When the Circle Burns is a moody, gothic tale of forbidden magic, hidden identities, and magnetic connection. Set within the stone walls of Hogwarts during a strange resurgence of ancient magic, the story follows Elara Thorne-a sharp, enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts professor hiding behind an elegant charm that conceals her true face and a bloodline she dares not reveal. Her presence is unsettling, her power undeniable, and her secrets run dangerously deep.

Opposite her stands Severus Snape, a man defined by control, silence, and shadow. But Elara's arrival unsettles something in him-a quiet storm of obsession and fascination that only grows as their fates become entangled. When the ancient runic Circle in the forest begins to respond to their proximity, their touch, and eventually their intimacy, it becomes clear that something larger than either of them is at work.

As the Circle's demands increase, so does the tension between them-fueling confrontations, vulnerability, and an electric desire that neither can fully explain or resist. What begins as a reluctant collaboration spirals into a hauntingly beautiful unraveling of emotion, past traumas, and undeniable attraction.

With the fate of the magic itself hanging in the balance, Elara and Severus must decide if they are willing to face the truth-about themselves, each other, and the ancient force binding them together. When the Circle Burns is a story of masks falling, fire rising, and the impossible choice between self-preservation and surrendering to something extraordinary.

The only character I own is Elara Thorne, the rest is simply from Harry Potter! This is a fan fiction
