Forget Me Not (Severus Snape x OC)

Shortly after Theda Desmond replaces Professor Binns as Hogwarts' new History of Magic teacher, she learns that she possesses a rare talent known only to the legendary Altier family, former founders of the French Ministry of Magic who mysteriously went missing 200 years ago. As she works to uncover the secrets of her curious origins, she develops an unlikely bond with the brooding Potions master, Severus Snape. As their friendship grows, the two begin to recognize that they share a common pain that few have experienced. Will their unique ability to understand each other set them on a course toward healing and new beginnings, or will the ghosts of the past return to tear them apart?

While the nature of this story wanes between humorous and romantic, it is also, in many ways, a story about the non-linear nature of grief. I hope you enjoy it.

TW: This story will occasionally make brief references to issues such as body image, death, abuse, etc. but I try to do so in a way that is approachable for everyone.
