Hans Gruber spends one last night with his lover. This story begins the day before the events of Die Hard, and we get to explore a different side of the villain of the story. A brief warning (shouldn't be a spoiler if you've seen the film)- contains subject matter of death, graphically depicts anxiety/panic attacks and grief, and contains explicit content. The first couple of sections are quite pure- it gets a bit "spicy" in chapter six (vi) but the only explicit content is in chapter seven (vii). You can feel free to skip over that if you'd like :)

Lyra, a member of the Malfoy family and recent Hogwarts graduate, becomes Severus Snape's assistant at school. The intense affair that develops between them is something that she never expected... (17+)

Snape survived but at a cost. Dumbledore had to work a lot of things out including how his owning the three deathly hallows allowed him to conquer death. Although the old man survived and is relatively healthy, Snape isn't the same. The man is more closed off and only lives because he knows Albus needs him to lean on. This is where Athena comes in as a sort of potions apprentice. Snape thinks Albus has lost his mind but in reality Snape needs the help as he struggles both physically and emotionally. JKROWLING owns everything apart from the students as well as Athena and the mentioned friends. I love HP and love all of the professors as well as the photos at the top of each chapter.

Yes, I am quite Happy being alone. My Fifth year at Hogwarts is dreadful. But what can I do? Pretend to Fall in love with a teacher who has an unhealthy eye on me, Like Severus Snape the potions master? That's what I should just do. I'm the only Gryffindor who thinks Harry Potter is a slick git even if we are friends, after him confessing to having a crush on me, then having a boy with bright red hair, follow me around in order to make sure i'm not hit on. Umbridge, is here, I must not tell lies but I do know she is dreadful. I don't remember anything about my parents, or family, whatsoever, I have no clue why, But I don't remember anything until I was Eleven and that's when I came to Hogwarts, with a scar on my wrist that burnt and pierced occasionally. It was the shape of a 'V' . Now, everything changes.. I just need to know how to brew a stopper of love. - All Rights Reserved to the ugly TERF J.K Rowling, along with the story line and characters except for Thalia and other various self-created characters

"Who are you?" He asked me rudely, his eyes assessing me in such a way that made me feel scrutinized. I smirked, eyes meeting his, refusing to cower underneath his gaze. "Wouldn't you like to know.." ******* *Dedicated to the late & great Alan Rickman* *Book 1*

TW: listen, I wrote this when I was 15 years old. I don't remember what's in half of it, nor do I really want to. 😅 It's not well written. It's crude, immature, and above all- a cry for help. The only reason I haven't archived it is because writing this story helped me disassociate for many years. It is what kept me going and while I don't really remember it's contents I do know I poured all of my personal trauma into it depending on my mood which was- well I'm on mood stabilizers now. 😅 Anyway it was the only thing I really had in life for a long time. I guess I'm still weirdly holding onto as a piece of me. Like my own little horcrux. That being said I do remember this can be just outright horrific. TW TW TW TW TW for literally everything. I don't know how else to put it. If you have a major trigger it's more than likely in this series and I didn't know what a trigger warning was so- enjoy. Or don't. Either way. 😅 I'm so sorry.
