It started with a letter.
The first time it happened, Severus didn't think anything of it.
After all it wouldn't be the first time that someone tried to humiliate him in such a twisted and underhanded way so he just ignored it.
Severus
I really like you.
Your secret admirer
That's what the first note that he found in his bag said. Severus had just given a snort before crushing the piece of paper in his hands and throwing it in the nearest dustbin. Wondering exactly when his school tormentors would start coming up with some new material instead of boring him to death with all these hair brained idiotic schemes. He guessed that the marauders were probably behind the prank, being his most devoted school tormentors, he knew that they were usually behind all the pain and humiliation he was subjected to. Although this didn't seem quite like Potter or Black's usual style of torture, so he thought that this time it might actually be someone new. Either way, Severus didn't think about it too long and soon enough he'd completely forgotten about it.
Until he sat down in the library about two days later of course. They had a charms test coming up soon and Severus needed to study, unfortunately his efforts were halted when he found yet another note nestled in his bag between the pages of his book.
Severus
I'm not sure if you got my first note, although I really hope you did. You didn't seem any different when I saw you in the courtyard a few days ago. I was hoping that it would make you smile. I've never seen you smile, except of course whenever you're with Evans but this time I wanted to be the one to do it.
It drives me mad whenever I see her with you. I can barely stand it when she holds your hand, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw her kiss your cheek two days ago. Why did you let her do it? Surely you know that she doesn't deserve you.
I can't stop thinking about you. When I see you I just want to get close so I can touch you and maybe kiss you, run my fingers through your hair. I know it's not really as greasy as everyone says, I know it smells like Wolfsbane and lavender and I think it smells absolutely lovely.
I hope you get this letter, I really do fancy you so much Severus. One day, I hope that we can be together or at least, that we can be friends.

Alright so that's new.
But still, this time Severus only hesitated for a moment before tearing the note apart and throwing away the remains because none of that could possibly be true. Whoever it was leaving notes in his bag had one sick sense of humor and they obviously weren't very bright either, so Severus simply dismissed the incident just like the first one.
But then it happened again, and again and again.
Dozens of letters each one more detailed and personal than the last. So detailed and personal in fact they could only have come from someone that knows him, someone whose close to him, someone always watching.
Severus
You really shouldn't go wandering off to the Forbidden forest on your own. It isn't safe, you could get hurt or maybe even worse and I can't stand the idea of losing you. Although I can't deny that you are something to look at when you're out there with the moon glowing off your skin and your hair hanging over your eyes. You looked breathtaking as you sat beside the stream picking those white flowers from the base of that oak tree. I'm not sure what kind they are but they looked gorgeous against your skin.
