Severed Ties || Severus Snape

Emma Moore, professor in Healing at Hogwarts, has to suppress her feelings for her old best friend and now colleague Severus Snape, who she hasn't seen in ten years, while figuring out who killed her aunt.

---------------------------------------------

Emma Moore had a good life, objectively speaking. She worked her dream-job as a Healer at St Mungo's Hospital, and had a boyfriend, Jordan, who loved her and worked at the hospital with her. But somehow, she was still not happy. She still missed the people she left behind ten years earlier. One person, in particular.

But when Jordan cheats on her with another colleague, someone she considered a friend, Emma finds herself gathering her things and leaving her whole life behind her. In a spur of the moment decision, she applies for a job at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To her great delight, she's hired as a professor in Healing.

Arriving at the school, she finds out that her old best friend, Severus Snape, also works there; the boy she was hopelessly in love with during the seven years they went to school together, the man she could never really get over in the ten years since she'd last seen him. Now too late to terminate her new job, she has to make the best of it.

And then her aunt gets killed while on one of her auror missions and all the evidence seems to point to Severus. How well does she still know the boy she used to know like the back of her hand? How much can she still trust him?

This story is set during Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts.
