fascinating and baffling. I see why this is AU :)
a fascinating timeskip ahead! I'm still trying to figure out what all the ramifications would be to bring snape forward...cool!
Okay, this chaper held one surprise after another! Headmaster Riddle? James and Petunia? Narcissa and the Rat? er, okay.
Peter Pettigrew and Narcissa Black--yeah, I think my eyes would bug out too! I love this alternate universe you've created, and seeing the differences in all of the characters that we think we know. It's absolutely fascinating, and I can't wait to read about Severus attending Hogwarts again in this new timeline he's in. Great stuff, and I'll be looking out for the next chapter!
okay so there is no draco and looks like no wife narcissa. and yes, i would like further thoughts of snape's on black.
brave new world indeed. many differnt teachers, pettigrew has a kid and hagrid and riddle were friendly.
wooooooahhhhh! totally differnt futre huh? you have vince, greg and draco helping out but headmaster riddle while dubledore retired? what a change of events.
nice wording on slytherins.
One thought is that an explanation is needed for the changes from canon. It would give this story a sense of completion if the changes were related to Severus’s leap forward in time, but there are many changes for that event to explain. Or is this a sci-fi quantum leap.
Two comments. It is the third chapter and I don’t care about any of the characters but perhaps that is my cool nature or because the chapters are short and are still setting up the scenario. There is no conflict – Severus appears to have landed in an altogether better time.
Perhaps I should quit reviewing since I do not seem sympathetic.
Another snippet. Well written. Pomfrey acts as one who follows authority, but it would have been a good touch to let her personal feelings about the Headmaster show - unless you meant to be subtle and her acceptance tells us what we want to know.
Clever set-up. Good use of canon. Could have twisted the knife a bit by pointing out that Lucius is striving to restore some justice to an injust system.
So is Dumbledore bad in this timeline? Or is he shacked up with Gellert? Poor Severus. This is really interesting.
I was almost surprised Sev didn't ask with whom Potter is married to. And Dumbledore fired, what a lovely world this one is (no, I'm no big fan of him).
Hello, Geoff!
I've found this story just yesterday and I really like it. It's quite different from the usual time turner storys - so much the better :)
I don't understand all the lines of your story for now, but nevertheless I'm riveted on it. Please update soon!
Greetings, Poetica
Oh wow. This is getting a little better for Sev. Ilike this Lucius!
Oh what horrible memories to have. First locked up and second given a gorl to rape. Urg. Poor Sev, he's having to digest so much.
Oh poor Severus. At least this seems a logical solution to his problem, at least temporarily. Black a professor? egk.
I hope they do try and return him to his own time eventually. Oh and what about his OWLs? huh?
Geeze no wonder he ( and me) are confused. Nothing is - well almost nothing is the same? Why would Lucius be so much older than Severus and still be in this timeline? Yet Perter the Rat is a student - and a Quiidditch player? Yeah right.

By this time, some of your confusion should be cleared up... I hope.
Ah eek! Headmaster Riddle? Is this an alternate universe?
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
Oh definitely ... but there's a reason for it!
interesting start. I alsways hated how Dumbledore protected the Gryffindor golden boys when Black tried to kill Severus. I'm glad Malfoy wnated to help, but he doesn't know that it been tampered with! Somehow, this look sbad - real bad!
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
Dumbledore's actions with regards to that incident have never sat well with me. Glad you're enjoying!
I can't imagine how much work it would take for you to have made so many plot twists. I nearly fell off my chair when Dumbledore was removed so he couldn't hurt anyone else, and Riddle took over! Clever.
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
This was started by one of those "what would happen if..." moments. Everything else followed from that.
This is a wonderful twist on both the Time-turner fics and the AU fics. Will we find out where the divergence in the time-lines occured, and if there was a Severus Snape in this time-line?
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
Both questions should be answered by the end of the fic - and that's all I can say without giving anything away.
This is really interesting-- but I keep expecting to hear Rod Sterling's voice.
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
Twilight Zone? I can see where it would seem that way.
no Narcissa and Draco? Potter and Pettigrew have sons at Hogwarts that Severus hasn't met yet.... and I still don't know if there is a Hermione in this world. I'm glad Severus is having a nice time, but I wonder if it is too good to be true. I'll be waiting for the next chapter! thank you for updating.
Response from Doomspark (Author of Future Perfect)
Narcissa will make an appearance as will Hermione. I promise! And things will get a bit more interesting after that.
I'm really enjoying this so far--there's lots of "Hermione going back in time" Time Turner stories, but this is a nifty and unique twist on the concept! Severus in an alternate future... excellent. I've just placed this on my "favorites" and will be checking in as it progresses!
It seems that Lucius was the Severus of his timeline. He seems like a good mentor. I wonder what they'll find out.
Oh, and as nothing is ever really perfect, I'm wondering what will not be so pleasant in this reality.
