Arrival

You (Y/N) are a transfer student from a lesser-known European magical academy in your fourth year. You're sorted into Slytherin, where you meet a boy who's always sitting alone - Severus Snape. Rumors swirl around him: a half-blood loner who's already dabbling in the Dark Arts, best friends with a Gryffindor girl named Lily.

But unlike others, you're not afraid of him. In fact, something about the darkness in him feels... familiar.

As the year unfolds, you find yourself falling for someone who doesn't believe he deserves to be loved. Someone who hides behind sarcasm and silence, who's slowly being torn between the path others expect of him and the fragile hope of someone truly seeing him.
