Severus Snape has an esteemed reputation to maintain, so he often spreads himself too thin. He becomes so overworked that he is assigned an assistant. You're kind and polite, but will not tolerate disrespect...definitely his kind of helper. Soon enough, potions aren't the only thing brewing between the two.

From his work desk in the room, Severus heard the rustling of paper- coming directly from Y/N's box. A genuine smile caressed his face and he draped the blanket over his shoulders to check the portal. Inside the box lay a slip of paper with little doodles of different types of flowers, and between the small drawings, the most endearing words Severus had heard in a very long time. Most characters and events belong to J.K. Rowling and other respective owners of the Harry Potter series!

Severus Snape: one of the most despised Hogwarts Teachers; the Head of Slytherin House and The Potions Master. Rude, snarky, and generally cold-hearted, it's not a wonder why people don't like him. At least, that's what everyone says. Except perhaps you. ............................. Hey guys! Harry Potter (the entire series and movies and any other publication of any kind) doesn't belong to me. The picture on the cover doesn't belong to me either. I just write fanfictions. This is my first time going public and writing to an audience. I will attempt to write at a continuous rate, because like you, I like a good story and cannot wait for the next chapter. I will be waiting for a good amount of comments/votes/anything really to continue. And I promise: I will finish this one. Best of luck.

-fan fiction- Cora, a young witch, tries to unlock her personal truth and destiny, while trying to detect why she is pulled in the direction of a mysterious professor. An inspired playlist can be found on Apple Music: After all this time? by xliquidxluckx

"Who are you?" He asked me rudely, his eyes assessing me in such a way that made me feel scrutinized. I smirked, eyes meeting his, refusing to cower underneath his gaze. "Wouldn't you like to know.." ******* *Dedicated to the late & great Alan Rickman* *Book 1*

"Venus, are you alright?" He asked softly, searching my face. I smiled, his eyes hypnotizing me with one look. "Never better." ***Dedicated to the late and great Alan Rickman*** *Book 2*

There's more than one way to get what you want with a gun, and Hans knew each and every one of them extremely well.
