Zarinari
Heather Winters never expected to teach at Hogwarts.
An American witch expelled from Ilvermorny and widowed five months ago, she's brought in to teach wandless magic-a discipline most British wizards dismiss as impossible. Between skeptical colleagues, curious students, and her own grief, she's braced for a difficult year.
She isn't prepared for Severus Snape.
When a classroom demonstration goes wrong, their magic tangles into a rare dream-bond-forcing them to share memories, emotions, and the brutal honesty they'd never risk while awake. What begins as open rivalry becomes something far more dangerous: understanding.
But as Sirius Black stalks the grounds and Dementors close in, trust is a luxury neither can afford.
