Unrequited Love
Hey, now I guess that you've probably noticed a pattern with my new stories, they're all about Severus Snape, and this one is no exception. I got the idea for this just randomly and I wondered whether any of the girls would have noticed him when he was in school and whether anything would have happened after Lily Potter's death and Voldemort's defeat. As you might guess this completely ignores DH and also HBP, the only part of DH that this is compliant with is that Harry had to collect Horcruxes to kill Voldemort.
I don't own Harry Potter, anything in italics beyond this point belongs to JKR or some other author…
Prologue
'Cause we are brokenWhat must we do to restoreOur innocenceAnd oh, the promise we adored Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole' from We Are Broken by Paramore
Voldemort was dead, Harry Potter had finally killed him after years preparing and a year spent finding and destroying Horcruxes. But the side of light was not without its loses, Ron Weasley was killed as he pushed his brother Fred out of the way of a magical explosion, Mad Eye Moody was killed by several death eaters but he took at least six with him. They almost lost Severus Snape in the final battle to Nagini, Voldemort's snake familiar; the only reason he survived was because a brave but unknown witch sliced it in half. After seeing the amount of death and destruction caused by the final battle Dumbledore decided to bring in a new subject, General Defence. Unfortunately, he was unable to find a suitable teacher until two years later.
