Harry Potter One Shots

Severus X Reader A Forbidden Love Part 1

(3rd -person P.O.V)

A new year, a new teacher. Years ago, the defence against the dark arts position was cursed, and since then, a teacher has lasted a year if they were lucky. This year may be different with the arrival of Professor Y/n Y/L/N.

Y/n had been in the year above the Mauraders, Lily, and Severus. She had run with the Marauders; she had not been so bullied, but she never really helped him. As Y/n returns to Hogwarts, she doesn't realize Severus Snape is also teaching there; they will have to work through all the struggles to work alongside each other.

(Y/n's P.O.V)

I walked through the gate, and a familiar sight was up ahead. Hogwarts stood tall over the surrounding areas. As I walked through the grounds, years of memories came flooding back. With my suitcase in hand and my head held high, I strode into Hogwarts and right to Headmaster Dumbledore's office.

"Good Morning, Miss Y/l/n!" Dumbledore welcomed me into his office.

"Good Morning Headmaster Dumbledore!!" I greeted as I took my seat.

"Welcome back! In a moment, I will have another teacher show you to your classroom and office, but first. As I am sure you are aware, students return tomorrow for classes the next day, so you have today and tomorrow to plan at least the first day's classes. We have a meeting at two, where you will receive your fortnightly duty roster for the night shifts. Otherwise, I will let you get yourself settled!" As he finished, I heard the door open.

"Thank you, Headmaster!" I nodded as I stode.

"You asked for me, Headmaster?" Oh, sh*t, I know that voice.

"Severus." I spat under my breath as I turned.

"Y/L/N" I could practically taste the spite as my name rolled off his tongue.

"Yes, Severus, please show Y/n to her classroom and room!" Dumbledore seemed to ignore the tension in the room.

"I'm sure I can find my way Headmaster!" I turned back to him before pushing past Severus and striding past.

Things weren't always this bad between Severus and me; we were friends once.

---Flashback 23 years---

This year was Severus' first year at Hogwarts, so while I waited at the Slytherin table for the first years to come, my fingers were crossed under the table, waiting for the boy who had been my friend since he was born. As the first years came in, I watched him walk in alongside the redhead I had seen him hang out with at the park. I always felt jealous of them.

I waited and watched as the first years got sorted. The girl's name is Lily Evans; she is a Gryffindor.

Soon Severus was called, and I watched as he was sorted into Slytherin. I cheered the loudest as he approached me with a beaming smile. I hugged him before we both sat down. We ignored the rest of the sorting as we chatted and soon began to eat our dinner as the feast appeared.

---end of flashback---

Severus and I used to be best friends, both of us being half-bloods who lived in the same neighbourhood as children. My father was friends with his mother; they went to school together.

I stormed down the stairs of Dumbledore's office. I heard the office door open and close again. I knew it was Severus, but I didn't want to face him.

I stormed down the corridor, not paying attention to where I was going, until I heard a voice behind me.

"It's the other way." He growled.

"I knew that I just needed to get my steps in!" I huff, turning around and walking back past him.

At the end of the corridor, I go to turn left but hear his voice again.

"To the right." I sighed and stood waiting for him to catch up, which didn't take long.

Severus led me to my new classroom, which I quickly cast a couple of spells on to set up how I wanted it to be before following Severus down to the Teacher's lounge, which led to the rooms.

Apparently, Severus and I have adjoining rooms. I entered my room without saying a word to Severus. I walked through the place amazed. As a student, you only wondered what these rooms looked like, but it never came close to the magnificent Silver walls and dark green Couches in the living room. The Silver pillows were a nice touch. The fireplace sat just a few steps away from the door across from the couches.

Behind the couch, you sat in some cabinets before you reached the dining room. The silver and green continued a constant throughout the rooms. Leading off the dining room was a large arched doorway leading to the kitchen; next to the open doorway was an open window used to entertain guests while you were cooking.

Down the other end of the room was a hallway that led to the bathroom and the bedroom. The bathroom was the only room that changed from the Slytherin style; the wood planks lined the floor, the marble trailed up the walls, and the dark cabinets made the golden faucets stick out. The whole room seemed relaxing. A large bathtub against one wall and a large vase at the foot of the bath filled with colourful bath bombs.

Heading across to the bedroom sat a large four-poster bed, a side desk on each side with a lamp. The top drawer of each cabinet had a key for safekeeping items. A rug sat underneath the Slytherin symbol. There were black lounge chairs in one corner and a couple of bookshelves. I dropped my bags and spun around the room with a big smile. I took a deep breath; I was finally home!

I collapsed on the bed, taking another deep breath. I closed my eyes, taking it all in. I heard someone clear their throat, making me jump. I sat up, opening my eyes as I noticed Snape standing at the door.

"Do you need anything?" I ask as I sit up, leaning back on my arms as I speak.

"The meeting starts in five minutes, and you are such an imbecile you would get lost between here and there." He snapped.

"That's enough time for me to change before I walk out the door to the common area!" I snap back. I walk over to the bedroom door and close it in his face before grabbing my bag and digging through it for clothes.
