Set two years into his professorship at Hogwarts. BEFORE lilys death.
Severus snape is still a dedicated death eater- spying for lord Voldemort.

Olivia Blackmore was in her final year at Hogwarts and had become instantly besotted with her Potions...
Olivia cleaned up the Potion's Room and made her way to the Great Hall for lunch- entering at the same time as Snape.
A pretty, black haired woman sitting at the Professor's table instantly became alert at the Potions Master's entrance- which didn't go unnoticed by both Mages entering for lunch. Said woman proceeded to eye the Dark Wizard like he was dessert being brought in for the meal.
<<Professor Sinistra:>>

The tall, slim Witch was dressed in emerald velvet, which instantly rubbed Olivia the wrong way.
It's clear she's trying to cozy up to the man by wearing Slytherin colors!
To Olivia's displeasure the woman got up and made her way to the Potions Master who stopped to receive her- blocking the path forwards for Olivia who was aiming for the same two seats at the end of the Professor's table as him and ended up behind him.
"Severus! what a delight you finally made it, meals have been boring without you" she purred.
Olivia suppressed a scoff, she doubted the man ever talked when sitting there, she for one never saw him conversing with anyone during her time at Hogwarts other than whomever was next to him on occasion, which was usually Minnie, but of course she had been away for three years now.
The woman eyed Olivia shrewdly with a fake smile before turning back to the Professor.
"Are we still on for our weekly get together? I have a new packet of the biscuits you enjoy".
Olivia cleared her throat agitated, wanting this conversation to be over already.
Who the hell was this woman and why was she having cozy one on one meetings with Snape. The Witch clearly saw her but decided to ignore her presence like she wasn't worth knowing or introducing herself to. Rude cow.
"As pleasant as that sounds Sinistra, I have an Assistant now which means my hours will be fully applied in getting my house in order" he gestured to Olivia behind him.
"Oh but surely that should mean more time for yourself if anything Severus, you work too hard" she pouted with a coy smile.
Snape moved out of the way so Olivia's full form was visible to the older woman. Sinistra finally gave her attention, something flickering in her dark eyes as she took in Olivia's dress before she buried it with a bright fake smile.
"Professor Sinistra of Astrology, and you are?" She held out her hand.
"Olivia Blackmore, Potions Assistant" she said shaking it. "Are you new Professor? I don't recall you being here when I was a student 3 years ago".
"Oh no child, I was in France working at Beauxbatons at the time. I've been here what- two years now isn't it Severus?" Snape nodded without the slightest expression, feeling Olivia's sudden rise in energy at being called a child and not wanting a scene. "Severus and I have grown to be quite close friends. You wouldn't mind holding the fort so we could have our weekly tea would you?" She said sweetly.
