It's 1991. Ten years ago in Madame Rosmerta's Pub, Lucy Dawson encountered a man she couldn't get off of her mind. He was an emotional mess....and drunk. This man confided in her the source of his misery: a woman he loved was dead. She didn't know it until later that night, but his name was Severus Snape. The details of that night stayed with her for a decade, and when something happened to change her life, Lucy decided to find Severus, to get the full story of what happened to him that night. She writes him a letter and sends them by an owl named Lulu. He is surprised to receive it and they begin to write to each other regularly. Follow their correspondence as it blossoms from friendship to a little more and ultimately...to love. But there is something standing in their way of being together. In this alternate Harry Potter universe, Death Eaters are still active, carrying on their master's wishes. And one of those wishes will affect Lucy. Maybe even permanently. Will Lucy and Severus conquer this obstacle? Or will something happen to one of them before they're able to? Read to find out... *DISCLAIMER: All Harry Potter characters and rights belong to J.K. Rowling. Original characters and the idea for this story belong to me.

After the second wizarding war and revealing those memories of his love for Lily after all those times, he was again in peril of going back to the past, blaming himself once again of his betrayal to Lily and her death. A new Transfiguration teacher recommended by Minerva that Headmaster Severus Snape isn't able to decline came to Hogwarts, the compassionate, kind and beautiful Miss Adeline Heart. Friendship was built and grew more into what frightened him in the present. Would Severus Snape be capable to start anew, move on from his past and love again?

"Don't think." Nay said. "Come in. Let me make it better." Snape survived the war; Nayme Adams (OC) is a muggle woman teaching Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. She meets our favorite snarky Potions Master and, together, they must face a new threat to the entire humanity. Beware of blood and gore and a whole lot of sex - truth be told, the plot was written only to pull the naughty bits together... and naughty they will be indeed - after the mutual pining bit. Be warned! THIS FIC IS COMPLETE and it's also on AO3. * Loads of easter eggs for Rickman fans. Hope you catch them! ** ob.vi.ous.ly I do not own any of JK Rowling's characters. Nor do I partake in her views regarding the transgender community.
