The note read simply "My Office. Immediately after dinner." On Monday Professor Snape saved me from falling off a moving staircase. Sparks shot out of our hands where our skin made contact as he pulled me to safety. Over the course of the week I have become obsessed, and uncontrollably aroused thinking of him constantly. I feel his eyes on me. I catch him looking at me. Nothing brings relief from the arousing day dreams churning through my mind since Monday. I fear I've gone completely mad. It's Friday and now I have this note. I know who it's from.

This is a reader/Severus Snape story but it's formatted differently.  It's written in first person, and I don't use name inserts to keep the reader more immersed.

This is romantic mystery that begins before Harry comes to Hogwarts then eventually a time skip to the war and Headmaster Snape.

All the characters and locations belong to J.K. Rowling. (I do not support or condone her. ) obviously a student teacher relationship is never okay this is a piece of fiction not intended for minors.

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.

This book is now available through Amazon and kindle! I would greatly appreciate it if you were to purchase one from there, but you're more than welcome to read it here. It's under my pen name Robin Ray on Amazon. I reposted it here for everyone to read, but I think it's also nice to read in paper book form. I'm a little excited about it. I really felt inspired to write it, and I like to imagine that Alan Rickman helped guide me along the way. When I read it, it makes me feel less lonely, and the characters feel like real friends to me. I hope you also find something meaningful in my book. Enjoy. The devastating loss of his dear Lily had calloused him to the point of having very few of the gentler emotions. He had lost Lily to their arrogant classmate, James Potter, which utterly devastated him, only to find what utter devastation really meant when he lost her again, and finally, to death. He put those memories aside for now...he had relived them a lifetime's worth in his mind over the years. He turned his thoughts back to the present, and the woman who was presently in the very next room. He relented slightly as he felt a familiarity pass over him, and he groaned lightly, feeling as if this wound had been touched at its deepest core, then had been set to healing, and he drifted off into an exhausted sleep before he could put a finger on the source of the warm familiarity he had felt, and the magic that would not show itself until the proper time.

Professor Severus Snape Romance (mature) and Hogwarts adventure. What if JK Rowling's story of a School of witches and wizards was her first hand account from her own experience in the Ether Realm? Now it's my turn to take my place in that realm... which is one of many different realms accessible through the Threshold. I was chosen for a reason... one of the relatively few to be selected to cross into the Hogwarts Realm. I could live a whole life there, and then return as if nothing happened, at least it would seem to those in my reality. The challenge??? If it's real, then my mission isn't one to be taken lightly, as there are only a limited number of Occasions, and they are real to the Etherworlders... as real as our own reality. How can I let them down knowing that? How can I let 'him' down? He would only have so many chances at a happy ending... and I am bound and determined to be the one who makes that happen. Or maybe I'm just an optimist. What if Professor Snape doesn't even notice me? That doesn't matter. I will still try to save his life. Even if it breaks my heart. This is just a fun take on a fantasy. I haven't actually fantasized this, yet, so I'm just writing it as I do so:). There may even be a 'guest star', but I don't want to give it away too soon:). I do not own the rights to Harry Potter and its characters. JK Rowling is not a true part of this story, and I include her as a character of this fantasy world. Alan Rickman as well. Although I do appreciate each of these people tremendously. I'm not sure of the direction of this story, but I will warn you that it will probably have some smut. I've written a couple HP fan fics that are more in a novel format, so check those out if you are looking for a longer novel type story.

The war is over, but what's this... Snape's Alive. And teaching potions again?! *gasp* Neville ans Seamus got paired up in potions... 😑 Not only was it wrong, but it exploded to. On Snape! He got a little younger and has to take a potion that will slowly help him regain his age until he can't take it anymore for safety reasons. Harry has been tasked with watching the Professor because... Plot? Anyways, they share a connection some how (plot?) And don't understand what is drawing them together (Snarry shippers?) Anyways. That's the basis. Read on my friend! Read on! WARNING!!! CONTAINS TRIGGERING CONTENT!!! CONTAINS SMUTTY MATURE CONTENT!!! CONTAINS GAY!!! 💕 ALL CONTENTS ARE GRAPHIC, AS PER USUAL WITH ME. HAVE FUN! ^^ I own pretty much none of these characters. There is a teacher, she's not a character per sey. I'll explain her on the final part when I do my "fun facts" ending. However, just give all character rights to J.K. Rowling. Cept for Alex + family and the teacher. They're add in's. She's a reference to a very real person who did the same thing for me in regards to being there. She was my 6th grade teacher and was the very first person I ever met who made me feel like I could do something. That I wasn't just some useless freak. Sadly, the summer after my 6th grade year, she died in a car accident near my house. I will never forget her and still cheerish her memory to this day. (I do all my own art. If you're interested in writing a story, but need title art or feel like a scene you're writing needs an image, message me and we can talk)
The Ghosts of Our Past  by MeaghanDinn2

Severus Snape x fem Harry (Hally) Potter He burns for her for all the wrong reasons, she obsesses and aches for him for all the right ones. Will this be their love story or have the ghosts from their pasts doomed them from the start ? Hally Potter has spent her whole life alone. The pain and trauma the Dursley's have inflicted upon her make her feel like she'll never get out from underneath them. Until her eleventh birthday that is. She receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns of her heritage along with what really happened to her parents. She meets a lot of interesting people along the way whom she grows to love, including a certain brooding potions professor. Severus Snape was not well liked amongst his fellow professors and the students he taught potions to. His only reprieve was the knowledge that one day Lily's daughter would return to his world and he would be able to keep a close eye on her because he intended to right his wrongs with his one true love. Or so he thought. He immediately hated the girl with a passion and decided quite quickly that he would keep his distance and only interfere if her life was in imminent danger. As the years go on that task tends to prove more difficult than he originally thought because of one thing he hadn't foreseen. She has her mothers eyes. *Slowburn dark romance- large age gap, underage, eventual smut * Years 1-7 but mostly The Goblet of Fire-Deathly Hallows pt 2 I do not own any of the characters. They all belong to J.K.Rowling *please do not copy and post my book elsewhere*
