READER'S NOTE: If you are looking for high heat (smut) and an all-consuming, intense romance, give this story a chance. Trust the process-the tension builds up in the beginning, so the second half can absolutely explode.
--------
At twenty-five, Annie thought her life was ordinary. Until a man in black arrived with a revelation that shattered her reality.
She isn't just a late-blooming witch; she is a vessel for a raw, untamed power that threatens to consume her. Whisked away to Hogwarts for her own protection, she is placed under the strict supervision of Severus Snape.
He is cold, precise, and dangerous. He is tasked with teaching her control, but as they spend long nights in the solitude of the dungeons, the professional distance begins to blur. The tension between them is thick, electric, and inevitable.
But Annie's past is darker than she knows, and the enemy hunting her shares a history with the man trying to save her. In a war for her soul, love might be the most dangerous magic of all.

THE VIBE: This is an emotional, intense journey. Expect a faster-paced slow burn that eventually ignites into an inferno.
WARNING: This story is rated MATURE. It contains strong language, dark themes, and explicit sexual content (smut).
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The Muse: This story is inspired by the Wizarding World, but with my own twists (no Voldemort, different timeline). My version of Severus Snape is heavily based on the charismatic, deep-voiced film portrayal (Alan Rickman) rather than the book description.
The Character: This is written with an original character, not as an "xReader" or "Y/N" fic. However, I truly believe the emotions are raw enough for you to slip into her shoes and imagine yourself in the dungeons... ;)
I pour my heart into this story. If you enjoy the ride, please leave a VOTE or a COMMENT! Enjoy!
