Severus Snape has never been known for his patience, kindness, or ability to tolerate people. So when a new professor arrives at Hogwarts and refuses to be intimidated by him, he immediately decides she is insufferable. Y/N thinks he’s arrogant. Snape thinks she’s irritating. Their arguments become routine, their encounters increasingly frequent, and neither can explain why they keep finding themselves in the same rooms long after everyone else has gone. But somewhere between sharp remarks, midnight tea, shared books, and moments of unexpected vulnerability, irritation begins to become something far more dangerous. Neither of them intends to fall in love. Especially not with each other.
