You're Back (Severus Snape x Reader)

🌌Flashback🌌

Y/n's Pov: 

After dinner, you headed back to the headmistresses office to talk with Albus. When you reached the door you said the password and walked into the dimly lit room, McGonagall left to give you two privacy. 

Sitting in the chair at the desk and slowly turning around in it you came face to "face" with Dumbledore.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you Y/n."

"You make it sound as if I'm old, I'm only 37," you said looking over your shoulder with an annoyed face.

Albus laughs quietly, "I can still remember the day I found you in that horrid forest."

Flashback:

A 12-year-old child walks through the Forbidden Forest barefooted with a young Thestral to her right. As they make their way to their secure treehouse they hear a sound coming from the dark woods. Stopping immediately, they looked around cautiously for any danger. The child was not afraid of any of the creatures living in the forest along with her because she had befriended them all. But the sound that was made came from no Centaur, or Acromantula, or even a Unicorn. 

Slowly an old man came into their line of vision, gracefully walking towards the young child. The Thestral stood in front of the child in a protective stance, whining at the stranger to turn around and leave.

But the old man stayed there, showing no fear, he dropped his wand signing that he was not a threat. The young Thestral looked at its owner not sure what to do but stood back when the child called her off.

"What do you want?" They asked with a threatening tone.

The old man then picked up his wand and told the child, "I have come to offer you a spot at my academy."

"Why?" The child responded with uncertainty in their voice.

"Well, because you live in the forest this must be horrible for you."

"It's not, I'm quite alright here," they respond uninterested in his offer.

"Why don't we talk this over with a cup of tea?" He suggested.

Sighing at the determined man the youngster began to walk toward a dimly lit treehouse. As they got closer to the house, the older male could see light snow covering the ground and pretty fairy lights around the stairs.

As they entered the small home, the Thestral laid on its makeshift bed in the corner and quickly fell asleep. As the child began to make the tea, the elder took the chance to look around, wondering how a small person such as them could build a home like this.

"I built it with magic," they said as if they were reading his mind, "If you were wondering."

"We can continue this chat in my room T/n is sleeping and I do not wish to wake her," The child stated as they made their way to the room. Sitting down on the bed with a teacup in hand the mysterious child asked for the elder's name.

"Albus Dumbledore," he said with a soft voice, "And you are?"

"Y/n L/n," Y/n said proudly.
