Different But Amazing

Life is very different

Spring has sprung anew

They no longer live in fear

I sit here watching

As he plays quidditch

As she still cannot put down a good book

As he trumps his friends in chess

They live in peace and as do I

Life is very different

As gray eyes gaze down at me

The eyes of an enemy turned friend

In this new life we are all forgiven

A gentle hand rests on my shoulder

Soft footsteps glide up beside me

Ever messy hair obstructs my view

They are watching too

Now I am pulled away

A game of tag in the soft green grass

A maybe a few pranks on a new friend

And a nap in the bright sunshine

I, Severus Snape, have become a marauder

Life is very different

But sometimes different can be amazing
