first to call out his attitude towards Lily, or how he favourite Harry (Hogwart Quidditch star) over Rose.

Beginning of Severus's and Lily's story hasn't changed too much . Friends since childhood, discovering magical world together and growing up side by side. There was a time, when there was something more between them. When the days seemed easier, when they'd shared a cigar or a bed... Before Severus's fascination with dark magic and harsh words about mudbloods scared Lily away... Pushing her to find happiness with another. (In this AU Lily started dating James only as a revenge, before seriously falling in love with him)

They'd found eachother again during war, despite being on opposite sides, sharing few weak moments behind James's back. Lily freshly wed, with her husband mostly out with The Order of Phoenix, often seeked comfort in Severus's arms. Their closeness was an extra reason, why Snape was desperate to keep her safe. Especially since learning Lily was pregnant (She had told Severus first, before telling James... Not knowing back then, who the baby daddy was). Lily begged Snape to keep it as a secret for then, because after all she didn't want James to learn about her affair.

Sev agreed only because of his own skeletons in a closet. (At that time Elias was already in a "making". He could never tell her about it. He couldn't even imagine how would it went... Telling his beautiful Lily, how he abused women to achieve the similar goal, to the one she was carrying under her heart).

Their bond was worn down by the time the war came to an end... And the boys being born. Elias, definitely his "child" , and Harry... Unfortunately (for Severus) James's son. Due to their agreement, they'd never mentioned the affairs. Lily decided to cut him off and start "fresh", working on herself and family she had.

Few years forward they'd met again. This time as a coworkers. Severus, already a known Potion Master at Hogwart, and Lily, new Charm Professor, were mostly awkward at the beginning. James, despite never learning about Lily's cheating, just didn't (and still doesn't) like Severus, making it harder (with snarkly comments and mean jokes) for them to rebuild their friendship. But month after month, they'd found some common ground. No one held grudges, no one mentioned the past... Now they were just friends (even if she'll always be dear to him), parents, coworkers...

Situation changed a bit after they both learnt, about their kids (Elias and Rose) being together. It has awoken memories, they both wouldn't rather touched. Yet, as supportive parents, they agreed to not interfere... And even work together. Lily coax James into letting Rose spend some Holidays at Snape's house or let Elias visit her at their place. While Severus just promised to respect James a wee more (It was really hard for him, but boy he tried), knowing it could help his son.

Their worlds collided again. Soon Rose got pregnant (James was furious) and moved with Elias and Severus. Then the weeding, shared Holidays, the first grand-babies (twins). It was also a time when Elias took the position of Potion Master at Hogwart and Severus retired, concentrating on private projects. This way Snape Junior was terrorising new years at school, while his father concentrated on his grandkids and a "Sunshine" (pet name he only used for Rose). Lily visited from time to time, happy to see her baby girl thriving.

My happy babies as a Tarot card. I just wanted to capture Rosy with a baby bump.

Their near future after Hogwart: Elias (21) the new Potion Master, Rose (19) a nanny - expecting their not exactly planned baby. Both living with Severus, in his small house at Spinner's End, preparing for a parenthood.

Beside the extra obligations, the situation causes a lot of troubles... Caging soon-to-be-parents between James, who has always hated the idea of his daughter's relationship with Snape's son, and Severus, supportive figure... Yet also a man who sees Rose as Lily's replacement.

Elias: Insulting Lockhart's idiocy in second year. The peacock deserved every sneer. Five detentions were worth it.

Rose: Skirts too short, tops too low... Mom's glare every time. Not my fault it draw eyes.

🍀 Cuties during Yule Ball in 1998, held at The Brazilian School Of Magic - Castelobruxo 🍀

Due to lack of danger in wizarding world, the next Triwizard Tournament happened at Castelobruxo. The Brazilian School for magic, hidden deep within the rainforest. The faboulas castle appears to be ruin to the Muggle eyes, keeping the secret of magic safe.

Rose, during her last year at Hogwart, was granted permission from her parents to finish her magic education there. (Her favourite subject is Herbology, and there's no better place to study, than the magical flora of South America itself). The Triwizard Tournament, alongside the exchange program for students, allowed her (and few other peers) to attend Castelobruxo for free. An opportunity only an idiot would miss.

Elias, as Severus's apprentice and future-professor-in-training, managed to go with them under argument of "extended preparation" for his future role. He would never let go Rose, to another continent without him. Especially sine it was her last year.

They couldn't have spent this time better. The opportunity to live in such magical and different place (from UK), living through such hot climate and getting familiar with new cultures, gave the more occasions to grow as a people (and couple) than they had ever thought.

Rose is a huge tease. Raised in loving home, she learnt than beauty isn't the only asset of the women... Yet it never stopped her from using it to her advantage. Self aware and charming, was like a ticking bomb around Elias (whose teenage hormones were buzzing 24/7) or other men.

With age, her teasing grew stronger... Driving poor Elias mad. It had been always ending up in a jealous arguments. .. Or in one of many broomstick-storage rooms.

Rose, during her early years at Hogwart, developed strong crush on one of the professors... Mr. Everyone's nightmare - Severus Snape. Her long-standing friendship with Elias made it harder to notice, how the son seemed sickly jealous of this phenomenon. Ignoring how his own coldness could hide all of the signs of his love to her, he tried to pull her away from this awkward fascination.

Their misunderstanding caused many fights. Rose's frustration clashing against Elias's stubbornness for many months... Before Jasper broke his promise to Rose, and exposed to Elias her secret about "liking him for really long time, but cannot stand his indifference".

Thankfully it saved the situation long before destroying their bond for good. Elias finally decided to have the "talk" with her. He couldn't loose his Rosie.

Their conversation opened new chapter in their lives, becoming the "annoying" couple in the friend group

I won't be lying by saying I'm mostly concentrating on Rose and Elias here. Creating their stories brings me the most comfort. I love imagining how Severus's and Lily's lives would be, if not for the things they went through. Their children (in my AU) gives me the freedom of exploring this curiosity. That's why I'm planing to write some one shots from time to time, along my art.

Please enjoy 🌼

"Day that changed my life"

The summer sun filtered through the tangled willows near Spinner's End, casting dappled shadows on the mossy ground. Elias Snape, only eight years old and already too serious for his age, slipped away from his father's brooding small house. Severus had been lost in his potions cauldron, giving Elias time to sneak out with a vial of glowing fungus spores. His childish whims pulled him towards nearby woods. Tall and lean, with jet-black hair slicked back and piercing black eyes, he moved like a shadow, analytical mind buzzing.

At some point a sharp crackle pierced the hush. Elias froze... Then she burst through the underbrush. A girl, no more than six, with wild fiery ginger hair, big blue eyes, and a scattering of freckles over her soft, darker skin. Even then, she was stunning. Despite some dirt on her clothes, torn knee, and leaves all over her hair... The infectious smile lightened her face as she chased a fluttering pixie with a stick-wand.

Boy's world tilted. Heart slamming like a Bludger, Elias stared - love, fierce and unbidden, bloomed in his chest. Like father's whispers through sleep... Tales of red hair and green eyes, but alive, chaotic... Perfect. She was everything his guarded logic craved and feared.

- Oi! Get back here, sparkly git! - She squealed, voice a whirlwind.

The pixie darted straight at him. Instinct took over. Elias uncorked the vial, puffing spores into shimmering cloud. The creature dropped, stunned. Girl skidded to a halt, eyes widening in awe.

- You're a witch! - Bouncing closer, freckles dancing, she beamed up at him- plump cheeks rosy, blue gaze sparkling mischief.

- You meant a "wizard"... - He managed, voice cracking despite his calm facade.

Reserved walls crumbled, he couldn't look away.

-... I'm Elias - He added after finding some courage.

-Call me Rose!! - She snatched the vial, undaunted by his hooked nose or sharp features - What's that?

Elias grew flustered from all the attention.

- Potion spores... Immobilizes them - He pointed at the pixie. - I haven't seen you here before - He pushed for more information.

Logic screamed retreat, but fascination anchored him.

Rosie smiled sweetly at him.

- I'm visiting my Nana. She lives somewhere there - She pointed behind herself, unfazed by getting lost - And you? - She kneeled above the pixie.

Elias watched with fascination how she was pouring more spores at the poor creature. She was like a cute sociopath.

- Spinner's End... Nearby - Finally he looked away.

Rose jumped up.

- Sweet! Race to the oak? Loser brings candies!! - She teased, pulling him by hand.

Dazed, smitten, Elias grinned - a rare, dry flash of wit breaking free.

- You're on! But don't trip - They bolted.

Her tiny storm pulling his steady calm into orbit.

From that first glance, Elias was hers... And faith would never torn them apart.

Elias and Jasper met during the sorting day at Hogwart. Elias always was the boy to keep to himself, eating calmly and reading one of his father's books. Jasper, despite being very outgoing child, had issues to catch new friends. He just noticed strange boy reading book among the chaos of the Great Hall, and felt jealous of the calmness he possessed.

Their first interaction started with Jasper waking up Elias during first night, to show him where the bathrooms were. It was the first adventure, getting lost on moving stairs, getting caught by Professor Snape and earning week worth of detention.

Elias was mad at Jasper for it... But not for long. Their friendship bloomed with every mischievous escapades or pranks. Elias was the one to help Jasper pass classes, while Jasper was the one to show Elias how to live a little.

"Chaos Pack" was Jasper's idea. After growing up with Marauders stories, he always wanted to have his own group of long-lasting friends. At first, he wasn't fan of Elias bringing Rose, a girl, to their pack. But after welcoming Luna and surviving few, sometimes dangerous, adventures together... He'd warmed up to the idea of the "girls" as their friends.

They even had given each other fitting nicknames:

°Jasper Orian Black - - > "Shadowpaw"

°Luna Lovegood - - > "Mistwisp"

°Rose Lily Potter - - > "Foxfire"

°Elias T Snape - - > "Gloomhawk"

°Sirius Black | Born: 1959 | Auror |

°Amaryllis Dracott | Born: 1962 | Dragonologist |

°Elowen Black (nee Vesper) | Born: 1965 | Stay at home mom |

°Jasper Orian Black (Amaryllis's son) | Born: 1980 | Student |

°Lyra Cassiopeia Black (Elowen's daughter) | Born: 1988 |

°Regulus Black (Elowen's son) | Born: 1991 |

Sirius met Amaryllis at Hogwart. There has been never anything serious between them, just a deep burning fling that lasted until their early twenties. Jasper was born into Black house, raised by his parents who decided to stay friends for their child. They've never held grudges towards eachother. When Sirius met his now wife, Elowen, Amaryllis quietly stepped back, leaving Jasper under his father's protection while she went to catch her dreams around the world.

Jasper has never lacked anything. He has everything he wished for, as the future head of the Black house... But the change hit him strongly. His mother's wit and charm was replaced with Elowen's quiet softness and distance. Even if he was a part of the family, he stopped feeling like it. He seeked his father's attention, but Sirius was occupied by work... Bonding with stepmother also wasn't going smoothly... His ambitions, hidden under clown mask, selected him into Slytherin house, where he met his long lasting friend Elias.

His father, life long friend of James Potter, wasn't happy learning about his choosing of friends... Building wall between them.

°Xenophilius Lovegood | Born: 1950 | Editor of "The Quibbler" magazine |

°Pandora Lovegood | Dead |

°Luna Lovegood | Born: 1981 | Student |

Xenophilius was a single father since his daughter, at age nine, experienced her mother's death. He raised her in a rook-like house near the village of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon. Luna grew up surrounded by magical creatures and legends most wizard world could call funny.

Her specific way of being kept her lonely at school. At least until meeting red head girl who cannot shut up.

°James Potter | Born: 1960 | Auror |

°Lily Potter (nee Evans) | Born: 1960 | Charms Professor |

°Harry Potter | Born: 1981 | Student |

°Rose Potter | Born: 1982 | Student |

°Fhillip Potter | Born: 1990 |

A big happy family, occupying house in the Godric's Hollow. James, being the first from the Marauders to marry, started his relationship with Lily still at Hogwart. They started family soon after their graduation.

Lily was stay at home mom until their second child, Rose, was four years old, after what she decided to take job as a Charm Professor at Hogwarts. With James working as Auror and Lily out of the house, Harry and Rose spend most of their time at Cokeworth with their maternal grandparents. That's how Rose (6) meet young Elias (8), at the wild orchards between her grandparents house and Spinners's End... Starting something unbreakable.

Their friendship was a secret. James Potter isn't found of Snape, so wouldn't be pleased learning about his little princess playing with Elias.

°Severus Tobias Snape | Born: 1960 | Potion Professor |

°Elias T Snape | Born: 1980 | Student |

A small, quiet family living at Spinner's End. Place where Severus lives since his childhood. Elias was raised just by his father. He never met his mother, Severus never even mentioned her name. Elias was told she was a Death Eater who decided to flee UK soon after Lord Voldemort was demolished, leaving them behind.

Unfortunately, truth was much more sadder. Severus, long before begging Albus Dumbledore to protect his beloved Lily, worked on really old dark magic under Voldemort's mentorship. "Blood Ties" - powerful ritual, allowing the wizard to create something more than a mere bond.

Many captured witches ended up being Severus's lab bunnies. His ambitions and will to learn more and more, pushed him to do unspeakable things... Harming too many women on the way.

Elias's mother was the only girl who successfully, yet not willingly, became vessel for Severus's trial. Intercourse was not necessary to achieve this stage of the ritual, but tiring processes of creating enchanted potions with Severus's fluids were. Girl was taken care of during the pregnancy and first days after the birth... However it didn't stop her from finding way to escape this misery, taking her own life. She could not stand watching the small copy of the man who abused her, to nurse from her own body... Because that's what Elias was. A homunculus born from stranger's body, but having only Severus's blood and DNA. The "excellent" creation. Reason of their uncanny resemblance to one another.

Snape wasn't really ashamed how the whole situation escalated, yet never revealed the truth to no one but Albus himself. Elias was his "son" he promised to protect.

That's how he lived on as a single father, giving his child the kind of childhood he did not have himself.

Severus is a stern father, but he was never abusive towards Elias. Teaching his son from really young age, giving him advantage in future magic life. Giving him space to explore the world on his own... Unaware the whole ritual run deeper than a mere DNA. Severus's unresolved emotions (like his love for Lily) have their influence on a young Elias, making him fall head over heels in love with Rose during their first ever meeting as a kids.

Severus worried about dooming his son for the same heartbreak he went through once, but never stopped him from chasing the dream... Hoping he'd do better than he ever could.

I'd love to start this page with a post of the main characters I'll be mostly drawing here 😊 I'm not a full time artist (also I do not claim my drawings are anything special, but I hope to improve them with time). I'm just a girl who has always loved to pick up a pen and create her own stories (even if in a fandom). I've made this account to motivate myself and post my art/stories/comics online. So if you'd like anything you see here, I'm most happy to invite you to stay and follow this AU with me. 🤍

Going back to characters!! From the left:

°Elias T Snape | Born: 1980 | Height: 188cm/6'2"ft | House: Slytherin

°Rose Lily Potter | Born: 1982 | Height: 160cm/5'3"ft | House: Gryffindor

°Luna Lovegood | Born: 1981 | Height: 157cm/5'2"ft | House: Rawenclaw

°Jasper Orian Black | Born: 1980 | Height: 178cm/5'10"ft | House: Slytherin

All the ocs's origins and the whole universe backstory will be post pretty soon. So far what I can tell is, in this HP world's events went differently (allowing this characters to be born in the first place): overcoming Voldemort way sooner, saving James and Lily Potter, preventing Sirius from being framed as their murderer and giving Severus secrets he has to keep away from his own "son".
