I'm really sorry for the Harry Potter phase, which means the stories are connected with Harry Potter. I did mix it up with Marvel, I can't do anything about the phase... -myapplejuice .

I hope you do like it, and yeah. What can I say? I'm a Potterhead. And I just wanted to share this story so badly.. P.S. Scarlett Johansson has a little part in this story.

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

Being a teacher at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is that every day is a new experience.
     You see this school from another perspective than a few years ago. You have spent seven years at this school, in the house of the Snakes. Even though you weren't as cunning as the average Slytherin student, you had something special. You were/are a master in potions, which made you Snape's favorite. That has never happened before, yet it's possible.

You being a teacher at Hogwarts was a new thing for you. Especially the names... You always had to call them Professor. Now you have to call them by their first name, which is strange the first time. You look at the Slytherin table, reliving memories.
     Professor Snape, uh, Severus snapped you out of your daydream. "How was your day from this point of view," he asks monotonously, yet gentle.
Your arrival at Hogwarts once again, brought you and Severus close to each other. He took you 'under his wing' like you were one of his students he had to take care of. You were still his favorite student, and now his favorite colleague.

     After Dolores had left as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Severus happily took her place, which meant a new potion master was needed. Severus had mentioned you to Albus Dumbledore, who agreed to the idea of you being the new potion master of Hogwarts.
"My day? It was great, seeing all these students - struggling with making their potions," you smile, which made Severus smile too. "It is always amusing to see students making potions." "One student really stands out," you say, causing Severus to furrow his brow. "And who might that be?" "Draco Malfoy. He was the first student who was done brewing his potion. Plus, it was correctly brewed," you say while looking at the boy. "Interesting."
"How was your day as a professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts?" you ask curiously. "Interesting, I have learned third years the Riddikulus spell," he says. You smile by a thought, "what are you smiling about, Y/N?" Severus asks narrowing his eyes playfully. "I remembered that moment when we had Remus for that spell. Somebody was wounded by Buckbeak and was bored in his class. We had to copy Remus's words, then he made the comment;' This class is Ridiculous.' It was just so iconic." You saw a smile, playing around his lips.

"May I have all your attention?" Albus begins, the students focused their gaze on the Headmaster. "Before dinner will appear on the tables, I have to make an announcement. Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban until such time as Sirius Black is captured. The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They'll not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way.
Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason, to harm you. It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." Albus looks  - through his half-moon spectacles - at the students with a stern look. With one swing of his wand, dinner appeared on the tables.

After dinner, you went to the teacher's dorm, which was new to you. You almost wanted to walk to the Slytherin dormitory, pure automatically. You went to bed early, falling asleep after half an hour.

     "Y/N?" your mother calls. You can hear that she has been crying. You sped up to the kitchen, "what's wrong, mom?"
It was Halloween, 1981. Your older sister has moved to Godric's Hollow with her husband, James. They had a baby, named Harry. "Your sister died -," your mother tried to say what happened but she burst out in tears. "Is... is Scarlett dead?" you say with tears welling up in your eyes.
"Mom, what happened?" you ask, you need to know. "She died, protecting Harry. The Who-shall-not-be-named wanted to kill the baby, but Scarlett's love - for Harry - renounced the curse. Harry survived, but James and Scarlett gave their life."

"Hmm, maybe you belong in Gryffindor, like your sister. That's someone I would never forget, such a brave heart. However, you are more wicked than I thought. You also have a pretty brain. This is a hard one," the Sorter Head mumbles. "SLYTHERIN!" He shouts, stating his choice. You walk to the Slytherin table, meeting new students of your age.
'Would Scarlett have been proud that I'm a Slytherin?' you think at the end of the day. 'I'm always proud of you, little one,' a voice said. You look around in the dormitory, seeing your sister at your foot's end. 'Am I dreaming?' 'Yes and no. Don't ever forget, I'm always with you.'

In your third year, professor Lupin has learned you the Patronus Charm. Just because you were a hard worker and unafraid of toil. "Expecto Patronum!" A silvery-white guardian burst out of your wand. It was a doe. You smiled like an idiot back then. Scarlett had shown you her Patronus, which was also a doe. You have her Patronus. 'I'm always with you.'

You look around, to see the living room. You spot James. Scarlett is upstairs - in Harry's bedroom - with the baby in her arms. "Scarlett, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" James yelled. The Who-shall-not-named entered the house. James had left his wand on the couch, he had nothing. The curse killed him within a millisecond.
You gasped in fear, running upstairs. You see Scarlett and Harry. "Harry, everyone loves you. Mommy loves you. Daddy loves you," she whispers. The door, she had blocked, broke open. "Step aside, woman," the dark lord said. Scarlett refused. After the third time refusing, he killed your sister. Scarlett is dead.

You jerked awake, covered in sweat. Tears are rolling down your cheeks. You had to get out of here, putting on your hoodie. You went to the common room, where the fireplace is still burning. You stared into the flames, not fully realizing what just happened.

P.O.V. Severus Snape

Late in the night, I went to the teacher's dormitory. I walked into the common room, but something catches my eye. Let's say, someone. Someone is sitting in the chair at the fireplace. I stalked closer to see Y/N, staring into the fire with a blank expression.
     I kneeled in front of you. Y/N was actually surprised to see me. "Y/N, what are you doing here at this hour?" I ask with concern in my tone, which surprised me. I can tell you by the state of the eyes, that Y/N have been crying. "I... I had to leave my room," Y/N was able to say, still shocked about this whole thing.
     "Why did you have to leave the room?" I ask, taking her hands in mine. "I had a nightmare, one of the worst you can get," Y/N says, tears are welling in your eyes. "Do you want to talk about it?" I try. Y/N obviously can see the concern in my eyes.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(The scene I 'wrote' starts at 0.55s)

"My sister died - no - she was murdered. I wasn't there. But in this dream, I was there and it felt so real and I -," Y/N starts to hyperventilate. "I think I'm having a panic attack," she breaths heavily. I see the tears falling down the cheeks. It is awful to look at, I couldn't bear the sight. I had to do something.
"Try to think of something else," I try. "Like what?" Y/N desperately asks. "Think of happy things. Good things. Friends. Family,-" Y/N shot the eyes to my eyes. "Ugh I mean Not family," I cursed myself.
     "Try to slow your breathing," I try. You are still hyperventilating like crazy. "I can't, I can't." I took Y/N's face in hands, "shhh. Y/N, look at me. Look at me,"
I caress the cheeks. Within a second I capture my lips with Y/N's, causing her breathing to slow down. We stay like this for a few seconds. I slowly broke the kiss, making eye contact with the woman I love.
"How... How did you do that?" Y/N asks. "I, uh, I read once that, holding your breath could stop a panic attack. So, when I kissed you, you held your breath," I stammer while explaining. "I did?" Y/N asks with a sad, yet, thankful smile. "You did," I whispered. "Thank you, that's really smart," Y/N smiles a bit.

End P.O.V. Severus Snape

"May I use your wand?" you ask. He nods and gives you his wand. "Expecto Patronum," you whisper, causing the doe bursting out of the top of your wand. You have a sad smile when you Patronus bounces through the room.
"Is that your Patronus?" Severus asks surprised. "Yeah, it's my sisters. I have the same Patronus as her, because she told me that she's always with me."
     He gestures for his wand. "Expecto Patronus," he whispers. The same doe appears in the room. Severus looks at it with a sad expression. "Scarlett? After all this time?" you ask gently, yet a bit surprised. "Always," Severus said.

     "My sister has told a lot about you, you know. We wrote each other when she was in Hogwarts and I was at home," you say after a moment, looking at Severus. His eyes crossed yours. "She did?" he smiles sadly. "You are a good person, Severus," you say while staring into the fire. ''I have done such horrible things, Y/N,'' Severus says.
''I don't judge people on their biggest mistakes,'' you say searching for eye contact. ''You should,'' he said and locked his eyes with you. You see a tear, escaping Severus's eye. You smile sadly, caressing his cheek to wipe the tear away.

"You should go back to sleep, Y/N," Severus says with a sad little smile. "I don't want to go back," you say, afraid to relive this dream. "If you want, you can sleep with me. I'll protect you," he says with a little smile.
     "I would like that," you say. Severus stands up, giving you his hand, which you accept.

You snuggle a little closer to Severus, who pulls you closer. "You look a lot like Scarlett," he says after a moment, "I recognize her movements in you. Her attitudes, her laugh. You remember me of Scarlett."
     "Is that a bad thing?" you ask carefully. "Yes and No, it reminds me that I have lost someone I love and I will not do that again," he says. What is he trying to say? "What are you trying to say, Severus?" you ask.
     "What I'm trying to say is that I'll never let you go. Since you have been at Hogwarts, I kept an eye on you. The older you got, the more interest I got in you. When you came to Hogwarts as a teacher, I swore myself I'm the one who protects you," he says still monotonously, yet still gentle.
"You too sweet for me, Severus," you say, "I'll happy for you if you find the right woman." You couldn't see him that well, but he's smiling. "I have already found the right woman," he says, almost whispering.

"That's good for you, who...-" you couldn't finish your sentence, because someone has captured your lips once again. You melted in the kiss, you felt the butterflies flying around. 'What is this? How did this happened?'
He broke the kiss and you decided to pull a joke. "So, who is this woman?" you giggle a bit. "Sometimes," he sighs playfully.
"Goodnight, Y/N," Severus says and kisses your forehead. "Goodnight. I love you, Severus." With that you closed your eyes, trying to sleep. For the hours you had left... Severus in that case didn't fall asleep.

"I love you too, I always will," he whispers, kisses you on your forehead before falling asleep. You smiled like an idiot and fell asleep.
