Venom And Thorn
Severus Snape x Female Character | First-person POV Ellie never expected Hogwarts to feel like a battlefield. Being hired as the new Alchemy professor was exciting-but arriving during the Triwizard Tournament was never part of the plan. Thrown into a castle already tense with secrets and danger, she's forced to work closely with the one person who seems determined to push her away at every turn: Severus Snape. Cold. Infuriating. Impossible to read. And to ignore. Yet the more time she spends beside the Potions Master, the more she senses something beneath the hostility. Sharp words and colder silences slowly give way to something far more complicated-a fragile trust, an unwanted closeness, and something neither of them is ready to name. As danger unfolds and shadows begin to gather, Ellie finds herself pulled into a story far larger than her classroom, her past... and far more dangerous than her growing connection to Snape. Because Hogwarts is not the only thing hiding secrets this year. And some of them involve her. - Slow burn. Canon-aligned events. - Enemies-to-allies-to-something-more. - For readers who love tension, restraint, and dangerous loyalty.
