The Dark Lord hissed something to Nagini. Before I could react the snake lunged and bit my neck. I fell back against the window. She bit me again and again, until the Dark Lord decided it was enough and took her away with him. I felt my life slipping out of the wounds. So this is how dying felt.

But then Harry was there, with Granger and Weasley. He covered my neck wound with his hand, trying to staunch the blood flow, even though it was futile. I had to tell him what Dumbledore had told me, what was crucial for Harry to know if he was to defeat the Dark Lord. But I could hardly breathe, let alone speak.

"Take them, t-take them," I choked out, indicating to my tears.

"Hermione, get me something, a flask, quick anything," he said to Granger.

I heard a stopper being pulled out of something and cool glass being pressed to my cheeks as he tried to get tears inside the phial. He handed it back to Granger. I expected him to leave to go to the pensieve. The arrogant boy had used it so many times before, without permission, he'd know exactly what to do with the tears.

But, he's not so arrogant, or vain, or vile. This boy, whom I've made miserable for years, is willing to stay with me until the very end. I've tortured him because what, he's Potter's spawn? He's still Lily's boy and I had no right to treat him that way. I feel remorse and guilt rising through me, I don't want to be remembered just as the man who loved Harry's mother, was a double-agent all along and died to defeat the Dark Lord. I want Harry to know I really did care about him.

"Harry, l-look at me," I desperately try to think of something to leave him with. And then I catch his eye. I never looked properly at his eyes. They're brilliant green. "You have your mother's eyes."

And those beautiful green eyes, Lily's eyes, are the last things I see. As my last breath of air escapes me I feel my last drop of life leave, and everything goes blank.

The End


If you didn't understand what was going on then, SPOILER ALERT, it was Snape's death from his point of view. I hope you like it even though it was kind of short, but it's my first go! If you could find the time to review it that would be great, I'd really love to get people's opinion! Thanks ^.^
