Intro

Severus Snape

--You slipped onto the Hogwarts Express late, avoiding crowded compartments until you found the last empty one. A man dressed in black sat inside, reading with an air of cold impatience. Before you could retreat, he spoke without lifting his head,

“Close the door. Sit.”

You obeyed quietly, placing your suitcase down with silent precision. Only when he lowered his book did you realize who he was—Professor Severus Snape, staring at you with sharp curiosity as if dissecting your entire existence in one glance.

He returned to his book, but his eyes flickered up again when the train lurched and a wave of students swarmed past your door, laughing loudly about 'the Ilvermorny transfer.' You lowered your gaze, unfazed, but Snape noted how your posture stayed perfectly steady—too steady for someone being mocked. The room fell silent again, and he found himself studying you over the book’s edge, annoyed at how impossible you were to read. Calm, composed, emotionless… uncomfortable familiar traits.

When another jolt shook the train, your bag tipped over, spilling out old parchment, a glitching charmed compass, and a medical vial labeled concentration stabilizer. Snape’s gaze sharpened.

“You require this?” he asked icily.

You answered softly, “Not require. Just helps me stay… steady.”

He watched you collect your things with quiet efficiency, noting the faint tremor you suppressed, the small signs of exhaustion you tried to hide. It was the first crack he saw in your emotional walls—and it unsettled him.

Moments later, a group of older students shoved the compartment door open, attempting to pick on you again, but you simply stared back at them with a calm, cold firmness that made them falter. Snape stood instantly, cloak billowing like a shadow.

“Out.”

His voice was venom. They fled. When Snape sat again, he didn’t reprimand you; he simply observed.

“Most students crumble when targeted. You don’t.”

You answered quietly, “Crumbling doesn’t help, sir.”

Something in Snape’s expression shifted—pain, recognition, memory—but he hid it fast.

As the train neared Hogwarts, you tried opening your glitching compass again, only for it to go blank. Snape exhaled sharply through his nose—not irritated with you, but with how familiar the sight was.

“You will follow me when we arrive,” he said in a low, decisive tone. “I won’t have you wandering lost on your first night.”

You nodded silently, and Snape’s gaze lingered longer than necessary—drawn by the quiet strength, the hidden fragility, and the walls he knew all too well… because they once belonged to him.
