Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)

Or: In the First Wizarding War, Severus Snape becomes an Order member, and things turn out a bit different.

Summary
or: The Art of Identifying the Things which No Longer Serve You
When Uncle Vernon stops for petrol in some town called Cokeworth on their way back from a forced-upon-Harry trip to Aunt Marge's farm, Harry decides to indulge himself in some fresh air while Dudley bullies his parents for more snacks for the road.
His peace and quiet get quickly interrupted, however, by a strange man with a basket full of violets attached to his bike and way too much interest in every single secret Harry has ever held dear.

“Oh!” came a shout with a terribly familiar Scottish brogue. Severus and Hermione immediately separated, but the look on Minerva’s face made it clear she saw exactly what they were doing.
