Summary: It’s the same story, the same string of adventures. The only difference: Severus Snape chose to become a large influence on how Harry Potter grew up. He just didn’t expect his choice to include becoming roommates with Black and Lupin. To keep Harry safe from the very world that had labeled a child The Boy Who Lived, the Savior of the Wixen World, and from Albus Dumbledore who would doom the boy despite all the old wizard’s good intentions, Severus reached out to Madam Gold - the head of the global organization IPPA - who aided in a discreet relocation to a different continent entirely, good jobs for Black and Lupin, and a solid, blended education for Harry until Hogwarts. With Black as one of Harry’s guardians, Severus highly doubted Harry would make it through his seven years at Hogwarts, one of the safest locations in wixen Europe, without getting into all sorts of troubles. Hopefully the life threatening situations would limit themselves to one encounter, if any, for those seven years. There was only so much Severus could do to keep the boy safe and he would never expect Harry’s friends - other children - to keep the boy safe. That responsibility was for the adults to succeed or fail at.
