Y/N is a sixth-year Slytherin at Hogwarts who keeps everyone at a distance. Severus Snape, a young Potions professor, seems just as unreadable—until old history from childhood begins to resurface between them.
Inspired by All the Young Dudes (ATYD), the story follows the Marauders and their peers in fifth year at Hogwarts as shifting friendships, rivalries, and unspoken feelings begin to surface, turning everyday school life into something far more complicated and emotionally charged.
Y/N’s lifelong obsession with Severus Snape faces new competition from Lily Evans, completely ignoring that his close friends are secretly in love with him.
Severus Snape spent a decade guarding his silence, but when a striking twenty-five-year-old prodigy takes over the Defense Against the Dark Arts chair right beside him, the past comes back to haunt him. Y/N is cold, dangerously powerful, and entirely untouchable—yet underneath that icy exterior lies a boy who never forgot the hand that once pulled him from the dark. As Voldemort’s shadow creeps closer over Hogwarts, the tension between the stern Potions master and his new colleague threatens to ignite.
At Hogwarts, Y/N is the center of a close, unspoken bond where affection and comfort come naturally without ever being defined. When something quietly shifts and they start to drift away, the group is left together—but unable to ignore how much has changed.
Returning from a rough summer at Spinner's End, sixteen-year-old Severus clings to seventeen-year-old Y/N at the Great Hall feast. While Y/N's inner circle subtly competes for his attention, Severus fiercely guards his place by Y/N's side, desperate to retreat to the quiet safety of the Slytherin common room.
A disastrous potions accident turns Hogwarts' fiercest students and rivals into a chaotic nursery of tiny toddlers—and leaves a severely regressed, speech-impeded Y/N as the absolute boss of the room. While a reluctantly soft Severus Snape is trapped playing head babysitter in his private quarters, an intensely protective pack of toddlers swarms Y/N for attention, mirrors every tear, and lines up eagerly whenever the little dictator casually demands his mandatory lip kisses.
It's the first day of sixth year at Hogwarts, and people are already losing their minds over Y/N, obsessing over him and staring the second he walks into a room.
A potions accident turns Y/n into a toddler. Now, Draco, Mattheo, and the rest of the Slytherin group are stuck looking after a tiny, shy baby who can barely talk or walk.
