The Dark Lord returns to conquer Britain, in a time when all are familiar with the Harry Potter books. Enslaving muggles, Lord Voldemort attempts to implement his New Order. "There are millions with magic who would kill their closest friends and cherished relatives to achieve the status and safety I can afford others." What comes first: survival or loyalty to one's own kind?

Severus Snape took his spying very seriously. The world thought he'd murdered Albus. He carried on at Hogwarts. Albus always said: do everything possible to keep Voldemort on side. So he had. Everything. Anything. He hadn't realised he was at risk of *actually* falling in love with the man. The master. Nor that Ginny Weasley might get mixed up in their 'bedroom business'…

Little Lily and Albus Severus happily play Monopoly with Uncle Severus. Severus Snape always wanted a family of his own. But for how long can he keep trying to play at 'Happy Families? M for language and flexibility.

Whilst getting suitably sloshed, Lord Voldemort likes to regale his followers with a song or two. Whether they like or not. For the pursuit of power and politics had had to come before his first great love: singing. Voldemort would have been a world-renowned opera singer, he was sure. His sarcastic slave, Severus, was not. Very much not. Voldy, Sev, Lucius, Draco, Cissy & Wormtail.

Why will the Dark Lord no-longer meet with Severus? Why does he send Lucius and Severus such different letters and gifts? Where are their parents? And how will both boys avoid getting too distracted by their secret membership of a secret organisation, and pass their exams with flying colours? Rated M for language.
