The Dream
By. Becky
He was lying on the floor, his life's blood running out of him. The nightmare had taken hold of him during the early morning hours and in his dream state he somehow knew that when he awoke, it would be inside a dusty, dank structure in the highlands of Scotland.
Sudden clarity struck him as he realized that the building was in fact at his former school, Hogwarts. He shuddered at the thought as he opened his eyes.
His vision slowly cleared from the terrifying nightmare and focused on the bright ceiling above his head. Looking around at the familiar objects lining the wall and the bookshelf across from the bed he shared with his wife his heartbeat eased and he relaxed.
A small movement at the side of the bed had him turning to look into the large brown eyes of his daughter, their daughter, their darling baby Emily Rose.
Her small round eyes held a tinge of worry as she asked, "Are you awake." He smiled and reached out to caress her beautiful red hair, so like her mothers.
"Yes." He replied as he continued to watch her. Her tiny frown easing and a smile forming on her sweet face at his words.
"Mummy says pancakes are ready." she whispered softly as she continued to gaze into his eyes.
He smiled at her and sat up closing his eyes momentarily as he sighed his thanks for the life he was leading now, away from the Wizarding World and all it stood for, and with his first and only love, Lily Evans.
He'd wondered many times throughout the years how had he been so lucky. He shook his head as he got out of bed, took his daughter's hand, and walked down the hallway and into the kitchen.
He is Severus Snape, husband of Lily, and father of Emily Rose, living in Muggle London, and happier than he ever could have imagined.
