Marigold Evans had always lived in the shadow of her sister-but she never minded. Where Lily shined, Marigold stayed warm and steady, offering kindness, loyalty, and a quiet kind of strength that few ever noticed. At Hogwarts, she found herself drawn to someone everyone else avoided-Severus Snape. To others, he was cold, distant, and difficult. To Marigold, he was simply... lonely. And so she stayed. She laughed when he didn't, stood by him when no one else would, and gave him a friendship he never asked for -but slowly came to need. But for Marigold, friendship was never enough. As her feelings deepened into something more, Severus could only see echoes of the past-reminders of a love he could never let go. In the end, he chose distance over devotion, breaking the one bond that had been real. What they had-fragile and unspoken-fell apart before it ever truly began. Left behind with a shattered heart and a secret she never meant to carry, Marigold is forced to face a future alone-holding onto the love he refused to see, and the life he never knew he left behind. Because sometimes, the cruelest kind of love... is the one that was never chosen.

"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧." Snape said as he came into the room with the tea. "𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐫?" I asked rather confused. "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤," ⋆─────⋆✯⋆─────⋆ Emilia comes from two well-known Pureblood families, the Slytherins and the Blacks. And although both families are from England, she lived in the US and studied magic at Ilvermorny, until one day when she receives a letter from Dumbledore, who has requested her presence at Hogwarts. ⚠️Plot and characters that are not in the movies/books belong to me, the rest belong to J.K.

‎"‎𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠?" I asked, he then looked at me, sadness taking hold of his eyes. He moved his right hand to his left sleeve robe and slowly lifted it. I clapped my hands over my mouth, the faded Death Eater mark that Severus had was now jet black. I looked at Severus and shook my head in disbelieve, he looked at me and then said something that I hoped I would never hear. "𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤." ⚠️Plot and characters that are not in the movies/books belong to me, the rest belong to J.K. Rowling⚠️

Severus Snape is the last person you should ever desire. For five years, you've clashed like flint and steel, two Slytherins locked in a battle of pride and sharp words. You, a pure-blood who guards secrets, clinging to ideals you've never truly embraced. Him, a half-blood outcast with edges too dark to ignore. Then, alone in a room, a boundary shatters. Everything ignites. Hatred warps into something darker, more intimate, more dangerous. In the hidden corners of Hogwarts, between whispered insults, stolen glances, and secret encounters, you begin to strip each other bare, body and soul, in a slow descent into a passion that threatens to destroy everything you've worked to protect. And maybe... into something you're not ready to face. ------- Juliett Avery x Severus Snape. Sixth year. AU timeline. Hogwarts admits students from age 13. Set during the Marauders era. Snape and the protagonist are both 18. Dark romance. Angst. Enemies to lovers. Friends with benefits. Slow burn.

Snape survived but at a cost. Dumbledore had to work a lot of things out including how his owning the three deathly hallows allowed him to conquer death. Although the old man survived and is relatively healthy, Snape isn't the same. The man is more closed off and only lives because he knows Albus needs him to lean on. This is where Athena comes in as a sort of potions apprentice. Snape thinks Albus has lost his mind but in reality Snape needs the help as he struggles both physically and emotionally. JKROWLING owns everything apart from the students as well as Athena and the mentioned friends. I love HP and love all of the professors as well as the photos at the top of each chapter.

Snape survives the final battle, but Harry believes him to be dead. What will happen when they meet nineteen years later? Read to find out. Explores the lives of Harry and Severus post Deathly Hallows and how their friendship unfolds.

I recommend reading the prequel of the book first, but it's not a must! Book 2 has the intimate scenes, so try anyway ;-) If you are not interested in a bit of back story with the original characters, then start reading at chapter 7 or 8 only - that brings you back to Severus and Leonor. "Dream & Shadow" starts at HP/Book 3 and continues to August 1995. "Shadow & Love" starts in May 1996 and continues to the end of the Second Wizarding War and beyond!
