Any young wizard would be lucky to be enrolled there. Especially you. Don't get me wrong, you're a great student....but not so much in potions. You shouldn't worry though! Professor Snape will help you! ....Just make sure he doesn't find out your secret.

Aurora Beauchanan is many things, and apparently being a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is about to be added to that list. With quite a few secrets that are better left untold, and befriending not only Harry, but the Weasley's and their friends as well, her whole life is about to be turned upside down, even more so when she meets the enigmatic Potions Professor, Severus Snape...And as Severus tries to unravel the mysterious personality of the young witch that seems unphased by his ill tempered and harsh disposition, he can't help but be curious about the unabashed and defiant Gryffindor who seems to present more trouble than she is worth. With a spirited character and an attitude to match, Aurora finds that blending in and keeping a low profile don't exactly make for an easy life, especially with the Triwizard Tournament around the corner. When nothing is as it seems, how is she supposed to distinguish between what's real and what isn't? Say....feelings about a certain potions professor that she can't seem to stay away from? As the secrets and mysteries pile up around her while her past threatens to expose itself, Aurora will have to overcome insurmountable odds and decide who she can trust as her life hangs in the balance. After all, sometimes things aren't about doing the right thing, but doing what needs to be done. This story takes place during the events of The Goblet of Fire. Soulmate AU with a bit of a twist, since happy endings don't necessarily last forever. Note: This is a rough draft, and the first round of editing changed the POV from first to third person. It's still being edited, so a second draft should take care of any remaining grammatical errors and the like. Thank you for sticking with this story, and I hope you enjoy it!

Severus Snape: one of the most despised Hogwarts Teachers; the Head of Slytherin House and The Potions Master. Rude, snarky, and generally cold-hearted, it's not a wonder why people don't like him. At least, that's what everyone says. Except perhaps you. ............................. Hey guys! Harry Potter (the entire series and movies and any other publication of any kind) doesn't belong to me. The picture on the cover doesn't belong to me either. I just write fanfictions. This is my first time going public and writing to an audience. I will attempt to write at a continuous rate, because like you, I like a good story and cannot wait for the next chapter. I will be waiting for a good amount of comments/votes/anything really to continue. And I promise: I will finish this one. Best of luck.

#1 Severussnape March 17th 2019 #1 HarryPotter January 5th 2020 "Because what I want to do is wrong... and I don't trust myself enough to be seen with you in the public eye." His voice dropped to a whisper as he took a step away from me. I smiled, glad that he was feeling the exact same way as me, but hurt that he didn't want to explore what was between us. I let my smile falter as I walked passed him, purposely letting my hand graze his as I did. I took a seat on the couch and he followed, sitting beside me. "I'm eighteen." I looked at my Professor, trying to convince myself to keep eye contact. It's funny how out of a school setting he doesn't look like he could be my teacher. He simply looks like any other person... my age. Except for the fact that he is incredibly gorgeous, that definitely stands out. "You're..." He held his sentence for much longer than he normally does. He seemed to use this time to examine me, which I was beginning to get used to now. "Eighteen." With his voice speaking my age, I saw a flicker a mischief flash through his eyes. He licked his lips, as he looked down at his lap, a low chuckled coming from him. "It's gonna be hard to stay away from you." The new Potion's teacher is only 21 years old... he has a reputation around the school of being cold, heartless and a bit hard to handle. But what happens when he becomes abnormally close with one of his students? What will the professors say? Will he lose his job? Read to find out!! And get involved in this hopelessly romantic Hogwarts world! THERE ARE THREE ENDINGS TO THIS STORY. AT TWO POINTS DURING THIS STORY, THERE WILL BE DIRECTIONS TELLING YOU WHAT CHAPTERS TO SKIP TO IF YOU WISH TO READ A DIFFERENT ENDING. Have fun reading my dudes! I do not own any of these characters. Or anything to do with Harry Potter at all. This is just a fun Romance story! RIP: Alan Rickman. You were loved by many 💚🖤
