Summary: Harry's a computer science student, but he needs a writing credit to qualify for an internship. All the writing classes are full, so he ends up in Snape's lit class as a substitute. Snape is a hardass, but no one passes his class without learning to write, and it turns out they have something else in common.
A/N: The request was for this to be a college thing: Non-magic AU, Snape is an English/Literature/Composition professor at some university. And while many of his passing students go on to do excellent things in the world of literature, he is still notorious for being strict, unsympathetic, and borderline cruel to his classes. Harry is an engineering student -or some other non-English/Literature major- but has to take at least one writing class to graduate. He's never been very good with words, preferring more concrete things like math and science. And try as he might, he's doing atrociously in Snape's class. For some inexplicable reason, however, he's very keen to impress his snide professor. But as my experience with college is in the US, that necessarily meant it has an American flavor. I hope that's not too distracting.
