Severus Snape laying in bed with his partner Hermione Granger watching her sleep after their clandestine tryst, asleep in his grey night shirt. Severus could not imagine being able to live with if anything should happen to her. As much as Severus loved Hermione it was not her light that made him fight for the grerater good, it was revenge. The need to avenge his best friend Lily cotrolled his actions before he even met Hermione. Severus did not know if love is as strong as hate but for his wild haired witch he would do his best.
