I Am Your Teacher (Severus Snape X Reader)
#1 Severussnape March 17th 2019 #1 HarryPotter January 5th 2020 "Because what I want to do is wrong... and I don't trust myself enough to be seen with you in the public eye." His voice dropped to a whisper as he took a step away from me. I smiled, glad that he was feeling the exact same way as me, but hurt that he didn't want to explore what was between us. I let my smile falter as I walked passed him, purposely letting my hand graze his as I did. I took a seat on the couch and he followed, sitting beside me. "I'm eighteen." I looked at my Professor, trying to convince myself to keep eye contact. It's funny how out of a school setting he doesn't look like he could be my teacher. He simply looks like any other person... my age. Except for the fact that he is incredibly gorgeous, that definitely stands out. "You're..." He held his sentence for much longer than he normally does. He seemed to use this time to examine me, which I was beginning to get used to now. "Eighteen." With his voice speaking my age, I saw a flicker a mischief flash through his eyes. He licked his lips, as he looked down at his lap, a low chuckled coming from him. "It's gonna be hard to stay away from you." The new Potion's teacher is only 21 years old... he has a reputation around the school of being cold, heartless and a bit hard to handle. But what happens when he becomes abnormally close with one of his students? What will the professors say? Will he lose his job? Read to find out!! And get involved in this hopelessly romantic Hogwarts world! THERE ARE THREE ENDINGS TO THIS STORY. AT TWO POINTS DURING THIS STORY, THERE WILL BE DIRECTIONS TELLING YOU WHAT CHAPTERS TO SKIP TO IF YOU WISH TO READ A DIFFERENT ENDING. Have fun reading my dudes! I do not own any of these characters. Or anything to do with Harry Potter at all. This is just a fun Romance story! RIP: Alan Rickman. You were loved by many 💚🖤Complete
