Snape 2.0: Rewriting Destiny

Hit by a Prius, software developer Marquas Wilson wakes up in the body of Severus Snape. Stuck in 1979, before Harry Potter and the prophecy, he faces a choice: follow canon to a tragic end, or use Snape's knowledge and his own 21st-century pragmatism to rewrite destiny? With Voldemort on the rise and Dumbledore watching, Snape 2.0 decides it's time for a makeover – inside and out – and maybe, just maybe, save a few lives along the way.

Rain lashed against the window of your dingy room at Spinner's End. You were Severus Snape, Potions Master, Death Eater, and according to your new internal monologue, a software developer from 2025. It had been a week since the 'Prius incident' and your subsequent, bewildering awakening in this unfamiliar body and time.

The greasy hair had been the first priority, a minor victory in a sea of existential dread. Now, clad in newly tailored, sensible robes, you stared at a summons from Lucius Malfoy – a Death Eater gathering at the Manor. Your first direct encounter with the Dark Lord.

Panic warred with a strange sense of grim determination. You, Marquas Wilson, were going to a terrorist meeting in a fictional world, wearing the face of its saddest man. Time to put that future knowledge to the test.
