Y/N Reynolds is an American professor, formerly the potions mistress at Ilvermorny, who has relocated to Great Britain for reasons yet to be revealed. Through connections, she is offered a position to assist at Hogwarts by the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Upon beginning the new term, Professor Reynolds is faced with many challenging tasks, one of which is winning over the brooding potions master, Severus Snape. "I think, like the sortings, each school is a little different. Each house at Ilvermorny represents part of the body of a wizard. The Horned Serpents are the mind, the Wampus' are the body, the Pukwudgie's are the heart and the Thunderbirds are the...soul." You explain to them. Snape looks up to you as you finish your statement to the staff. His hair makes a nice frame around his face. "Soul?" Snape thinks. "How could this girl embody the soul?" Story starts off with some plot, smut and angst, then will start from the beginning. I chose to use a last name for Y/N because it is simpler for me to write. Starts in GOF. Finished OOTP. Finished HBP. In DH. All rights of characters, places, and things reserved to JK Rowling, besides y/n Reynolds.

A new school year means a new set of changes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Severus Snape is introduced to new teacher Professor Kalina Oakblood who will be teaching Herbology as well as assisting Snape and his students for the new year, courtesy of Dumbledore. Argumentative, rude and spiteful are many words that Kalina could use to sum up Severus Snape, a hot-headed and miserable professor who has the longing to make students lives a misery. Sweet, cheerful and reliable are the many words that most people would use to sum up Professor Kalina Oakblood but not everyone is convinced. With a dark secret within and the Chamber of Secrets opening, can Severus and Kalina be prepared to push their problems aside or will it all be too late and their complications hinder their lives? *slow burn*
