Severus Snape x Reader

Arriving at Hogwarts was quite uneventful much like previous years, it was bustling with students and teachers alike. A wonderful reprieve from the deafening silence of her home life.

She met up with her head of house, Professor Snape , received her timetable and began unpacking. The dorm was rather close to Snapes chambers not that she minded. She had a room to herself, enjoying the privacy and piece of mind.

Author POV

She awoke in the early hours of the morning, freshened up and began getting ready for the first day of class. She arrived roughly half an hour later , sat down next to her friends and enjoyed the breakfast spread out in front of her. Today was one of those days where she woke up in a foul mood, taking a quick scan of the dining hall her eyes found the teachers table and she saw Professor Snape in all his glory - looking at her . He quickly and smoothly averted his gaze and went back to eating.

Her classes went by relatively quickly except for Potions , she has had a crush on Professor Snape since last year and it just kept getting worse. She had learned ( tried ) to keep him out of her thoughts while in his presence , the very idea of him every finding out about it mortified her.

Once in Potions , she was captivated by his presence, his eloquent way of speaking, his passion for what he taught in class and distance for those not paying attention. Today they were engaged in a bit of theory to get reacquainted with the subject, she was deep in thought when his voice rang out " Miss (Y/L/N) !" She looked up , startled to see him staring at her . She looked around and discovered that everyone else was gone.

She still hadn't answered him so he came over to touch her arm when she noticed his presence and flinched away from his touch. Something in her face must have given away her fright because he immediately pulled his hand back and looked shocked by her reaction. As soon as it was there it was gone again and he asked " Aren't you going to leave , the bell rang about 5 minutes ago ?"

" Really ? Thank you professor , I'll be on my way then ."

She got up and went to leave but before she could he asked , "Are you alright Miss (Y/L/N)?"

She turned around smiled and said "Yes professor ." She was surprised to hear him ask if she were okay . However, she disregarded it and left.

The next day

At her free period the next day she got a letter from her father, and went stiff . She was afraid of him and liked being at Hogwarts because he never wrote to her. She dropped her guard and read the letter , it didn't say much just that he was going to come see her soon . She panicked momentarily recounting all the terrible instances of abuse and looked around desperately for an escape.

Her eyes met Snapes and she saw a look of horror on his face. He must have read her mind and saw what she was thinking about. Of course she did the only sensible thing and immediately ran to the bathroom overwhelmed with the urge to throw up , which she did.

The day flew by and the next thing she knew Potions was over , she rushed to gather her things and leave when she heard "Miss (Y/L/N), " she immediately knew that the smooth and velvety nature of the voice it was Professor Snape,

" please stay behind ."
