Monster
Severus Snape could be called a lot of things.. Spy, Deatheater, Teacher, Traitor.. And all of the things had been true. Hopefully, there all of that would all be over soon. He somehow hated to keep the act up. He wanted to be able to retreat and just be alone.
Severus Snape allowed himself to think this, as he walked slowly down an empty corridor. Hogwarts was quiet during the holidays, and that was why it was Severus' favorite time of the year. He walked down the corridor and turned left, then right and then left again. He had walked that walk many times before.
He turned around the last corner and opened the door to the abandoned classroom. He hadn't had time to come here since the students had started this summer. Severus stood still as he saw the mirror of erised. A small voice in the back of his head was telling him to turn around and go back again, but the desire for the woman he missed was too strong. He stepped in, in front of the mirror.
But where there would normally stand a tall red-haired, beautiful woman now stood an eleven year old boy with glasses and coal black hair. Severus blinked. The boy smiled at him and waved. Severus shook his head and closed his eyes. He opened them again, only to see a replica of himself in the mirror. The replica bent down and kissed the eleven year old boy in the mouth and the small boy happily kissed back.
"No." Severus whispered to no one but himself, and fell down on his knees in front of the mirror. He buried his head in his hands as he felt water filling up his eyes, threatening to release themselves as simple tears. The threat became reality and the tears ran through his hands and fell like rain on the floor in front of him.
Yes. Severus Snape could be called a lot of things. But he would never allow himself to be a monster..
