Pairing: DracoXReader, although it’s kinda just Snape doing Snape things…I think…?
Request: hello :) could you do the imagine where Draco is dating a slytherin muggle born and Snape is so happy and supportive for them (because he is close to Draco and he really likes the girl too), he is like remembering him and lily and hopes that yours realtionship will work. Just sth fluffy with Snape pls. (and also Draco can call snape uncle idk i always found it kinda cute but you dont have to do this)
Warnings: Not very heavy on dialogue. Also Snape feels about Lily so if you’re a bit uncomfortable about that then I wouldn’t suggest reading it.
A/N: Honestly, I’m not too big of a Snape fan, and even less so with SnapeXLily, but I found some ground for this oneshot. Sorry if this isn’t too fluffy, but I just can’t imagine Snape going overboard on fluff XD. Hope you still like it though!
Snape was, in lack of better terms…bitter about love. He blamed this, and everything else wrong with his life, on Potter. Whether it was James or Harry, Snape didn’t know and frankly, didn’t care. In his eyes, James stole Lily away. He ruined everything. If only Lily would have given him another chance to prove his love!
The gloomy professor walked down the halls, back straight and robes swishing like fabric in the wind. He took long strides, managing to look intimidatingly poised, yet mysteriously reserved all at once.
“Woah woah, look out it’s Snape!”
Snape heard the comment, obviously not meant for him to overhear, but he let it slide. The professor had grown used to comments like that long before he began teaching.
As he breezed into his classroom, a familiar, comforting sight welcomed him. Snape never, ever, encouraged any forms of affection in his class. He despised them.
Nonetheless, a pair seemed to have found an exception to this mental rule of his. At the very front of the room, sat his best student. (Really, second best, but he’d never let anyone know Granger beat Draco Malfoy in his classroom every so often.)
And next to him, was Y/N. Y/N was excellent in Potions, and often answered every question. They were even muggle-born. It couldn’t help but remind Snape of Granger, but another feature that stood out above all was that it reminded him of..Lily.
Draco and Y/N looked up. Draco beamed and sat up straighter, but Y/N simply gave a shy smile and acted like any normal student would. The scene struck Snape and blew him into the past, where he’d be just as eager in class while Lily stuck by his side.
Snape continued instructing the class, but every so often, he’d hear Draco and Y/N. They’d sometimes hold hands under the table, or they would make each other laugh and have to stifle their giggles.
The potions professor noticed. Of course he noticed, but every time he felt like stopping it, another part urged him to let the couple be. If Draco cast a worried glance towards Snapes’ way, the professor would give his most respectable version of an ‘approving smile’, and continue his business.
“Don’t you think it’s strange that Snape snaps at other students but not us?” Y/N questioned. “Don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you do get a little out of character cool in that class, not that I mind much.”
“I guess, but you can also say that’s just another perk of being with me,” Draco proudly grinned.
“Oh can it!” Y/N playfully shoved him. “Really though, you never wondered?”
“I mean…I suppose not that much. It’s weird, but he’s always been present in my life like…an uncle of some sort? I don’t know.” Draco answered, rubbing his neck and looking down at his feet.
Y/N giggled and wrapped an arm around him. “It’s not that weird. I just hope he doesn’t think we’re a nuisance..like everyone else in class does.”
“What?” Draco laughed. “No one thinks that!”
“Keep telling yourself that. It’ll make you more popular for sure,” Y/N rolls their eyes and shakes their head.
Snape couldn’t help but overhear this exchange as he was cleaning the classroom. As per usual, he let it be. After the patter of footsteps died down outside, he let out a heartsick sigh.
“Oh wait! Forgot a book in the room!” Draco’s voice sounded. Snape glanced at his usual seat and found a single book laying there. He picked it up, awaiting Malfoy’s arrival.
“Professor, apologies for disturbing you, but have you seen-” Draco burst in, face slightly flushed.
“Your book is here, Draco,” Snape handed it over to him with a level tone. “And for the record, I do not find you or Y/N to create any inconveniences in my class…”
“I-I’m sorry professor, you weren’t meant to-” Draco’s face reddened even more.
“It is quite alright, Mister Malfoy. I believe Y/N is waiting for you outside. It’s best not to keep them in suspense for long about your whereabouts…” Snape replied.
Draco nodded and dashed out as swiftly as he came in. Once again, Snape was left inside an empty room, all to himself.
