Love Story

After the death of Lily Potter, Severus Snape remembered the first time they met

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.

He remembered when she had come up to him at the Yule Ball…

I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know..

When he saw her he realized

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...

As soon as she was next to me I dreamed she'd say

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

Instead she said meet me in hogsmade, his parents hadn't signed his hogsmade form so he snuck out

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

The other kids in slytherin told him not to go, but I always went

Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...

She asked to go somewhere, anywhere

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-

His friends started to tell he shouldn't feel this way about a mudblood

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.

Lily began hanging around the Marauders and moved away from him

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...


when saw her he felt like he could cry he called out to her

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

She flew into his arm and yelled how she had missed him

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.

Severus Snape awoke and a single tear rolled down his cheek

'cause we were both young when I first saw you
