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.

In the shadowed dungeons of Hogwarts, where potions simmer and secrets brew, you find yourself drawn to the most unlikely of mentors: Severus Snape, the cold-hearted Potions Master. As you train to become his apprentice, you uncover layers of the man behind the sneer-his guarded vulnerability, his quiet strength, and the flicker of something deeper in his obsidian gaze. Likewise, he begins to care for you more than he ever has for anyone, noticing a spark in you that has been missing from his life for so long. But as your bond grows, so does the danger. One of your closest friends, entangled in their own reckless pursuits, meddle in dark and dangerous business, pulling you into a web of chaos. Torn between keeping their scandals a secret and the fragile connection you've forged with Snape, you must navigate a world of shadows, where every glance and whispered word could ignite a spark-or burn everything to ash. As the potion dragged me under, I heard him linger, his whisper trailing into the dark. "What am I to do with you...You silly girl."

Lydia Adams juró que nunca volvería al mundo mágico. Abandonó todo rastro de su vida en Hogwarts y se refugió en el anonimato del París muggle, donde el silencio reemplazó a los hechizos y el café a los encantamientos. Pero el pasado nunca se entierra del todo. Cuando Dumbledore la convoca inesperadamente para ocupar el puesto de profesora de Encantamientos en Hogwarts, Lydia acepta... a regañadientes. Allí la espera Remus Lupin, su mejor amigo de adolescencia, el único que alguna vez supo leerla más allá de las apariencias. Y también Severus Snape... el enemigo con el que compartió años de odio, burlas y heridas que nunca sanaron. Lo que Lydia no esperaba era que el hombre en que Snape se ha convertido-áspero, solitario, herido y más humano de lo que recordaba-fuera capaz de desordenarle el alma. Y lo que ninguno de los dos imaginaba es que, entre secretos, duelos verbales y cicatrices compartidas, el odio podía transformarse en algo más peligroso: amor. Una historia de segundas oportunidades, redención y las sombras que nunca desaparecen del todo.

"Would it be better if I didn't exist?" "Yes." Your soul was intertwined with his, but his heart belongs to another. [severus snape x reader] #1 harrypotterimagines #1 hpimagines #1 severussnapexreader #1 souls #8 snape
