Hogwarts has seen many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors come and go. But when Professor Emma Goldmark joins the staff, she is nothing like Severus Snape expected-young, sharp-witted, and entirely too defiant for his liking. From their very first meeting, tension crackles between them, a battle of intellect and will. Between whispered confessions, stolen moments, and a war looming on the horizon, they are bound together by something neither of them can name. But in a world where trust is a rare commodity and every choice comes with a price, will they risk everything for what lies between them?

(Y/N) (Y/MN) (Y/L), A substitute teacher for the Defence Against The Dark Arts subject in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An Independent woman of many secrets. Severus Tobias Snape, The potions master. The most intimidating professor in Hogwarts who has dark secrets of his own. Two people with complicated past, Fated to meet....Fated to love.

After years spent disappearing into the Scottish Highlands, Althea "Ally" Gaunt returns to Hogwarts carrying more than a suitcase and a job offer. She brings with her a dire wolf bound by ancient magic, a bloodline that refuses to stay buried, and a shadow that has learned her name. Hogwarts should feel like safety. Familiar corridors. Greenhouses heavy with living things. A place to begin again. Instead, it becomes a reckoning. This is not a story about neat recoveries or heroic destinies. It is about the things that survive war-grief, guilt, desire, and the quiet violence of memory. It is about what happens when the darkness you flee takes root inside you... and inside the people who recognize it in themselves. As old curses stir and new threats press closer, Ally finds herself caught between what she was taught to become and what she desperately wants to be. Between isolation and found family. Between fear and a connection that burns slowly, dangerously, and refuses to be ignored. This is a story about haunted people trying to heal in a castle that remembers everything. About love that grows in shadowed places. About choosing who you are when your past insists otherwise. A gothic, slow-burn tale of dark magic, sharp humor, aching intimacy, and redemption earned the hard way-one choice, one wound, one fragile hope at a time.

After fifteen years away, Victoria Loving returns to Hogwarts expecting a quiet life teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Instead, she finds herself entangled in the secrets, shadows, and fractured loyalties of Severus Snape. When she discovers the truth of his allegiance, she risks everything to protect a man who refuses to be saved. As war brews once more, loyalty becomes lethal, love becomes a liability, and the line between devotion and destruction grows dangerously thin.

"You belong some where you feel free..." After the tumultuous events of the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape seeks a fresh start, accepting a position as Potions Master at Ilvermorny. He arrives at the magical school in the shadow of Mount Greylock, hoping for a quieter life, but peace remains elusive when he crosses paths with Kat Hawthorne, a bold and enigmatic Transfiguration professor. Despite her playful nature and carefree attitude, there's something about her that pulls Severus in-though he's determined to resist. As they navigate the intricacies of their new roles, an undeniable tension simmers between them, complicated further by the presence of Headmaster Cypress Brook, Kat's brooding ex-fiancé, whose dark history with her casts a long shadow over the school. Kat is no stranger to chaos, having long embraced her rebellious streak, but her carefully managed facade cracks when Severus arrives-his guarded demeanor and shared history with loss reflecting parts of herself she'd rather forget. The two find themselves drawn together, yet held back by secrets, old wounds, and the looming presence of Cypress, whose unresolved past with Kat threatens to reignite. As Severus and Kat struggle to clear the air between them, they must decide whether to confront their demons or risk letting the ghosts of their pasts drive them apart forever. Titled based on a Tom Petty song.
