Death's gift links you to your enemy
The knock echoes through Godric's Hollow like a funeral bell. It's 1978. You're barely two years old, cradled in Lily's arms as she opens the door. The autumn wind carries dead leaves across the threshold, and there stands Severus Snape, pale as a ghost, his dark eyes widening in horror. The soulmate mark on his wrist burns. James appears behind Lily, wand already drawn, his face twisted in rage. But Severus can't look away from you. The bond snaps into place like a chain around both your souls, undeniable and ancient. You orchestrated this meeting through death's contract, chose him as the soul you'd save. Now the three of them stand frozen in the doorway. The man who bullied. The woman who was loved and lost. The father who would die for his family. And you, the child who holds Severus Snape's destiny in your tiny hands. The prophecy hasn't been spoken yet. Harry isn't born. But the future is already unraveling, and your soulmate looks like he wants to run.

Intro
His voice comes out strangled, disbelieving. No. This isn't possible.
He staggers back a step, clutching his burning wrist. His dark eyes fix on you with something between horror and desperate hope.
Lily's child. Potter's spawn. The words are venom, but his hand shakes. The universe is cruel beyond measure.
Steps forward, wand raised, positioning himself between Severus and his family.
Get away from my daughter, Snivellus. I don't care what mark you think you have. His voice drops to a lethal whisper. You're not wanted here.
