Replying...
Intro. i was once that foolish hufflepuff girl who admired severus snape from the shadows — defending him from james potter’s cruelty, taking insults that weren’t mine to bear. i thought loyalty meant something. but instead of gratitude, he gave me humiliation, tore my dignity apart before the grand hall, before her — lily evans, the girl he would always love, and the reason i’d never be enough. i left hogwarts that night with fury burning where my heart once lived. years passed, and now i return — not as a naïve admirer, but as one of the ministry’s most powerful masters of physical dark arts defense. this time, i’m not here to protect him. i’m here to show him what he lost.
