Harry Potter: A Visitor from the Second Run

From

Severus Snape

[1960.1.9 - 1998.5.2]

To,

Severus Snape

[1960.1.9 - present]

Synopsis:

Next generation. Lin is the orphan left behind by Snape's friend. His attitude toward Lin Muen is probably that of a genius feeling sympathy for another genius, and he often helps talented children in his own house.

Then he realizes something is wrong: why is his student, his late friend's child, jumping from the Astronomy Tower right in front of him?

After rescuing her, he starts trying to teach the child about the everyday world and the meaning of being alive, personally pulling her partway out of the depression of nihilism.

Then, during the war, he faces death with composure.

Lin Muen can't feel the grief that would ordinarily overwhelm her. After all, this person worked so hard to teach her. She can't let that effort go to waste.

But it is only after he dies that she belatedly learns what love is.

Just like him.

Lin Muen keeps busy with all sorts of things: publishing the results of his research, carrying on his work, looking after Slytherin students, and securing recognition and honors for him.

She keeps busy all her life, then closes and opens her eyes.

She's Snape's student again.

Moon: ...Speechless.

I'm really grateful for the chance to do it all over again, but I really don't want to go through school one more time!

Thanks for asking. I'm slacking off this time.

The pairing is Severus & Moon.

The main story won't side with either the Death Eaters or the Order of the Phoenix. Later on, both of them will probably just want to save people.

After all, "Lately, the only ones have been people I was powerless to save."

Before reading:

(1) The first life takes place in the next generation. The female lead starts school a year after Harry and is a native of that world. Her mother is a healer at St. Mungo's, and her father is a Chinese doctor working with Doctors Without Borders. Much of the anti-war outlook she carries through life comes from her childhood and family.

The second life spans both the Marauders' era and the next generation. She gets a massive golden finger and becomes a Seer who acts like a know-it-all.

(2) The female lead has a condition that can be understood as the stereotypical high-functioning autism, specifically female Asperger's.

(3) Pairing with Snape, with mentions of GGAD.

(4) No bashing Snape, Dumbledore, any of the four houses, or Lily. V is reborn.

(5) Snape and Lily have a purely platonic relationship, with a fair amount of it. Beautiful women are all like mothers, love them.

(6) The main story has a happy ending, and the extras have a tragic ending. The second life has a happy ending; the first life has a tragic ending.

If one dies and one lives, that counts as a tragic ending.

The purpose of this story is to let Xiao Lin experience Snape at every stage of his life. The focus is on Snape, with her personal growth and career as secondary plotlines.

Theme: Oppose war in all its forms.

A few rambling thoughts: The protagonist doesn't have to possess:

A determination to exact revenge and overwhelming emotions.

A narrative of being elite and powerful.

Traits like a sense of justice and courage that need to be held up as ideals.

Because a person can live in this world without creating any value at all, and breathe without needing any meaning.

Humanity has only one main quest: consume 2,000 calories a day and find a safe place to live.

You don't need to be useful, sensible, or successful,

and even marriage and carrying on the family line are just products of the desire to protect private property.

Existence is its own justification.

Theme: Oppose war in all its forms.
