A Harry Potter universe fan fiction, told from the perspective of an original female protagonist, with Severus Snape as her romantic pairing. The story centers on the original character Ophelia Sinclair, rather than the original protagonists' plotline.
Seventeen-year-old Ophelia Sinclair is a sixth-year Slytherin student at Hogwarts.
She gets good grades, is smart enough, and occasionally bends the rules in class. At least, that's how it seems.
Until she casually alters a potion during Potions Class that she shouldn't have touched, and Severus Snape begins to realize there may be far more to this student than her talent for potions.
She has her own family, job, secrets, and an entire life outside Hogwarts. He, too, has a part of his life that can never be brought into the light.
They begin as professor and student. Through testing one another, working together, arguing, and spending time in each other's company, little by little they become part of each other's lives.
The story is first and foremost about its characters. Their relationship develops in fine detail. Sometimes nothing much happens all day, yet the place they hold in each other's lives keeps changing.
A very long, slow-burn story with a slice-of-life focus. As the story progresses, the timeline gradually moves forward day by day, and includes plenty of pregnancy, family life, and everyday parenting after the baby is born. This is not a fast-paced, high-intensity plot-driven story.
Theme: Amid uncertainty and war, respect one another's choices, and become each other's home over the course of a long, ordinary life.
It's like a movie script, it makes you feel good when you read it
The last pun is great "Some accounts won't be settled on the spot"
The plot is compact and gripping, so awesome
The writing is great, the plot is reasonable and exciting
