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.

Deep in a cloaked cabin, hidden from the wizarding world, lives a child with emerald eyes. Born from the darkest magic, yet radiating an unexpected light, she is Winter Riddle, daughter of the fallen Dark Lord. Raised in solitude by the man who swore to protect her, Severus Snape, her existence is a secret that could shatter the fragile peace after Voldemort's demise. But when uncontrolled, ancient magic begins to manifest, Winter's true nature threatens to expose her to a world that fears her lineage and doesn't know her heart. Can she navigate the shadows of her past and the burgeoning power within her, or will the truth of her birthright destroy everything?
