To love hate ( Severus Snape and Morgana Pierce)

My new home and new life

Standing in front of the magnificent castle , the sanctuary that is my new home , im aw stuck by the beauty of the structure as a whole. I've always appreciated the details of the older structures , that's why I love London - I could spend hours everyday glancing over the buildings, enjoying the wisdom the bricks hold with them.
Hogwarts was different though , it held the feeling of safety,  knowledge and perhaps even inspiration. It was a good feeling nonetheless, the butterflies in my stomach changed form nerves to anxiousness. The longing to know more about this place grew , making me more excited.
I breathe in deeply. Regaining my thoughts setting a clear vision in mind. This whole new experience is difficult for myself , it's something different which makes me scared . Not knowing the outcome makes me uncomfortable because I tend to think of the worst possible out come first rather than something positive to begin with. Since trying to get over my past I've been able to look forward and start with life again in a more calm manner , but this job opportunity has happened rather quickly and it's hard to get my mind wrapped around it.
In times like these I wish my parents were with me giving me that extra support and helping me push forward. I often think about them , imagining them there with me in the room or by my side - just for that little bit of reassurance.

It was misty today , I could hardly see over the grounds. It had a very eerie feeling , the coldness was nice though. I came up to the front door of the castle , not sure if I even had the strength to open such majestic doors , but I tried nonetheless. Surprisingly light , the doors creaked making music to my ears , i smiled as a shiver went down my spine. I glanced inside taking in the gothic design. It was absolutely stunning . The whole interior of the castle made from rock gave it a whole new level of maturity. I felt at home , a feeling of comfort came over me. I relaxed in an instant- making me think clearer. Slowly walking in , finding the main corridor I couldn't help but imagine this area flooded with students buzzing about . A smile crept onto my face when I though of myself infront of a classroom , lecturing to the children about Shakespear.

"I thought you lost your way Miss Pierce" Albus said from behind me , startling me in the process

"Don't mind me , I'm just admiring this stunning castle" I said in amazement looking around while talking to him

He huffed contently walking to my side " she's kept us all safe for a long time" he said " I do hope you enjoy your stay here at Hogwarts. Myself and the staff are always welcoming new professors"

"I can't thank you enough Albus" I said admiring him "you've helped me so much"

"Not to worry my dear , this castle is your new home. Your parents would have been extremely proud of the woman you have become " he said looking at me with sadness in his eyes

I smiled and looked away , looking out one of the windows to hide my sorrow.

The rest of the day Albus showed my the grounds , after the mist cleared it was much better to memorize the pathways. He showed me the owlery , and basically explained the plan of the castle using cute little land marks , he also have me a simple map to help me if I happened to get lost.
He warned me that the Black Forest was forbidden to anyone , including the professors , he strictly said I mustn't venture in it unless I want a slow painful death. But something inside me awakened when looking into the forest , I couldn't keep the feeling in my stomach away from my thoughts . Something in me was calling to it , perhaps my adventurous side was coming out , but I was worried what would happen if I let it out. It could be something I'd regret.

Night time approach , and we hurried inside . Albus was pleasant company to me , I enjoyed listening to him. He had a sense of wisdom in every thing he said , and even in everything he did . I looked up to him as an inspiration
He directed me towards a large hall, otherwise known as a eating hall. He explained that this is where students will eat their 3 meals everyday, Homework sessions are held here and be mentioned dueling had happened here as well.
As I walk in , my eyes are immediately distracted by the beautiful and most peculiar ceiling I have ever come across, it was enchanted you see, to look like the night sky. As a child I've always been fascinated about stars and astronomy, it's been a comfort thing to me , learning about myths and legends . Late at night ,especially in the orphanage , I would creep up onto the roofs of London (trying not to get caught) . I would sit for hours looking at the beautiful sky above me, distracted with my thoughts. Pointing out shapes and characters from the stars , making up stories that kept me hoping.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a loud grunting noise , realizing it was Dumbledore holding out a chair for me , I realized we were alone in the hall. "Morgana , I haven't told you this before, but I suppose I should tell you now, you see Hogwarts is holding the Triwizard Tournament this year and most of the rooms are going to be used by the extra guests we will be having , most of the professors will be sharing rooms to accompany all of the people. You will be sharing quarters with Professor Severus Snape, he is the potions master and not too fond of people might I add" he chuckles" he is a respectful man and will not be in your way, I trust him very much and know he will not to anything of the sort to harm you, but if you feel uncomfortable with the arrangements please let me know and I will be happy to change " he said sighing but with an odd glitter in his eyes

I thought for a while , sharing quarters with a grown man , no I can't. But something inside me , probably my gut, said that I should give it a go and see what happens, but before I could answer Albus , a loud bang occurs from the entrance doors and a very mysterious figure struts in ....
