Severus Snape has spent over the last decade keeping his heart blocked off from the world. He's given up on finding his happiness and given up on love. When a new professor shows up and begins to melt away the ice of his heart, he finds new life within himself. But the ghosts of her past stand in the way, particularly an ex-lover of hers and a former enemy of Severus Snape. Can the two of them work through their own tribulations, or will his beliefs and values be cemented forever?

Severus Snape had long buried the memories of his first and only best friend, Y/n. As teenagers, they had shared a bond that made life's darkness seem brighter, but their story was cut short when Y/n abruptly moved away, vanishing from his life without so much as a goodbye. The pain of her sudden absence shaped the man Severus would become: guarded, bitter, and solitary. Years later, Severus has settled into his role as the stern Potions Master at Hogwarts, convinced that love and second chances are luxuries he cannot afford. But when he encounters a familiar face roaming the castle halls, his carefully constructed world is turned upside down. Y/n is back-seeking the position of Potions Assistant-and with her return comes a flood of unanswered questions and emotions Severus thought he had buried forever. As they navigate their shared past and the complexities of their present, old wounds resurface, and a spark that once burned bright threatens to reignite. I want to say that this story is not a chronic order, the timeline is mixed up but characters are by J.K. Rowling ⚠️there is mention of abuse⚠️

Alaina Evans was considered dangerous and locked away...until the Death Eaters came for her. She was saved by a stranger, a man her sister knew. On the night Lily and James were killed, she officially became their son's guardian. Alaina would protect him until he got to Hogwarts and after, thanks to an offer to be a professor at the school. It was at Hogwarts that she would run into an old friend, the man that saved her life, Severus Snape. And it becomes clear the more time she spends with him, the more she starts to fall. Will Alaina be able to take care of Harry or will her love for Severus get in the way? Cover by: Mayademonangel

Set during the Goblet of Fire, we follow the TRUE hero of the Harry Potter series - Severus Snape. Severus meets a healer from the Beauxbatons who came to aid Madam Poppy Pomfrey during the tournament. It is lust at first sight but will Severus ever let down his guards enough to let her in? This will be part 1 - I Plan to work my way through books 4-7 and perhaps a bit more, if people are interested.

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.

#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 💚🖤

In a story full of tension, wit, and barely-contained desire, one forbidden connection could change everything. 🖤 𝕱𝖔𝖗𝖇𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖊𝖓 𝕿𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖙𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓𝖘 | 𝔖𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔲𝔰 𝔖𝔫𝔞𝔭𝔢 ｘ ℜ𝔢𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔯 🖤 When nineteen-year-old (Y/N) (L/N), a gifted Ilvermorny transfer student, arrives at Hogwarts during Harry Potter's first year, she expects a year of learning-not to find herself intrigued by the one man everyone else fears. Severus Snape is cold, cruel, and impossible to impress. Unfortunately, he's also magnetic, unreadable, and far too observant. Their connection begins in the shadows-shared silence in the library, a note slipped between pages, a duel that ends with her on the floor and his voice in her ear. What follows is tension thick enough to cut with a wand, private lessons that blur too many lines, and a dangerous kind of mentorship that feels like unraveling. She wanted someone who could read between the lines. And he was the one who truly understood them. ✨ Expect: - Stolen glances and sharp retorts - Potions, power, and private lessons - A slow descent into something forbidden - Sexual tension, emotional intimacy, and a hell of a lot of restraint 📖 Third-Person POV | Set during Philosopher's Stone 🖤 Professor x Student • age gap 🎭 Witty banter • Deep wounds ⚗️ Dark Academia meets emotional intimacy
