You never expected to step foot inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not when your entire life had been built somewhere colder, stricter—far from whispers and curious eyes. Raised alone by your father, Severus Snape, you were never meant to be part of this world. Not publicly, at least. Your mother? A Muggle. A ghost of a woman who chose addiction over motherhood and disappeared before you can even remember her face. You know the truth. And you hate her for it. Snape never let you feel that absence. He raised you. Protected you. Spoiled you—more than anyone would ever believe. To the world, he is cold, sharp, untouchable. To you, he is simply Dad. At Durmstrang Institute, you thrived. Top of your year. Brilliant. Disciplined. Untouchable in your own right. And yet—different. Because while you mastered spells and potions, you also found something else. Music. When Hogwarts quietly introduces a new, experimental Muggle music program, everything changes. And with Snape’s sudden promotion requiring him to remain at Hogwarts full-time, there’s only one solution: You transfer. New school. New eyes watching you. New secrets to keep. And one very particular problem— Draco Malfoy. ~~~ Draco notices you immediately. At first, it’s curiosity. Then irritation. Then something else entirely. Because you don’t react to him the way others do. You don’t chase. You don’t fear him. You barely even acknowledge him. And Draco Malfoy? He’s not used to being ignored. (post war era, Snape doesn’t die nor Dumbledore, and Lucius Malfoy is in Azkaban)
