severus snape x professor! reader

You were practically jumping on your feet as you walked into the Great Hall, taking a seat next to the one and only, Severus Snape. He eyed you carefully and wondered why were you so happy that morning.

"Morning, Severus!"

You chirped, beaming at him. He gave you a nod and tore his gaze away from you. You were always a walking ray of sunshine in Hogwarts, but the joy that was radiating off from you that morning was too much. Severus sighed and hoped that you were not going to start a conversation with him. It was hard though, because you always found ways to talk to him.

Surprisingly, you did not start a conversation with him that morning.

That was weird, he thought.

"Good morning, Y/N!"

Remus greeted happily, sitting next to you and did not forget to throw a small smile at Snape's direction. Instead of returning his colleague's smile with his own, Severus frowned.

"Did you sleep well?"

The new professor asked, and Severus almost choked on his breakfast when he saw you nodded violently, a chuckle escaped your lips. His heart was aching to know what you did with Lupin last night. Surely, you were just a colleague to him, but he was concerned. Perhaps you were more than just a colleague to him— He just did not want to admit it.

"I did. Thanks to you!"

You laughed, putting a hand on his arm in a friendly manner. Severus was not sure why, but rage was crawling over his chest when he saw Remus grinning at you.

"Now, I couldn't help but overheard your conversation. What did you do?"

Albus came and raised his eyebrows, a playful smirk was dancing on his lips. Severus's grip on his fork tightened until his knuckles turned white without he even realising it.

"Last night I couldn't sleep so Remus took me somewhere. He said it was a secret place in Hogwarts, I didn't even know it exists!"

You told Albus with so much excitement from your voice that Severus swore he could vomit. Well, if he was the cause of your excitement, he would not mind at all but it was Remus's doing— So yes, he might vomit.

"I'm sure Remus knows many hidden places here. He discovered them all during his study years."

Albus agreed, smiling at you and Remus. Remus cocked his eyebrow and could not help but smirk when he saw the gleam in your eyes.

"There are many things you haven't discovered yet."

Remus mumbled, and Severus could not hold back from rolling his eyes dramatically. It pissed him off so much that you were talking to Remus instead of him. You were always talking to him. What happened to make you change?

"Severus, are you alright?"

He tensed when he felt your comforting touch on his shoulder. He turned to look at you and his heart melted at your worry gaze. He was going to nod, but then he saw Remus was looking at him too.

"You look distressed. I mean, more distressed than usual."

Remus pointed out, shrugging his shoulders. Severus wanted to glare at his colleague but then he noticed you still had your eyes on him. You were very worried, he could tell.

Perhaps it was the stoic look on his face that concerned you. Or the way his hands were trembling from anger that he had for Lupin. It was possible that his face was red, trying to restrain himself from choking Lupin to death.

"Are you feeling well?"

You asked, moving your hand from his shoulder to his cheek now. Severus's eyes grew wide but the disapproval look on Remus's face was enough to make Severus cracked a small smile.

Severus Snape had your attention now.

"I'm not feeling well today, Y/N."

He lied, and he could not believe he was lying just to get your attention.

"Oh, Severus... You should rest! You should not be here. How many classes do you have today?"

Worry was laced through your voice and his heart fluttered. Since when did he fight for your attention? Yes, since Remus came and stole you from him.

"Not many. My first class will be in another few hours."

He answered, trying to look as sick as possible if that makes sense. You nodded weakly and chewed on your bottom lip, not knowing how adorable you looked in the Potions Master's eyes.

"You still have time to rest before your first class. Why don't you go back to your room?"

His mind was telling him that you were annoyed and you wanted him out of your way. You wanted him to get out of there so that you could resume your conversation with Remus, perhaps go on a date with him.

However, his heart was telling him that you were genuinely worried of his well-being. You did not like the idea of him not feeling well. You cared for him.

And this time, Severus listened to his heart.

"Yes, you're right. I think I should rest."

He agreed, knowing it made you happy.

"Do you want me to walk you there?"

You asked, looking up at him with so much adoration and he almost fainted at how pure you were under his gaze. Severus was flabbergasted. He never thought you would offer to walk him there.

"My first class is in another... Three hours."

You thought about it, and smiled at Severus. He was silent for a moment and you immediately thought that he wanted to be alone.

"If you don't want me to, then that's fine. It's just you're not feeling well and I want to make sure that—"

"No,no... I would love to have your company."

He managed to get the words out, cursing himself for being nervous around you. He was Severus Snape. He was supposed to be confident, but not around you. You were the only one who managed to break through his walls.

"Alright."

You smiled, and his heart could've jumped out of his chest.

Severus had walked with you many times before. It was impossible not to, you were very friendly with everyone. He was used to walk by your side while you tell him about your day. He would roll his eyes and pretend as if he was not interested, but actually he was invested to listen to your stories everyday.

But that morning was different.

Perhaps the thought of you being with Remus and leaving him all alone was messing with his mind. But yes, he was jealous.

"I'm sorry for asking but do you like Remus?"

He broke the silence, as you walked by his side. You tilted your head a bit and nodded.

"Of course. He's my friend."

You answered casually. Severus cleared his throat and shook his head.

"No, Y/N. Do you have feelings for him?"

He asked, ready to hear that you were in love with Remus. Severus was preparing himself to feel dejected but he was shocked when you just laughed.

"No, Severus! Remus is such a good friend but I have no feelings for him."

You admitted, shaking your head weakly at how absurd it sounded for you to fall in love with Remus.

"Why did you ask?"

Severus stiffened at your question and he stopped dead on his tracks. You also stopped, and frowned when he stared at you.

"Severus?"

You looked up at the man who was much taller than you, trying to solve the confusion that was raging in your head. You raised your eyebrows when you finally realised it.

Severus was jealous.

He hated the fact that you were spending your time with Remus and not him. He thought you had feelings for Remus— It all made sense now.

"Are you jealous, Professor Snape?"

You questioned, crossing your arms against your chest. Severus tried to answer you but there was no words coming out of his mouth. Was he jealous?

His breath hitched when you walked closer towards him, putting your hands on his chest. His heart was hammering against his chest and he wanted to do nothing but to kiss you.

"If you're not jealous, then I guess it's alright for me to go to Remus right now. He must be waiting for me—"

Jealousy took over him completely when he heard his colleague's name coming out of your lips and he kissed you. He was expecting you to pull away and reject him, but you just pulled him closer and kissed him harder.

"Took you long enough to realise your feelings for me."

You muttered against his lips, smirking as he tried to look away from you. You never thought you could make Severus flustered.

"Are you feeling well now?"

You asked, wiggling your eyebrows. Severus finally gained his composure and grinned at you, wrapping his strong arms around your waist. He looked you in the eyes and he swore he would do anything in his power to see you happy.

"Not yet. Perhaps another kiss will do."

"That can be arranged, Professor."

You giggled and kissed him again, your heart was blooming. If you knew this would happen once you make him jealous, you would've done it sooner.

"Do you want to go on a night walk with me today?"

He asked, and you could not help but chuckled.

"Are you afraid that I might run off with Remus or something?"

Severus rolled his eyes but slowly, he nodded.

"Don't worry, Severus. I'll walk by your side forever. You're stuck with me now."
