Severus Snape x reader one shots and imagines

The Better Student Part 1

Warnings : crying(???)

Y/N's POV:

I sat in my last class of the day, potions, staring at *him*. Severus Snape and I had a bit of an unhealthy competition ever since professor Slughorn compared our similarities as we were both at the top of the class. Since then, we had been trying to determine who was the better student. So far Severus was in the lead.

What was so great about him anyway? Why did professor Slughorn even consider comparing us? I was clearly better.

I analysed his features; his long black hair that kept falling in his face as he wrote down notes, his nose which was much too large for his face, his hair that kept falling in his face, his dark focused eyes, his hair that kept falling in his goddamn fac- "Miss Y/LN"

I snapped out of my daze. "Yes sir?" "Would you be so kind as to explain what I was just saying?" The entire class turned to look at me. *He* looked at me. A smug smirk creeping up to his face. He thought I was done for. I was in trouble. He was now the favourite student.

Think again Severus Snape.

I looked at the board and thought about the last thing I heard professor Slughorn say...

"You were speaking about Amortentia sir. The most powerful love potion which has a different smell for everyone, resembling what or who they love the most. Some of the characteristics of the potion include spiralling steam and a mother-of-pearl sheen. Despite it's name, Amortentia does not create real love as real love cannot be manufactured. It simply creates obsession."

"Well done Miss Y/LN! I hadn't even mentioned most of what you had said! 10 points to Y/H!"

I saw Severus' smirk drop and smiled sweetly at him.

I win this round Snape.

Severus' POV:

She answered Slughorn's question perfectly. How did she know all of that?

She turned to me and smirked. I wanted nothing more than to wipe that stupid smirk off of her stupid face.

Not much later, class was over and it was time for dinner. I walked out of the class as fast as possible to avoid her taunting remarks.

But I wasn't fast enough.

"What's wrong sevy? You're running out of class as if you have somewhere to b- "Shut it Y/LN"

"Oooh someone's in a bad mood"

I looked down at her, expressionless trying not to show how annoyed I really was. That's what she wanted.

She looked up at me and rolled her eyes. "Calm down Sevy, I'm just messing with you"

"You're not funny. And stop calling me Sevy"

"Mmhmm whatever, I'll see you when I'm whipping your ass in potions tomorrow" she said walking away from me backwards, so she could still face me as she spoke. She blew me a kiss and winked before turning around and walking to the great hall.

I felt a weird feeling in my stomach when she blew me a kiss. She blew me a kiss. She blew me a kiss? Why did she blow me a kiss? Was she trying to throw me off? Mess with my mind perhaps? Whatever, it's not like I care. It's not like I liked it, I wasn't going to stay up all night thinking about it...

~time skip to the potions on next day~

Y/N's POV :

"Ahem!" Professor Slughorn cleared his throat to quiet down the class. "As you all know, you will be performing your assignment soon. For this assignment you will have to prepare one advanced potion of your choice in class and the same advanced potion in your own time as well as write an essay explaining what you did. Please do note, your marks for this potion make up half of your grade for the year, that being said please do study for this and work exceptionally hard-"
