Summary: Ok umm this is a sad story. Harry and Severus love each, but they don't have much time left. The song is a version of Candle in the wind.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the song. I however did change the lyrics to it, so if you want to use the lyrics please ask me first. Ok thanks.
Dedication: I wanted to dedicate this to my Grand Mother Dorothy who died two years ago. I miss you so much.
Sweetest Spell.
If you had told Severus Snape that the one person he cared about most was going to return from war dying, he would have laughed. You see He loved Harry Potter more than anyone could guess. Harry had gone to fight the final battle with Voldemort. Snape was sitting with their adopted daughter telling he a bed time story when the news came.
Lucius Malfoy, another spy for the light came running up to the manor with the fallen man in his arms. Harry wasn't dead yet but was fading fast. "Severus!" Lucius screamed. Severus walked down the stairs and into the parlor with a calm face, but when he saw his husband he ran to him. "Voldemort is dead."
"Oh Harry you did it." Severus smiled. But when he saw the look on his friend it fell away. "What's wrong? Harry are you alright?"
"I am dying Sev." The voice was small and it frightened Severus. "Promise me you'll take care of Sanora." He tried to smile but it never reached his eyes, which were already dead.
"I promise you she will always remember you, but you can't leave me… Voldemort is dead… why do you have to leave too?"
"Sev please.. I am not going to last too much longer. Just hold me." Severus picked up the lighter smaller man. He then carried him up to their bed. There they lay together. Severus held his dying husband in his arms, not wanting to let him go. " I… love… you… Severus. Remember… that."
"Always love. I'll never forget you. Wait for me." Severus cried as he felt Harry go limp. His husbands heart stopped, and his spirit left in a final breath. "I will always love you Harry Please remember that." There Severus Snape lay holding the dead body of his husband. Tears crept down his cheeks. There was nothing he could do. He felt helpless. That's when he heard it. Their daughter was crying. She had always had a bond with Harry, and she knew he was dead. He would have to tell her now before she found out by something else.
"Sanora? I know you are awake. There is something we need to talk about." He had walked into her room and sat on her bed. Sanora who was a small child with silky black hair, and bright green eyes crawled into his lap. She looked so much like Harry. She was four years old, too young to remember her father.
"Daddy is dead isn't he?" She knew that it felt like and Severus hated to tell her this but he had too.
"Yes dearest. He went up to heaven." Tears fell unchecked down their cheeks. Neither of them saw Lucius watching them. "Do you want to talk about this love?"
"Will I ever see him again father?" She looked up at him with tear filled eyes.
"Oh yes. He is going to stand there waiting for us… When we die he will throw open his arms and run to us. He will not forget, because he and angel, they don't forget those they loved." They eventually cried themselves to sleep.
**Two days later**
It was time for Harry's funeral, and the entire Wizarding world was watching. One person came up to Severus and Sanora. He was hoping to sing a song in honor of the "Fallen Hero", Severus knew who it was but was surprised that he really wanted to sing. What Severus didn't know not only was it the Wizarding World, but the muggle world was watching as well.
The muggles had accepted magic and had all fallen in love with the boy who lived. He had saved their world and them from Lord Voldemort. It was only a small boy a few years ago. But that small boy had grown, and captured the heart of his Potions master.
"We would be honored if you sang for Harry." He heard a familiar voice say. He turned around to see Harry's godfather Sirius Black standing behind him. Strangely enough they embraced like friends before turning to the singer. Elton John smiled and thanked them and began to play a familiar song. 'Candle in the wind.' However he had changes it again for Harry.
"Good bye sweetest spell, may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were that grace that placed itself, when lives were torn apart.
You called out to our magic and you consoled those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven and the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me that you lived you life like a candle in the wind.
Never fading with the sunset as the rains came in.
And your footsteps will always fall here in Hogwarts drafty halls.
Your candles burned out long before your magic ever will.
With out you it's like the battle was lost. And we never saw the end.
With out your love, this torch we carry for you the worlds golden child.
Though we try, the truth brings us to tears, all our words could not express the joy you brought us through the years.
And it seems to me that you lived you life like a candle in the wind.
Never fading with the sunset as the rains came in.
And your footsteps will always fall here in Hogwarts drafty halls.
Your candles burned out long before your magic ever will.
Good bye sweetest spell, may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were that grace that placed itself, when lives were torn apart.
Good bye sweetest spell, from your loved ones lost with out your soul.
Who miss the waves of your compassion more than you will ever know.
And it seems to me that you lived you life like a candle in the wind.
Never fading with the sunset as the rains came in.
And your footsteps will always fall here in Hogwarts drafty halls.
Your candles burned out long before your magic ever will.
Your footsteps will always fall here in Hogwarts drafty halls.
Your candles burned out long before your magic ever will."
As the song ended people cried and prayed for Harry's soul to be safely in heaven. They all left one by one until five people were standing near the new grave. They were Severus Sirius Sanora Remus and Lucius. Together they sang the song one last time before leaving themselves. 'I love you all!' Was what the wind seemed to say in Harry's voice.
A/N: Ok what did you al think? Please tell me. I was crying when I wrote this so I hope I didn't ruin any good moods. I had listened to the version for Princess Diana and I had to write something for it. Ok that's all. Love you all.
