Severus Snape never believed in love. Not after Lily Potter died. Not after the war took everything from him, leaving behind a miserable husk of a man. But, the universe has a funny way of giving you the very things you thought you never wanted. Or ones you never thought you'd ever have... And for the grumpy Potions Master, that comes in the form a five foot two blonde spitfire who upends everything he thought he knew.

Severus Snape is a recluse. Following the second Wizarding War, he retreated into the shadows, hiding away from everyone and everything. He preferred life that way - solitary, quiet, and uncomplicated. Other than his occasional affiliation with a certain dark wizarding website. One where he can fully be himself and express his rather... preternatural desires... Online he is BlackPotioneer... a man who is sought out for being a retired Death Eater; not one who is feared for it. And when he begins messaging with a very timid Bookworm18, Severus soon learns that, maybe, even the darkest parts of him don't have to stay hidden away forever.

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! :)

Severus Snape: Most students hate him. He is not liked by lots of people. People refer to him as a bully. People describe him as mean, cruel, ugly, cold, bitter and sarcastic but do they know the real him? One thing that no one can deny is that he is a very powerful wizard with a very intelligent and strong mind. One day a new professor enters the castle and changes his life completely. He does not know what to do. Follow his mind or his heart. He needs to decide at some point because The Dark Lord will return and when he does, Severus must decide again, which side he chooses. Will he choose her? My story starts in "The Goblet of Fire" and I plan to write through "The Deathly Hallows". I hope you enjoy my story and have fun reading it. I would be happy if you'd let me know if you like the story or what I could do better :)

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.
