Four Kingdoms - Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
The Kingdom of Gryffindor rejoices when Crown Prince James of Gryffindor marries Princess Lily of the Kingdom of Ravenclaw. However, there are prophecies afoot, and after Lily dies in childbirth, an evil wizard makes a claim for their only child, Harry. Determined to keep his son safe, James gives his life willingly, and his parents, King Albus and Queen Minerva, resolve to fulfill Lily's dying wish: That Harry marry her childhood friend, Crown Prince Severus, of the Kingdom of Slytherin, to ensure that he is both loved and protected when others cannot do so anymore.
Severus Snape had long buried the memories of his first and only best friend,
Y/n. As teenagers, they had shared a bond that made life's darkness seem brighter, but their story was cut short when Y/n abruptly moved away, vanishing from his life without so much as a goodbye. The pain of her sudden absence shaped the man Severus would become: guarded, bitter, and solitary.
Years later, Severus has settled into his role as the stern Potions Master at Hogwarts, convinced that love and second chances are luxuries he cannot afford. But when he encounters a familiar face roaming the castle halls, his carefully constructed world is turned upside down.
Y/n is back-seeking the position of Potions Assistant-and with her return comes a flood of unanswered questions and emotions Severus thought he had buried forever. As they navigate their shared past and the complexities of their present, old wounds resurface, and a spark that once burned bright threatens to reignite.
I want to say that this story is not a chronic order, the timeline is mixed up but characters are by J.K. Rowling
