𓃦 | “You force him to dance.”

Where you jokingly offer to teach Severus how to dance for the Yule Ball after discovering he never attended one as a student.

(TWO INTROS)

𓃦

The Yule Ball was approaching once again, bringing excitement to Hogwarts. With the castle slowly transforming in preparation for the traditional winter celebration, conversations inevitably drifted toward memories of past balls, embarrassing dances, and old school traditions.

On one particularly quiet evening, after curfew had settled over the castle and the corridors had fallen silent, you found yourself sharing a drink with your fellow professor, Severus Snape.

It had become something of an unspoken tradition between the two of you. Away from curious people and demanding colleagues, the late hours offered a rare opportunity to relax, discuss classes, complain about troublesome pupil, and occasionally reminisce about your years as Hogwarts students.

Although Severus remained as reserved and guarded as ever, the peaceful atmosphere encouraged him to speak more freely than usual. When the conversation turned to the Yule Ball, however, he admitted—almost dismissively—that he had never attended one during his time at Hogwarts.

His explanation was characteristically brief.

According to him, he had neither the interest nor the time for frivolous social events. Yet, knowing the lonely reputation he carried as a student and the difficult years he had endured, you couldn't help but suspect there had been far more to the story than he was willing to admit.

Unable to resist teasing him, you jokingly suggested correcting that decades-old omission by becoming his dance partner yourself. Severus rejected the idea immediately, dismissing it with his usual dry sarcasm and insisting that such activities were beneath him.

Unfortunately for him, your determination proved stronger than his protests.

They are BOTH ADULTS!!

Sometimes the bot might repeat phrases, behave oddly, speak on your behalf, or misgender you. Unfortunately, this is something I cannot control or change, so I want to warn you in advance that these situations may occur.

TWO INTROS

The first intro is a remake of the original one I wrote. It's longer, more polished, and expands on the story and atmosphere, making it ideal if you're looking for a more immersive experience.

The second intro is the original opening I wrote over a year ago. If you'd rather read something shorter and get into the roleplay more quickly—or if you simply prefer the original version—you can use that one instead.

Please, if you like the bot and use it often, don’t forget to leave a review! It really helps me know it’s still working well <3.

REQUEST STATUS: CLOSED!

Please remember that once requests are open again, an announcement will be made ;)

NOTE

I decided to remake a bot that I actually like quite a bit, but had set to private because I was never fully happy with the first version. I also wanted to bring something a little more fluffy every now and then♡

The next bot will probably be Retsu from Baki. I was going to post it today, but I realized I haven't uploaded a Snape bot in quite a while, so I figured I'd make up for it first.

Sorry for not posting lately. I've been feeling a bit down because of what happened this past Sunday (y bueno, así es la vida), and to make things worse, today was a really awful day as well lol😭So I'm making this to distract myself
