Following the fall of Voldemort, Severus Snape is given amnesty by court and takes up position as the Potions Master at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as part as his sentence to "give back to the community" and "rehabilitate". However, when his application for the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is rejected yet again, he knows his life is going to be more miserable than it presently is. Especially since this new professor is everything he is not.
But whilst drama is firing off between the teachers in the staff room corridors of Hogwarts, intrigue and evil slithers into the safe and stable environment of the castle, sending all eyes flicking towards one another in question until many come to one conclusion:
Who could be to blame but the ex-Death Eater, the silent and moody Potion's Master?
But the new DADA professor, Irene Twill, is not convinced. She has glimpsed slivers of repressed feeling behind the firm and placid mask of the accused man and discovered raw and beating behind the Potion's Master's stone facade, and does not intend to lose it.
A clean Severus Snape fanfiction, set in the Harry Potter universe. Get ready for a slow burn...

[] It Started With Coffee [] Severus Snape x Reader []
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!

Snape x OC - Of Beasts, Serpents, and Hallows
"Next time, you'll learn to break through mental barriers, Miss Grindelwald." "Next time?" she asked, eyebrow raised. "What makes you think there will be a next time? Maybe I'll stop earning detentions." "Oh please-the school year has barely started, and I've seen more of you than all the other dunderheads combined." He groaned. "Only because you want to see me, Professor." She winked, brushing past him through the door he opened. He rolled his eyes-yet the warmth that spread through his chest stayed long after she was gone.

You Will Forever Be My Always ~ Severus X y/n
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 ⚠️there is mention of abuse⚠️Complete
