    Summary

    Severus delivered the prophecy to the Dark Lord with the hope that it would buy him enough credit to keep Lily safe. That was all he cared about, after all. He never expected the prophecy to point to her son.

    But all he cares about is keeping her safe.

    He has a plan. It's going to hurt like hell - mostly his pride, he thinks, but there will probably be a few curses in there too - but he knows it will work. And he's the only one facing the backlash, too, so Lily can stay safe with her family.

    Why would the Dark Lord target a child who no longer fits the prophecy? It'd be stupid, and the Dark Lord is many things but he is not stupid. What Severus didn't count on is the entire Potter family sticking their noses right up into his business from Day One.
