Persephone Potter and the Heart of Revenge

The best compliment and the worst curse a child can hear from their parents, depending on the context, is the phrase, "I hope you grow up to have a child who turns out just like you."Every child is the product of its parents, for better or worse. We are an amalgamation of them, perfectly combined with past experiences and the people who have left an imprint in our lives. A kaleidoscope of pain, triumph, and love.Lily Potter wanted nothing more than for her daughter to have a different life than she herself had. A better one. So far, the girl's life has been far from desirable. Well, from the bottom we can only go up...Right?Year 1 rewrite with Femharry and Severitus thrown into the mix. (AKA what happens when you're in a Severitus mood and accidentally listen to Beetlejuice's "Say My Name" while reading such fanfics. Readers be warned!)

A few things:1. This series was partially inspired by Aim and Ignite by shostakobitch. If this is the sort of thing you enjoy, please, PLEASE check that work out. It is both hysterical and angsty and had me in all types of feels.2. I know there's a lot of controversy surrounding Snape and his character. I stand by the belief that Snape is a bastard full stop and there's no two ways about it. That being said, he is still a wonderful character and being a bastard does not diminish this by half. This series will explore how people are both good and bad and in between and...well, really the characters are all just humans with flaws. If you don't like Snape being portrayed as a bastard, this isn't for you. If you don't like loving characters who are bastards, this isn't for you.3. In a similar vein, Dumbledore is not a villain, but he is a deeply flawed character. Keep this in mind.4. I tried to stray from copying canon as much as possible, but I didn't always succeed. Sorry :)5. There are going to be poems quoted in each year. No, i didn't write them (I'm frankly terrible at poetry). Yes, I'm too lazy to look them up again to find the authors. I just didn't want to take credit for what isn't mine!6. Yes, the artwork is mine. I will also be posting all of them plus ones that don't make the cut in an extra work in the seriesSorry for the info dump, but with that said: enjoy the story!
