Welcome to Until The End. We are a moderate Harry Potter role-playing site set in the Marauder's Era. Our plot is generally derived from details in the book, but as an AU site we do take liberties most anywhere we like. Those who died in the books can have a second chance at living, and those who lived are always at risk.
Tom Marvolo Riddle has long since disappeared and in his stead Lord Voldemort has risen, bringing a small army with him. The Ministry of Magic has thus far ignored the growing menace that is the Death Eaters and Albus Dumbledore has taken it upon himself to defend the wizarding community from an evil he knows is building. War is coming. Pick a side!

History
Severus Tobias Snape was born to Eileen Prince Snape, a gifted but quiet witch, and Tobias Snape, an abusively violent muggle on January 9th, 1960 in the very poor, shabby neighborhood of Spinner’s End in the town of Cokeworth, England.
An only child, you would think he would be the center of his parents’ entire universe, spoiled rotten, but the very opposite was true. Too wrapped up in fighting with each other, neither Eileen nor Tobias paid very much attention, if any at all, to their son, letting him walk around unbathed in poor-fitting, mismatched clothing most of the time. Eileen might have tried to take care of him harder had she not been so frightened of upsetting her abusive husband further than he already was.
Growing up, Severus would spend as much time as possible out of the house because when he was home all that he could do to pass the time was hide from his father and the house was so small and dilapidated, there weren’t too many hiding places left. And it due to his many outdoor wanderings that, around the time he turned seven, he first saw Lily Evans.
The Evans family lived just on the other side of Spinner’s End, in a much nicer neighborhood and they were everything Severus wanted in a family…other than the being muggles part. But their relationship with each other, especially the two young girls, was magnificent to behold.
Severus found himself watching the younger girl a lot over the next few months, captivated by her vivid red hair, sparkling green eyes, and just general demeanor. He learned from eavesdropping that her name was Lily and her older sister’s name was Petunia. He also began to witness strange minor occurrences that, to his overwhelming delight, could only be called magic.
His confidence boosted by the fact Lily was a witch and not just a muggle, Severus began to make open attempts at friendship, striking up conversation with Lily any chance he got. And soon enough they were best friends.
The two of them began to spend all their time together. Severus told Lily everything he knew about Hogwarts and the wizarding world in general. He didn’t care that he was taking Lily’s time usually spent with her sister away nor that Petunia seemed insistent on making fun of his upbringing. She was a muggle. She didn’t matter.
Severus was overjoyed to get on that train to Hogwarts on the first of September when he was eleven, anxious to get away from his parents and from Petunia, eager to get to school where it could just be him and Lily together all the time with no interruptions.
It was while he was waiting for Lily to join him on the train that he encountered his first run-in with another pair of Hogwarts students. Two dark haired first year students occupied the same compartment as him and though he tried to ignore their conversation, when they insulted the great house of Slytherin, he had to jump in and defend it. His mother had been in that house after all. But this was the first of many, many unpleasant encounters with James Potter and Sirius Black.
When Severus was sorted into Slytherin and Lily into Gryffindor he thought his whole world was basically over. But he surprised himself by making a few new friends in his own house, namely older students like Lucius Malfoy, while still managing to maintain his friendship with Lily…though admittedly a rather strained one at times. And only getting more strained as the years piled on.
Severus excelled in his classes through the first four years of school, eager to return for a fifth. His favorites, without a doubt, were DADA and Potions. When it came to extracurricular activities, however, he fell a little short. For years he’d been dreaming of joining the house quidditch team, but upon their very first flying lesson, it became apparent that a broom was just not the place for him. He was a thin, gangly young man, and had too much body to know how to handle while airborne, feeling awkward and unsteady. He began to harbor an immediate grudge towards anyone who was good at flying or on their house team. Particularly one arrogant Mr. James Potter, whom he was already holding a major grudge against to begin with for several reasons, with two major ones taking the lead.
One: James was absolutely everything Severus wished he could be. He was popular, great at flying, equally great with girls, charming, and more.
Two: That whole James was clearly in love with Lily thing.
With his fifth year approaching, Severus has made three goals for himself.
One: Achieve outstanding O.W.L results in every important class.
Two: Finally figure out where Remus Lupin keeps sneaking off to.
And three: Win Lily’s heart.
He is reasonably confident about the first two and yet it’s the third one that means the most to him.
