Summary
Snape doesn’t like being frogmarched into teaching Potter Occlumency. He hates that damned brat with his smug face. Is it unfair? Maybe. But he doesn’t care. The boy is the constant reminder of his greatest failure.
So he is full of vitriol when casting the Legilimens. He doesn’t want to see the hundreds of ways this boy is celebrating his status, and with that, the death of his mother. Yet Snape would wish for nothing more than to let the boy see and feel the truth about himself.
Loaded with the power of guilt and self-hatred, twisted by the lies he tells himself, Snape, in an attempt to hurt the boy while doing his unwanted duty, goes too far.
The spell goes wrong and when Snape went to bed that night, he reaps the consequences of his again misguided actions.It’s about time to learn how it really feels to walk in Harry Potter's shoes.
But what then? Who will Snape be, after reliving a lifetime of 15 years as Harry Potter?
This is inspired by the Star Trek episode 'The Inner Light' where Picard lives a whole lifetime in one single moment after being hit with an energy beam. But besides the idea, there are no elements of that episode in this story.
