Short thing about Lily and Snape's 'relationship' after the infamous O.W.L's. Very sad. The song is "The Things You Said" by Depeche Mode, and the characters are J.K. Rowling's.
The Things You Said (Depeche Mode)
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
"Alice said that you wanted to see me, Snape?" Lily spat.
"Yeah, I wanted to say that I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" The repentant Slytherin looked at the ground.
About the things you said
"Snape, I can't. You chose your way, and that can't include any Mudbloods like me." She sad, flinging his words from earlier back at him. "Bye. Go back to all our pureblood friends." She looked sad, but resolute. She went back to the common room. But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
She went to her room and tried to cry silently.
They know my weaknesses
But they heard her anyway.
I never tried to hide them
"Want some chocolate?"
"Yeah." They know my weaknesses
"Let's go get some ice cream, too. Lots of sugar."
I never denied them
"Okay." Anything to get away from the memory of him.
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
"Lily, I think he really is sad about this. He seemed so sorry. I felt bad for him- and I don't even like him."
About the things you said
"He said he loved you, Lily. Like, real love." How can a view become so twisted
"Lily! I'm sorry! Please!"
How can a view become so twisted
"No. You were corrupted by them, so stop trying to pretend you like us mudbloods." They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
"She's till crying, isn't she?"
You tried them
"Yes. He broke her heart. I think she liked him more than a friend, sometimes." I get so carried away
She still remembered the day they first met. She had been showing off to Petunia. I thought I was amazing.
You brought me down to earth
"You're a witch!" you had cried, and I remembered that people would see me as a freak.
I thought we had something precious
Petunia thought that, later. And you held me as I cried, and I felt protected inside those arms.
Now I know what it's worth
And now you're calling me something else. Mudblood.
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
"Lily? I think you shuold know- Sirius eavesdropped on Bella, and heard her saying something... about him."
About the things you said
"She said that he had accepted You-Know-Who. And got the tattoo."
I've never felt so disappointed
She walked down tothe Slytherin common room in a haze. Luckily, he was outside.
Never felt so disappointed
"It's been over a year Snape, stop groveling when you see me. I want to see your arm."
"What? Get off! No, don't look!"
"Fuck, Snape! How... how could you?" They know my weaknesses
"Lily? Please, look at me."
I never tried to hide them
She jerked her face out of his grasp, tears pouring down her face.
They know my weaknesses
"You have no chance for my forgiveness now, Snape." She gasped.
Thought that you liked them
We had something, Snape. We were great together. I wish it was different. They know me better than that
"This is too much for sugar, isn't it?"
"Yep."
