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.

Kiss me and I'm yours - A Severus Snape story
Severus Snape: Most students hate him. He is not liked by lots of people. People refer to him as a bully.

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.

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
Punish me, Professor, I dare you.

"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.
