A Truce Between Enemies

James has always hated Snivellus, his reasons weren’t justifiable… but they were mutual, so where was the harm? Enter Lily’s frustrated remark and James opinion on the dark haired Slytherin comes crumbling down. Startled and shaken, could James form a brotherly truce with his once enemy? Would Snape even accept it? Would he give him the choice?

Hey guys! I had this story on another platform and wanted to see if you would enjoy it. I don’t see much fic’s where the Marauders realize their mistake when it comes to their treatment of Severus. Now, before all the Pro-Marauders start protesting, I can see both sides and can argue against and for both; I love a good Marauder story and I also love Snape (we can love and see flaws in both sides). That being said, this is a very pro Snape story but I try to give them both a fair chance.I wanted to explore the storyline of Severus’ abusive muggle father, on that topic; this first chapter does have some triggering scenes; especially if you are sensitive to child abuse, Severus is 17; just about to turn 18 but he’s still considered a child. The description of the aftermath of the abuse may be a bit much for some readers, so I suggest caution as you proceed.As you all know, most of my stories contain spanking and corporal discipline; this won’t be any different. It is meant to be perceived that James was the disciplinarian in the group; keeping Sirius and Remus in line (Peter is mentioned barely, I probably will bring him up later but this is mostly about Severus being welcomed into the Marauders post graduation). I tend to keep this pretty mild and it’s barely mentioned during this chapter, just suggested; as the story progresses it will be integrated more since I believe a major event will happen that causes James to show some tough love with Severus.This is a story I wrote back in 2022, so please bare that in mind as you read; again I can not stress it enough that I am a novice writer, there will be mistakes that I overlooked.It’s long! I’m sorry, I don’t know how to write short fics and still get a good build of character; who ever can do that and keep a story within 3/4k is a witch/wizard!Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter.Enjoy!!!
