When you, a skilled metamorphagus had accepted a teaching job from Albus Dumbledore, the famous Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you had no idea what the job would entail, except for the fact that you would be working with your old childhood friend, Severus Snape. You haven't seen Severus in years, and you were quite anxious to see him again. What will happen? Will you fall in love once more, but this time with your fellow Professor, Severus Snape?

Severus stood a few paces before her. His eyes were on the ruined cauldron. "Tell me," his voice shook, and tears formed in his eyes, "why do you wear flowers in your hair?" He kept looking to his cauldron. "I don't understand." "How does such a simple ritual bring you happiness? Why are you always---" he stepped closer to her, "so---" by her elbows, he gently held her to him, "---happy?" A droplet escaped from his eye, splashing on the floor between them. He gazed his vulnerability into her eyes, his dark tresses brushing his chin. "Tell me, do you believe in shifting reality?" Severus's hooked nose brushed against hers. He repeated his response from last year. "I do not believe in miracles." ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯○○◯○○⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Rᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ, ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ, & ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴘᴏssɪʙʟᴇ ʜᴏᴘᴇ. Tʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴘᴏᴛɪᴏɴ ʜᴇ ᴄᴀɴɴᴏᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ.

Severus Snape's life never really coincided with the Muggle world. His life existed within the walls of the wizarding world, and that was just how he liked it. However, after one fateful night in London, he meets a Muggle that begins to put the magic back into his life that he didn't know he was missing.

She's heartbroken from a former lover and trying to find inspiration and courage to move on. Sinclair shows her what love should really feel like, but she's not so sure that love can be found twice.

~ SNAPE X READER • HOGWARTS AU ~ Reader is a female Slytherin student. Hogwarts AU. 17 is the age of consent where I live, so Reader is not underage. Let me dream. Tags will appear as: (first name)/(last name) You've always been top of potions class, but now Professor Snape wants to reward your hard work. "What does that smell like to you, (first name)?" It took you a moment. He wanted you to respond aloud this time. "Y-you..." your voice shook - you realised you couldn't meet his eye or you'd surely faint. "Very good." He inhaled deeply into the swirling mists that skimmed the top of the cauldron. His eyes darkened as they returned to you. "What do you think I smell, (first name)?" "...Me?" Your gaze met. You didn't faint. You felt... just right, looking into his eyes of obsidian. "Excellent." His tongue teased you from between his lips. "You always were my star student."

You did it. You landed your dream role. You are going to be Zoey Murphy in Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen. You can hardly contain yourself. You know this role will change your career, everything will be different. However, you don't realize how little that is going to be because of the production, and how much it will be because of your cast mate. The things you feel between the two of you is just for the show. ...right?
