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.All Rights Reserved

Lost & Found| S Snape X Reader by BellaJGallegos

Cover by @Khloeshades ⚠️ Mature Content | Heavy Themes | Reader Discretion Advised ⚠️ Seventh year at Hogwarts was supposed to be about N.E.W.T.s, house rivalries, and preparing for life beyond the castle walls. But for Y/N, it was survival. Always the quiet one, she slipped through the cracks-haunted by depression, consumed by loss, and left feeling helpless in a world that never truly saw her. That is until Professor Severus Snape did. Stoic. Feared. Unapproachable. He was the last person Y/N expected to understand her pain-let alone care. But sometimes, the most broken souls recognize each other in silence. This story explores Y/N's journey through darkness, and the unexpected connection that changed everything. It's fast-paced, emotionally intense, and doesn't always play by the Wizarding World's rules. ⚠️ Content Warning: This fanfiction contains mature and explicit content, including graphic sexual themes (BDSM, choking, etc.), self-harm, drug abuse, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, and death. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Y/N is 18+ in this story. Voldemort does not exist in this timeline, and there are no Death Eaters.

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.

A Light in the Dark (Severus Snape x OC) by LegendArcadia

A new professor arrives at Hogwarts and Severus Snape could not be more annoyed that Defense Against the Dark Arts was given to someone new, but what irritated him more than anything, was that she was young. After being forced to bond with the new professor, Severus finds himself developing feelings he never thought he would have for someone again. As time progresses, he starts to realize that this new professor is not what she seems. *Will have adult content later in the chapters. *Plot doesn't follow completely with the original Harry Potter series. *All original characters from Harry Potter belong to JK Rowling. *I only own my original characters.

[] It Started With Coffee [] Severus Snape x Reader [] by iiYoshi

Love is difficult to explain as one likes to say. But (Y/n)(L/n) falling for her professor, Severus Snape? That was hard to believe. The girl always despised Potions and her professor as well. He was cranky, annoying, and never really liked any house besides Slytherin. However, with her N.E.W.T.s coming up, she had to ask someone to tutor her for help. Her friends were all busy focusing on themselves and couldn't help at all. So, finally, though she didn't want to, she asked Snape. Through countless tutor sessions and a few cups of coffee, the two became closer and closer.. Who would've imagined.. that the professor had more to him? Who would've imagined.. that the Potions Master could one day fall in love, and that being with his student, (Y/n)? A tale of two, in which their endings all started with coffee. ----- A/N : No smut, but does include dirty jokes and cussing, if uncomfortable please leave!

Unexpected Fate (Severus Snape x Reader) by GreenBadgerx

Slow Burn Fanfiction | Rated 18+ Severus Snape x Reader (Professor) You're not just starting a job at Hogwarts - you're stepping into a place alive with secrets, shadows, and the kind of magic that lingers long after the spells have faded. The ancient castle holds mysteries you've always longed to unravel... but the greatest enigma isn't hidden in its halls. It's standing right in front of you: Professor Severus Snape. From the moment your eyes meet, the tension is undeniable. Snape is colder, sharper, more unreadable than ever. His gaze unsettles you, his words sting - and yet, something in you stirs. Something you don't want to name. What begins as barbed exchanges and veiled glances soon unravels into something far more dangerous. A slow-burning connection. Irresistible. Unspoken. And in a place where nothing is ever what it seems, you might just lose more than your heart.

Snape imagines | 1 by inkstainedopus

(THIS IS COMPLETED, NEW IMAGINES CAN BE FOUND ON MY PROFILE) hi! i don't see many snape fan fics so i decided to write one. This'll just be a collection of imagines, not a whole story. Bare with me on this, the first few chapters aren't great but they get a little better as you go on :) I also have a second separate book with even more Snape imagines if you're interested, the writing is a lot better on that one, and there are much longer chapters

Severus Snape x Reader Story by FanFictionsUnite

Severus Snape: one of the most despised Hogwarts Teachers; the Head of Slytherin House and The Potions Master. Rude, snarky, and generally cold-hearted, it's not a wonder why people don't like him. At least, that's what everyone says. Except perhaps you. ............................. Hey guys! Harry Potter (the entire series and movies and any other publication of any kind) doesn't belong to me. The picture on the cover doesn't belong to me either. I just write fanfictions. This is my first time going public and writing to an audience. I will attempt to write at a continuous rate, because like you, I like a good story and cannot wait for the next chapter. I will be waiting for a good amount of comments/votes/anything really to continue. And I promise: I will finish this one. Best of luck.

Severus Snape Phoenix Freed by cptkat1x

Summary: Severus Snape found some of his duties as a Death Eater particularly distasteful. Rounding up a band of rebel students trying to avoid the changing of the guard at Hogwarts wasn't nearly the worst thing he'd done, and it was possibly even the best. He is tempted to save one of his former students from an unfortunate fate as the group of students are captured by the band of Death Eaters, led by Severus. He isn't sure what game she is playing at, but he is compelled to find out. Author's note: It is my second time writing something since school, and if you enjoyed my first fan fiction, Severus Snape A Soul Undiminished, I hope you will enjoy this one as well. I will forego my standard warning for the steamy chapters and just include it here, as this story may have unplanned "steaminess" throughout that may be more adult in nature. Stylized of course, as it seems that is my nature of writing. I would like to thank Alan Rickman, as his wonderful talent and persona is at heart my inspiration for this story. I would also like to thank the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, for providing us such an intriguing world for which to escape to, and even make our own stories in. The premise of Harry Potter belongs to her, along with the characters she created, and I can only claim any of my own original storylines and characters in this fan fiction. Also, if you enjoy a chapter I've written, please vote. It makes me happy:).

Punish me, Professor, I dare you. by MadameStephanie

"I'll show you what it's like when I'm truly mad at a student then." 𝘞𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵, 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴. "Try me." I whisper to him with a daring look. Reader is a student at Hogwarts, and a super rebel with Snape. She gives him hell in every way she can to break his stern behavior, she teases him until he can't take it anymore, and makes him break out of his character, all the while leaving no open spots for Snape to discipline her. However, soon enough Snape will realize that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar... The reader has a secret power she keeps under a veil, even from Snape, but a certain attack leaves the both of them vulnerable which triggers a whole new set of changes. This fic is a Power Struggle, rebellion mixed with spicy romance and lots of steamy scenarios.

What happens when she finally dares to kiss him and what happens when she suddenly gets captured by the Death Eaters.

The Healer's Touch (Severus Snape x Remus Lupin x Reader) by GreenBadgerx

Technically, I'm a Healer. Emotionally? I'm a disaster with a talent for falling for the worst possible men in the worst possible castle. There's the devastatingly decent DADA professor (Lupin). And the morally complex Potions Master (Snape) who may or may not be able to set people on fire with a look. Naturally, I'm caught between them. Professionally, romantically, catastrophically. And while I'm very busy pretending I have things under control, Hogwarts starts... acting weird. Let's just say the school has seen some things. And now it wants payback. Yes, there's magic. Yes, there's sex. Yes, at some point I might scream at a wall. Your job? Survive the drama with me. Then choose the man I fall for. (But please be kind. I'm very tired.) - ✨ Slow-burn love triangle 🖤 FSK 18 - explicit content, dry humor, psychological tension ⚠️ Emotional misfires, questionable choices, and a spiral that's absolutely not under control Swipe in. I'll be in the infirmary. Again.

Teach me (Book 1) by Danaxmalfoy

Luckily, professor Snape knows about the attack and comes up with a plan to save you. What will your life be like if you have to go into hiding in professor Snape's chambers?

However, it turned into something more and now even has a sequel :) When I'm finished with Teacher's pet, I'm going to rewrite the beginning of this book.⚠️ ***** This story is 18+ (smut, TW: degrading, spanking, choking... that kinda shit) This story does not follow the plot of the books The characters in this book are all of age.

Kiss me and I'm yours - A Severus Snape story by SeverusSnapeFan2002

Severus Snape: Most students hate him. He is not liked by lots of people. People refer to him as a bully. People describe him as mean, cruel, ugly, cold, bitter and sarcastic but do they know the real him? One thing that no one can deny is that he is a very powerful wizard with a very intelligent and strong mind. One day a new professor enters the castle and changes his life completely. He does not know what to do. Follow his mind or his heart. He needs to decide at some point because The Dark Lord will return and when he does, Severus must decide again, which side he chooses. Will he choose her? My story starts in "The Goblet of Fire" and I plan to write through "The Deathly Hallows". I hope you enjoy my story and have fun reading it. I would be happy if you'd let me know if you like the story or what I could do better :)

Severus Snape is cold, cruel, and impossible to impress. Unfortunately, he's also magnetic, unreadable, and far too observant. Their connection begins in the shadows-shared silence in the library, a note slipped between pages, a duel that ends with her on the floor and his voice in her ear. What follows is tension thick enough to cut with a wand, private lessons that blur too many lines, and a dangerous kind of mentorship that feels like unraveling. She wanted someone who could read between the lines. And he was the one who truly understood them. ✨ Expect: - Stolen glances and sharp retorts - Potions, power, and private lessons - A slow descent into something forbidden - Sexual tension, emotional intimacy, and a hell of a lot of restraint 📖 Third-Person POV | Set during Philosopher's Stone 🖤 Professor x Student • age gap 🎭 Witty banter • Deep wounds ⚗️ Dark Academia meets emotional intimacy

Threshold - Severus Snape by cptkat1x

I'm doing a little rewrite of this story. As much as I enjoy this story, some parts didn't sit well with me as originally written, so I'm doing some changes. I apologize for any inconsistencies in the interim. Enjoy. 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.
