Severus Snape Oneshots Collection

~[Let Love Flourish Like Roses]~

"Good afternoon Ms.[Y/n]!!Happy birthday!!" A student said as they passed by you as you walked through the halls.Smiling and thanking them,you continue on your way.

"Happy Birthday Ms.Coven,here you are!" A male 6th year said,winking at you as you laugh,taking the box of chocolate frogs from his hands.He blushes at your touch and you ruffle his hair before walking off happily.

"Happy birthday Ms.Coven!!!" Two first years that you teach came up to you handing you one letter each,as your heart fluttered at the gestures.You bent down and gave them a kiss on their hair each as they hugged you before going on their merry way.

You chuckled at how adorable those kids were.You were a second-mother figure to them after all.

[Y/n] Venus Coven was your name.A twenty four year old hospital wing intern of the infamous Madame Poppy Pomfrey.Yes,you were a healer in training.You were handpicked by Poppy herself from the St.Mungo's Internship Program.You were a skilled healer and Poppy saw herself in you back in the days.So she picked you and you were more than honored to train under her guidance and wing.

You walked around the halls for a bit before letting your feet take you towards your private quarters, courtesy of Albus Dumbledore.Even though,you insisted on just staying with Poppy,he was adamant about letting you have your privacy.To which ended with you caving in to his offer with a sweaty expression.

You were surprised when you saw Minerva and Albus in front if your office,talking to each other in hushed whispers.They didn't seem to notice your presence and your confusion only grew when you saw them smile at each other before leaving your door.

When they were out of earshot,you let yourself linger at the front of your door,wondering why it was slightly opened.It wasn't closed.It was slightly open and your mind went back to this morning,wondering if you had accidentally left it open in your hurrying because of helping Poppy with an spell-struck student.

You slowly reach your hand out,taking the handle of the door in your grasp before taking a deep breathe and walking inside.You close the door and linger your gaze on it before turning to slightly gasp at what you see.A bouquet of red roses wrapped in black colored wrapper that was tied up with a green ribbon.It was sitting idly on your desk,which also had a small box behind it.

You slowly crept your way towards it as you take in the sight of the beautiful and fresh flowers that decorated your room with a very alluring scent.It filled your nostrils and you exhale with calmness and delight.You eyed the flowers as you took the whole bouquet in your hand,the other lightly touching the red petals that was soft and smooth to feel.

Your eyes drift off to the box that now you noticed had a tag on it.Gently putting the bouquet of roses back down on your desk,you take the small box in your hands,one hand holding it and the other grabbing the tag flipping it up right.Your heart jolts at what is written on the tiny piece of paper.

I hope you find this in good condition,my angel.
I'm sorry to say,but it seems that I have fallen for you..
You do not have to return my feelings if you do not feel the same,
I hope you feel special on this very day.

-S.S

You stare at the small parchment clutched in your fingers for what seemed like hours on end until you find yourself running through the now quiet hallways.The adrenaline coursing through your veins giving you more strength to run,boosting your speed as your heart hammered in your ribcage.

After nearly a year of secretly pining on the raven-haired professor,he actually reciprocated your feelings. You felt over the moon,as if you owned the world right this very moment.Like every star in the sky seemed to align that very moment.You needed to get to him,you needed him to hear.

You needed him to know that you loved him too.

Severus sat on his couch in his private quarters reading the book in his hands do what seemed to be the third time.His mind then started to drift off to you.Has you gotten his gift by now?He didn't see you during lunch time at the Great Hall.Were you upset?Did you not want to see him?Were you disgusted of him now?

The thought alone made his heart drop to his stomach.

Of course you would be disgusted.Why would anybody want to love someone like him?He thought to himself,he was a grown man with wrinkles,bags under his eyes and a rather rude personality.Who would want to be in a relationship with him?You were probably disgusted of him now or even worse,you never wanted to see his face ever again.The thought of not being part of your life made his stomach churn uncomfortably.He didn't want that,no.

Just as he was gonna continue wallowing himself in self-loathing,he heard a very urgent knock on his door.He raised his brows at confusion?Someone?Knocking on his door at this hour?Who would dare to?He was even more confused when the person behind his door knocked even more,footsteps echoing through the cold dungeon hallway.

He was contemplating if he should open the door?It wouldn't be Albus as the old lemon-obsessed fool does not even know how to knock anymore and just strides in without permission.It wouldn't be Minerva either as Minerva should already be asleep by this hour,so who could be at his door this late?Well,if he did just open the door his questions would be answered.And so,with his curiosity at it's peak,he opens the door only to stagger back at the weight added to him and arms engulfing his figure.

His eyes went wide as he recognized the [h/c] head.He spoke with a bewildered and surprised tone.

". . . .[Y/n],why are you-mmph!" You cut off his question as you pressed your lips onto his,silencing him completely.Severus's heart was pounding in his chest as he let himself give in and kisses you back with the same amount of passion.He couldn't believe it.He thought you had hated him,or was even disgusted of him.But apparently not.

You parted breathlessly as you looked up at him with those luminous eyes.He gazed in them,drowning in your gaze that was filled only with adoration and love for him.All of it was for him.And with a breathless whisper,you returned his confession.

"I love you too..." You declared.

That night was the start of a wonderful relationship.
