21 parts Ongoing MatureIn the shadowed dungeons of Hogwarts, where potions simmer and secrets brew, you find yourself drawn to the most unlikely of mentors: Severus Snape, the cold-hearted Potions Master. As you train to become his apprentice, you uncover layers of the man behind the sneer-his guarded vulnerability, his quiet strength, and the flicker of something deeper in his obsidian gaze. Likewise, he begins to care for you more than he ever has for anyone, noticing a spark in you that has been missing from his life for so long.
But as your bond grows, so does the danger. One of your closest friends, entangled in their own reckless pursuits, meddle in dark and dangerous business, pulling you into a web of chaos. Torn between keeping their scandals a secret and the fragile connection you've forged with Snape, you must navigate a world of shadows, where every glance and whispered word could ignite a spark-or burn everything to ash.
As the potion dragged me under, I heard him linger, his whisper trailing into the dark.
"What am I to do with you...You silly girl."
