Severus Snape lives his life in shadows with the goal of redemption and the specter of his demise at the forefront of his life. People he trusted always used him and gave up on him. He never thought someone would ever believe that he could be loved and redeemed. And he never thought he'd ever discover a desire to live and come to a realization that perhaps not all is lost.

A surprise is lurking around the corner for Snape just after the war. It had been a year of pure struggle to overcome the pain and healing that was needed to recover after the war. Despite Snape wishing that he had died he somehow did not. When he returns to work, back as a defence teacher and the head of Slytherin, the walls of Hogwarts finally gives back but it isn't how he expected. Resentment was evident but headmistress McGonagall forces him to keep going. To push until there is nothing left to push.

So far Aurora's life hasn't exactly changed for the better. Growing up as the daughter of the one and only Nicholas Flamel, responsibilities seem to pile up around her. Being forced into hiding by pretending to be seventeen year old student at Hogwarts was no fun either, especially considering the tall-dark-and-mysterious potions teacher that kept sticking his nose where it didn't belong. Now, not only did she meet her SoulMate, who turned out not to love her back, she also lost their child. Broken and unable to overcome her grief, Aurora decides to embark on a journey that's about as much about moving on as it is about extracting revenge. But fate, just like death, has a way of catching up with you, and as Aurora confronts her ghosts, both from her past and present, there's only one person who can truly safe her-even from herself.

Aurora Beauchanan has a secret. As the daughter of the renowned Alchemist Nicholas Flamel, there are things about her life no one should know about. Like the fact that her destiny is intrincately entertwined with that of her Potions Professor, Severus Snape. As the two of them fight the growing attraction between them, they'll have to find a way to deal with the hand fate dealt them, hoping, against all odds, that love truly can conquer all...

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!

Julia just started her 6th year at Hogwarts and has to endure a hard blow of fate suddenly. Alone and without friends, she seeks consolation in a person from whom she would never have expected it, but who has already suffered a great loss, too... Two lonely souls find each other. __________________________ *Comment of the author:* I have to say that I'm a great fan of Severus Snape. He has a loving and kind side, too, just doesn't want anybody to see it. He keeps people away, because he don't wanna get hurt again. Of course, he also did many things I don't appreciate, but nevertheless he died way too early and never experienced being truly loved. He deserved more and that makes me sad. So I decided to create a story, which gives him the love he deserves. I hope you'll enjoy it. All characters and the background story are devised by J.K.Rowling, a great writer by the way. I quoted some passages out of her books, too. The only aspects I invented are Julia, her parents and some details of the story. I would be extremely happy, about some comments and critics. (I'm not a native english speaker) ___________________________ *Tribute* I also want to pay tribute to Alan Rickman, who played Severus Snape and many other great characters so convincing. I didn't know him personally, but from many interviews and movies. I got the impression, that he wasn't just a very talented actor, director and artist. He was also a kind, funny and helping man, who enchanted me and I'm sure a lot of you guys, too, with his deep voice, his dry humor and his touching acting. He died way too early, but with appreciating his work we all can preserve his memory. Rest in peace Alan Rickman. We miss you.
