A Second Chance at Love: Snape Student/Teacher love story

Prologue

Never in my lifetime did I think I would fall in love again. Lilly Evans was the love of my life, my soul mate, not this sharp tongued dim-witted young woman. I remember Lilly when we first met. She was showing her muggle sister a flower in her hand. Lilly was using magic to open and close the petals. You could tell by the muggle's voice she was frightened of what her sister was capable of. Jealousy shone in Petunia eyes like the greenest emerald gemstone. We found a letter Petunia wrote to Hogwarts trying to see if she could get into Hogwarts with her sister. I was astounded that she even got a reply, there are wizards who work in muggle world who intercept mail of that sensitive type of nature. Ever since then I believed she would be harsh and cruel to Lilly when she went home on school holidays because Lilly got something and she did not. Instead she got ignored as every bit of attention went to Lilly. I felt sorry for Petunia being the older sister. Lilly was obviously the favourite child.

Lilly had a pure heart but Petunia was intimidated by Lilly. Being the older sister she was an only child before Lilly came along and got everything and anything she wanted. That changed when Lilly came along and in the end Petunia got pushed to the side like she was nothing. Apparently she's married to some Muggle who works at a drilling company and has a son. She probably gives the boy everything he wants to make up for getting ignored after Lilly came along. It is sad that Petunia ended up that way. All she wanted was her family's approval. Makes me wonder if Lilly was the oldest if she might've turned out like that but I highly doubt it. Her heart was what made Lilly who she was.

Lilly and I went off to Hogwarts together but as we got older, we grew apart. To this day, I wish I could go back in time and change things so that I could have been with Lilly not Potter. Potter was an idiotic, selfish, sanctimonious bastard who eventually charmed Lilly. Lilly would always defend me over James; she was not impressed by Potter and rejected him at every chance he got to court her. Lilly would stick by me and every time James and his gang of followers would bully me Lilly would stop them. As we got older though, the friends that I had made at school did not like her because she was a 'Mudblood' which is a derogatory term for a muggle born witch or wizard. It means foul blood or dirty blood. Falling into the wrong crowd is an understatement to what I did. I became a Death Eater with my friends while still at school. We worshipped the ground He Who Must Not Be Named walked on and acted as faithful servants. Lord Voldermort, the Dark Lord became our master and branded us with his mark. Lilly caught on to what I was doing at school and told me to never speak to her again. She gave me a warning to get rid of my friends and I wished I had listened because of one mistake I made I lost her and she ended up with James.

Years Later, I was on a mission, spying for Voldemort one night. I was sent to Hogsmede to overhear the teaching interview of Sybill Trelawney. The interview went badly it seemed, Dumbledore was about to leave until Sybill told of a prophecy that changed not only my life but the whole Wizarding World; it changed the whole wizarding world forever. The prophecy foretold of a child who could defeat He Who Must Not Be Named. I automatically told my master the prophecy and then realised what I had done. I put Lilly's life in danger over my pathetic childhood grudge against Potter. I raced to Dumbledore and asked him to protect the Potters and I did a risky moved and became a double agent just to protect Lilly. However, it was useless. Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potter's to The Dark Lord and they were killed. Sirius Black another part of the Potter gang took the blame. Now I had to play Double Agent and protect Lilly's son from Voldemort. This young woman got in my way and heart, and has now made it complicated and gave me a weakness and something to lose.
