A talented young witch is employed as an apprentice professor at Hogwarts, but who will she be working under? Severus Snape is not best pleased with his new responsibility of taking on an apprentice, however she is relentless to create a friendship between them. Will she be successful? Or might the friendship just go a little two far? With the eyes of her grandfather constantly watching over them, an attempt at a relationship might not be in the cards for Aria Dumbledore and Severus Snape. . . . . . . . [Essentially this story will be an updated and hopefully improved version of "Loved By You" one of my earlier works. Although it will not be an exact replica many things will be similar and plots may be repeated.]

Introduction Another year at Hogwarts, another bunch of lousy, loud, and obnoxious students. Each year was the same for Professor Snape, every year, every day, and every hour. Consistent brooding. Until one year, a rather peculiar girl had made herself known to the professor. A girl, who was homeschooled for 5 years, was transferred into Hogwarts. Others thought nothing of it, but not Professor Snape. He decided to make it his purpose (besides his other promise to Albus Dumbledore) to make her stay at Hogwarts a living hell, even if she unknowingly tugged on his heartstrings.
