17. The Unravelling of Severus Snape (Part 1)
Added 2025-04-01 17:10:08 +0000 UTC
With your mother unwell, you've returned home for an extended stay - leaving Severus behind at Hogwarts, and the two of you once again forced to keep your relationship secret, and now... distant. The timing is painful. The two of you have just shared your first weekend together in private, wrapped in the quiet tenderness of Spinner’s End. Now, all you have are letters.
In your first correspondence, you write to Severus with warmth, fondness and longing. You miss him. You say so. You recount memories and share updates. And then... you mention him.
An old friend. A childhood troublemaker. Someone you haven’t seen in years - until now. You ran into him unexpectedly in town. He asked you to tea.
You said yes.
It meant nothing.
But Severus lingers on the name.
He responds with grace, restraint, and that dry wit that you love - but there’s something new beneath his words. A hesitation. A tightness. A shift.
He tells himself it’s nothing.
But jealousy never starts as a fire. It starts with a flicker.
And this?
This is the spark.
This is where it starts.
The distance.
The doubt.
The unravelling of Severus Snape.

Also this might be the best voice so far, it's amazing - the whispers, the changes in volume and tone, wow! You are a genius! Also, Sev reading anything is ... Stirring ❤️🔥
