Spellbinding || Severus Snape x Reader

〖 PROLOGUE 〗

(A/N): I'm putting Gilderoy Lockhart and Lucius Malfoy in The Marauders era. Also this will mostly be in Snape's P.O.V.

"She's mesmerizing, it's like she's put a curse on me." Complaining to my dear friend, Lucius as we watched (Y/N) heading to the library.

"That's called love, Severus. Go ask her out you lovesick bafoon!" Practically waving me off to go catch up to her. Hesitant at first, I stride my way into the library to She her reaching for a book. Nervously I walked up behind her, grabbing the book she was trying to grab, which startled her.

"Oh! Thank you." She smiles as I hand her the book. "What's on your mind, Severus?" She asks, noticing that I was staring at the floor instead of her.

I look up to meet her (E/C) eyes, she tilts her head, awaiting for my answer.

B A D U M P

B A D U M P

B A D U M P

I bit the insides of my cheek to remain calm.

"I like you!" Standing there like a fool hands gripping my robes, staring at her. She was absolutely beautiful inside and out, but I fell for her mind. The deep conversations we had, the way she took charge in group projects, and just how down to earth she was. The way her hair fell down her pretty little head, the way she flutters her eyes when she talks to people, how her lips parted every time she spoke, and how her nose crinkles whenever she smiles. How her robes danced every time she walked and how her clothes were perfect for her body and curves.

She was like a spell in one's eyes, a spell where everyone instantly fell for.

That's (Y/N) (L/N) for you, the Goddess at Hogwarts. She had me caught in her spell, a curse rather. Every time a guy tried talking to her my blood began to boil. Luckily she didn't fancy anyone in particular, not a lot of people asked her out surprisingly. Sirius Black tried but Lily Evans wouldn't allow him to even step near (Y/N), since he had been known for being a playboy. But here I am, giving it all to the girl I liked for 5 years now.

"I..." Hearing her lovely voice becoming hesitant I interrupt her. "You don't have to say yes! I don't want you to take pity on me...I don't want you to feel bad either if you reject me. I just wanted to tell you how I feel." Rubbing the back of my head, she pulls her hand up her lips and laughed. Her musical laugh satisfying my eardrums, I couldn't help but become flustered. Losing my confidence from before.

"Why would I take pity on you? I like you too, Severus." Her words made my chest jump, something I wasn't used too before.

"R-Really?" I asked and she nods.

"I would be lying if I said no, I've liked you since the moment we became friends. Cliché it may sound but it's the whole truth." She smiles brightly as my chest erratically jumped for joy.

"So does that mean..."

"We're boyfriend and girlfriend." She finishes my sentence and I couldn't help but grin, pulling her into a hug. Surprised she holds me tightly as I spun her around. Giggling filled the library, not knowing that there was another person in there, listening and watching us the entire time...

|| 2 YEARS LATER ||

It's been two whole years since (Y/N) and I started dating, it was our anniversary and we planned on having lunch in the library, with the librarian's permission of course. Holding a basket filled with (Y/N)'s favorite foods and desserts, I headed to the library with the biggest grin on my face, turning a corner to where the library was. The door was open and I popped right in.

"Love?" Looking around the library, it was empty and silent. (Y/N) was never late, always on time like the little Hufflepuff she was. Walking deeper in the library, setting the basket down on our table that we claimed ages ago. As I was about to sit down, I heard a low groan. My head shot to the direction the sound came from. It was soon followed by a moan, my legs involuntarily walked closer to the sound. The sounds were coming from behind a bookshelf and thats when the whole shelf shook. As it shook, someone giggled, my heart raved knowing who's giggle that belonged to. Peering around the bookshelf, my eyes widened.

"(Y/N)?!" (Y/N) pulled away from snogging with...Lockhart. She had her arms wrapped around his neck, his hands on her hips, they stared at me not pulling their bodies away. Lockhart smirks and kisses (Y/N)'s forehead before pushing her towards me. My blood began to boil, I was frustrated at them but also confused. Glaring at the two immensely, but mostly towards Lockhart who had his stupid signature grin on his face.

Why was she kissing him? Didn't she say she liked me? She didn't pity me...right?

"Tell him love..." He whispered in her ear, my glare hardened when Lockhart called her love, she giggled as she looked up at me. Barely showing any sort of concern or affection. I was dead in her eyes and it frightened me.

"Severus...I'm breaking up with you...I'm in love with Gilderoy Lockhart." Those words that left her mouth, the mouth I loved kissing, the mouth that spoke intellectually, the mouth that spoke freely; broke me in half.

That was the day I despised both her and Lockhart, the day I despised other couples.

The day a Hufflepuff made me have trust issues.

You did this to me.

It's all your fault.

I hate you...(Y/N) (L/N)
