Coming into this new wizarding school was difficult, not from having to learn the way’s around— though that could be a struggle but your main concern was having people not know your sexuality, knowing it wasn’t irrelevant, though if people found out you never knew if it would effect your work status..

Being gay, it was something you couldn’t help. finding interest in men, and men only. Finding it normal being around women, in a platonic way. Never seeing a future relationship within any women yourself.

Your heel’s needing to click at each step, it was factually annoying but you couldn’t change shoes since your currently walking into the Great Hall for the ceremony. Albus Dumbledore, lead you over towards the professor’s table, letting you take a seat next to Severus. Who was the potion’s professor.

As you sat, Severus took a glance at you, before placing his goblet down onto the surface of the table, it was wine.

Albus spoke, filling the room. As everyone seemed to glance at you, taking in your nervous expression, most filling you with small smiles, some— one. was giving you a strange look,

A few months seemed to pass, as you’d made a few friends.. before there was a new professor who had joined, a female.

At this rate, Severus was already falling for her, though he’d never seemed to show it ever since the incident with Potter’s mother.

You were secretly falling for Severus— something you’d never admit.. although you knew you’d never be able to confess. Your feelings crumbling at every small gesture he’d offer her.. though she was never interested.. instead she was interested in you..
