General Psychological Alternate Universe Hogwarts Castle 24,657 Words 14 Chapters WIP
Alastor (Mad-Eye) Moody Albus Dumbledore Minerva McGonagall Poppy Pomfrey Severus Snape Charlie Weasley Filius Flitwick Peeves Pomona Sprout Rolanda Hooch

The Ministry forces Severus to decide between getting de-aged or go to Azkaban. He chooses Azkaban, but Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall and Alastor Moody disagree with it. So he is a four-year-old now and lives with Albus and Minerva. Fluffy story!

Hi,


I absolutly love fanfiction but I never thought I would write one myself. But when Healer Pomfrey put up a contest I decided to write a stroy for it! The result was my story "Everything will be okay soon" !

I'm a social worker in a children shelter for abused, hard to educate and/or criminal girls.

jadecadence

awesome to have something like this to read whilst i am in bed with cough and cold. this is an excellent treatise on child management but it isn't completed. can you please write the last few chapters in and then collaborate with a beta or another author to finish this tale?

Response from grugster (Author of A Better Childhood)

I completed this story a long time agon, but I no longer post on this page. I send my chapters to 3 different betas for uploading it here and even this effort was sometimes not enough. I got sick of it and quit posting here. If you are interested you can read my stories here:https://www.fanfiction.net/~grugsterIf this link doesn't show up, check my username on fanfiction(dot)netThanks for your reviews!Sunny

Thank you sunny! I recently read it again. And it is even better than I had remembered! You did admirably. :))

jadecadence

you wrote very well. and i loved your footnote explaining about how this could be considered character death to some ppl. just that, do children really think this way?

Another sweet addition to your great story. I really enjoyed the descriptions and the interactions of the characters. Also the understanding of a small child is (if I remeber my own child correctly) spot on.

Poor Sev, (I know Severus must be rolling in his grave... but as a kid...) he had a bad scare.  Hopefully Peeves will have a headache out of this.

I do love this story.  I think Minerva is in character.  I think that is exactly how she would act with a young child, strict but caring.  Continue with the great story.

I so love this story! Sev is such a cute little four year I just wanted to hug him and protect him from that nasty Peeves.  I agree with you on setting rules for a child to follow, I have an almost three year old little girl so I I can understan Minerva's and Albus concerns for Sev. I look forward to your next chapter. Well done!

You can't imagine how much I love this litle child. He's such a sweetie that it always breaks my heart when he remembers how he was mistreated. I'm so happy for this second chance he got.

Thank you very much for your review!

Jaden Snape

I love this story. It reminds me of a friend of mine who adopted this little boy. He'd been beaten by his father (mother was dead). He said the boy would go into a room full of toys and only pick one. He'd go sit in the middle of the room and stay there for hours, just holding the toy. He was afraid if he moved, he'd be punished. Time Turner + castration = one less Tobias Snape.

Response from grugster (Author of A Better Childhood)

Thank you very much.
