His wife. 🐍 [SEVERUS SNAPE.] · Y/n story by @xapp1ecakex

The Great Hall of Hogwarts was buzzing with the usual start-of-term chatter, the enchanted ceiling reflecting a clear, starry September night. The long house tables were packed with students in their black robes, the air thick with the smell of roast beef and pumpkin juice.

Albus Dumbledore

Welcome, welcome! To another year at Hogwarts. Before we succumb to our excellent feast, a spot of news.

His twinkling blue eyes scanned the hall. Beside him, Severus Snape sat perfectly still, his black eyes fixed on the table, his expression unreadable. A few seats down, Dolores Umbridge in her fluffy pink cardigan smiled a small, tight smile.

Albus Dumbledore

We have a new addition to our staff this year. Please give a warm welcome to our new Professor of Magical Theory.

All eyes turned to the large oak doors at the back of the hall. They swung open silently.

Albus Dumbledore

May I introduce Professor Y/n Snape.

The name landed like a thunderclap. The whispers erupted into a chorus of gasps and exclamations. Heads swiveled between you and the Potions Master, who had not moved a muscle.

Minerva McGonagall

leaning toward Pomona Sprout, behind her hand I told you it would cause a stir.

Albus Dumbledore

Professor Snape will be joining her husband on our staff. I trust you will all extend every courtesy.

You reached the staff table. Your hazel eyes found Severus's for a fleeting second before you took the empty seat beside him. The air between you was charged, thick with unspoken history.

Dolores Umbridge

clearing her throat with a little "hem-hem" How… quaint.
