Guilt
A/N: My first Fic! The song lyrics come from 'The Tigger Movie' and the song is called 'Your Heart Will Lead You Home'
* * *
Sunny days and starry nights,
Lazy afternoons,
You're countin' castles in the
Clouds
And hummin' little tunes
But somehow, right before
your eyes
The summer fades away.
And everything has changed.
Severus Snape sat alone on the steps to the great mahogany doors of Hogwarts. He started at the trees of the Forbidden Forest; the leaves had turned brown and had begun to fall. He sighed and tried to remember when they were green. The memory was to faded around the edges to remember properly.
Everything had changed, he could remember when everything was perfect, and he could remember when happiness rang the corridors of Hogwarts. But that was no since…he closed his eyes and tried to clear a little pocket in his mind to hide the guilt, but he found his mind to full of guilt.
If you feel lost and on your
Own
And far from home,
Your never alone, you
Know,
Just think of your friends
The ones, who care,
They all will be waiting there
With love to share,
And your heart will lead you
Home.
He was lost in his mind of guilt. His friends had deserted him his family was dead. When he thought of the people who had once cared for him, it brought tears to his eyes. They would be waiting for him on the other side, but it was hard to tell where he would go. To heaven or to Hell.
His heart ached for his loved ones; his heart ached for his homeland. He didn't want to leave this place, despite the guilt he held. If he left this place he would be betraying those who had died for him.
Funny how a photograph
Can take you back in time
To places and embraces
That you thought you'd left
Behind
They're trying to remind you
That you're not the only one
That no one is an island
When all is said and done.
From within the folds of his robes he took a photograph. He found his mind transported back to the day when it was first taken, he had been happy then with no guilt to plague his mind. He had been in love with the woman he had his arm round he had smiled.
A voice inside him reminded him that he hadn't been the only one who lost. Anger built up inside him when he thought of the girl's family. It hadn't been his fault they had blamed him. The guilt was beginning to bore into his soul.
There'll come a day
When you're losing your
way
And you won't know where
you belong
They say that "Home is where the heart is"
So, follow your heart
And you know that you can't go wrong.
Where did he belong? He didn't belong with them or anyone. If only he could turn back time to before it had happened, would his conscious be any clearer then? His heart was telling him to go back inside, but if he did that, he would be pounced upon by guilt. The guilt was the only thing that was stopping him from being who he was.
If you feel lost and on your
Own
And far from home
You're never alone, you
Know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waiting there
With love to share
And your heart will lead you
Where you belong
I know your heart will lead
You home
A gentle hand rested upon his shoulder, he turned and looked into the smiling, elderly face of Albus Dumbledore.
"Come back inside." He said gently. Snape didn't reply he just cried. Little did he know he would carry this guilt with him forever.
