Bottled Heartstrings: A Snake and Badger Story

In an alternate universe where Severus Snape lives and is vindicated of his actions, and returns as Hogwarts potions master, romance will attempt to bloom. Among the new teachers that were hired, the charms position is taken up by a former Hufflepuff student. She worked at Ilvermorny, school of witchcraft and wizardry, for eight years after graduating from Hogwarts and upon hearing of the opening, jumped at the chance to teach at her old school. Her name is Davina Starrling, she is younger than Severus, him being 39 and her 30. The two entirely missed each other, Severus attending school before her, but perhaps their inevitable meeting now will bring about some magic and heal old wounds. (I am by no means a literary genius, and my grammar can be sucky, but I hope you enjoy this anyways!)
