The story revolves around Severus Snape and OC. Childhood friends but forgotten with time. The timeline is before Harry Potter Arrived at Hogwarts to avoid interfering with the plot. OC, Lily and Severus. Three best friends lost in time. One left the world, one busied himself with work and the last one just disappeared. All characters And rights belong to JK Rowling.

Elena Moretti never planned to see Severus Snape again. But Hogwarts has a sense of humor... and so does she. Returning as the new DADA professor, Elena brings warmth, patience, and a streak of mischief that drives Severus mad. Especially when she hands him the watch he gave her years ago, her way of saying she's "done" with him. She isn't. But he doesn't need to know that yet. Severus tries to stay distant. Elena pretends she stopped caring. Yet every corridor, every late night staff moment, every accidental meeting pulls them back toward each other. A slowburn story of forgiveness disguised as rivalry, humor wrapped around heartbreak, and two professors who can't stop orbiting each other no matter how hard they try.
