At Hogwarts, where danger grows and trust is fragile, Charms professor Margaret Hawthorne finds herself drawn to the one man everyone fears-Severus Snape. Cold and distant, he unsettles her in ways she can't ignore.
As their paths intertwine, Margaret begins to notice strange things-the way he vanishes without explanation, the secrets lurking behind his guarded gaze. When whispers of He Who Must Not Be Named's return begin to spread, she pieces together a horrifying truth.
Snape is a Death Eater.
Shaken, she distances herself, unwilling to be entangled with darkness. But the war is closer than she thinks, and Snape's role in it is far more complex than she ever imagined.

"You don't know what you're talking about," he said, but it felt off-unconvincing.
Margaret stared up at him, her wrists still captured in his grasp. "Then why do you look at me like that?"
He tilted his head, letting go of his grip on her wrists. "Like what?"
"Like you want me," she said simply.

In a story full of tension, wit, and barely-contained desire, one forbidden connection could change everything. 🖤 𝕱𝖔𝖗𝖇𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖊𝖓 𝕿𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖙𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓𝖘 | 𝔖𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔲𝔰 𝔖𝔫𝔞𝔭𝔢 ｘ ℜ𝔢𝔞𝔡𝔢𝔯 🖤 When nineteen-year-old (Y/N) (L/N), a gifted Ilvermorny transfer student, arrives at Hogwarts during Harry Potter's first year, she expects a year of learning-not to find herself intrigued by the one man everyone else fears. 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![[] It Started With Coffee [] Severus Snape x Reader []](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/338524691-256-k414774.jpg)

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!

Venom And Thorn
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.
