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.

Slow Burn Fanfiction | Rated 18+ Severus Snape x Reader (Professor) Taking a position at Hogwarts should have been simple. Teach your classes, settle into the castle and avoid unnecessary trouble. Severus Snape makes the last part difficult from the moment you meet. He has little patience for you and even less interest in explaining himself. You return every sharp remark and refuse to be intimidated by his temper. Over time the arguments change. Conversations continue after they should have ended and brief moments of closeness become harder to dismiss. Severus keeps his past guarded and trust does not come easily to him. Getting close means accepting that some questions will remain unanswered. When old dangers begin to surface again the fragile connection between you is tested before either of you has decided what it truly means.

How will (Y/N) (Y/L) get along with the Potions Master - Severus Snape, as she becomes the teacher of Hogwarts of Herbology momentarily? This is fun 'little' mashup with the characters of Harry Potter - so please, do not think way too much of the original story as you read this. It's way more fun that way. Just sit back and enjoy! :)
