Tess Vexmoor has always lived in the shadows - a seventh-year transfer student with a haunted past and a dangerous secret: she's an unregistered Animagus with a rare, wild form - a panther. Reserved, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Tess expects her final year at Hogwarts to be just another survival act. What she doesn't expect is Professor Severus Snape.
Snape, Hogwarts' feared Potions Master, prides himself on discipline, control, and keeping his distance. But when a wounded panther collapses in the Forbidden Forest and shifts into a bleeding girl, Snape finds himself guarding a secret that threatens not only Tess's future but his own carefully constructed walls.
As suspicion builds and Hogwarts grows wary of the girl with yellow eyes, a forbidden bond forms between teacher and student - forged in shared silences, sharp glances, and stolen moments. Together, they navigate the thin line between protection and desire, identity and expectation, all while Tess fights to reclaim her freedom and Snape grapples with feelings he's spent a lifetime denying.
With graduation looming, reputations at stake, and a love neither dares to name, A Panther's Silence is a moody, slow-burn romance where trust is earned, scars are shared, and two broken souls find quiet salvation in each other.
This is a Snape x Oc FANFICTION- the only character I own is Tess Vexmoor!!

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

He's longing for a sense of peace, a moment of quiet. But once he finds it, his whole world shifts. He never thought he'd end up entangled with a Hufflepuff but there was a sort of peace in knowing that the "spider girl" also knew the stinging of jeers and the raw vulnerability of being an outcast. In her company, he finds his walls breaking down and the more he follows the threads of her oddities, the more he's incased in her web.

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.

[] 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!
