"Hello, my name is Kathryn Quinn, and I am going mad." Despite the efforts to stop it, there is a dark birth right inside of Kathryn Quinn that is taking over. Will she be able to fight the darkness that threatens to claim her? This is a Severus Snape x OC fanfiction. It takes place during The Half Blood Prince.

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.

Severus begins to recieve letter from a depressed student. Who she is, he does not know. Does he write back to her, and saves her life? Or does he resort to shunning every one out of his life?

Disguising as a student, she eventually meets the dreaded, hot-tempered, Potions Master. Despite their differences, the two broken individuals find each other. However, can an eternal flame ever be extinguished, and an icy past ever be thawed? **Dedicated to the late & great Alan Rickman**

"Venus, are you alright?" He asked softly, searching my face. I smiled, his eyes hypnotizing me with one look. "Never better." ***Dedicated to the late and great Alan Rickman*** *Book 2*

[post-war] [SSxOC] Severus Snape survived the war but the venom from Nagini reacted with his blood to form a poison that is slowly killing him. Helena Stephens is a nurse and skilled potion maker, only she can save Severus. What happens when Severus accepts the young witch's help?

Let me start with: After the war, no one wants to deal with any more trouble. But I guess not even peace may go in your favor. See, I'm Scarlet Carter, nice to meet you, and resuming my 5th year Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft & Wizardry after the 1998 Battle of Hogwarts like nothing happened. You think living a normal and too-good-to-be-true life so far, I'd keep my luck up until I eventually die. But apparently, I'm the last piece of another war. And they're trying to hunt me down... Plus, I'm starting to have this strange 'romantic' feeling. Is this normal? Towards a specific wizard you've been with ever since you were little? With the hard trials of each year, it starts to come around when I need a bit of help... yet from who? And with my family's old powers haunting me? This school year is gonna be a hell of a ride.

She looked at the empty seat Snape had been sitting in and repressed a sigh. Meg had heard a lot about Professor Snape. His reputation was well known; cold, calculating, aloof. They certainly fitted the man well. Meg was glad that he hadn't been there when she had. If he had any idea about what lay in her past, she knew he'd have the upper hand over her. At least this way, they started off evenly. Meg decided to keep well out of his way as much as possible; if that was possible at all.. _____________________________ This story is written by Starlight8 on Fanfiction.net, not by me.

Severus Snape: one of the most despised Hogwarts Teachers; the Head of Slytherin House and The Potions Master. Rude, snarky, and generally cold-hearted, it's not a wonder why people don't like him. At least, that's what everyone says. Except perhaps you. ............................. Hey guys! Harry Potter (the entire series and movies and any other publication of any kind) doesn't belong to me. The picture on the cover doesn't belong to me either. I just write fanfictions. This is my first time going public and writing to an audience. I will attempt to write at a continuous rate, because like you, I like a good story and cannot wait for the next chapter. I will be waiting for a good amount of comments/votes/anything really to continue. And I promise: I will finish this one. Best of luck.
