The Most Noble and Ancient House of Prince
but shady
Summary
As the war raged on and Voldemort gained power, Severus Snape had a choice to make -his childhood friend and the girl he loved, or the connexions he made in Slytherin. In one world, he chose wrong. In this one, he chose Lily.Harry Prince grows up the same. Scorned by his relatives, unaware of his heritage. But the wizarding world looks slightly different with a Slytherin war hero. Not by much, but enough to make the young Head of the House of Prince more willing to trust the Sorting Hat. Harry walks the halls of Hogwarts in green and silver, a dark lord still hiding in the shadows.
Note
Ok so I'm really not sure how far I'll take this fic but I had the idea in my mind and I needed to get it out. I'm still working it out, but the whole thing came from me wondering how different Harry's life would have been if Severus had chosen Lily. James is the one who'll take his place as Potions professor (spoiler) but not as spy so a lot of things will change. I'm excited!I don't know about pairings yet since the characters are babies but it'll definitely be LGBT friendly because I'm queer and because we don't vibe with jkr's terf ways in this houseThe first chapter is a bit messy since it's a pilot of sorts, so I might edit it later
