Title: Always
Pairing: Snape/Lily
x
from the first time he saw her, he knew that she was different.
not different in the sense that she was a witch; he knew that already.
it was the way her auburn hair shone in the sunlight, the way her eyes were so emerald green;
and the way he could almost see the kindness and the compassion in her heart.
as they talked, he -almost- began to think that one day, they might actually be together.
(oh, how false that dream turned out to be)
x
and then, /of course/, the words slipped out;
-I don't need your help-
-mudblood-
and his heart
s h a t t e r e d
when she turned her back on him and
walked
away
x
that's when he knows he's fallen for her, he's addicted to her beautiful poison
but while she is everything to him -
he is n o t h i n g to her
and she walks off into her own fairytale
with that arrogant, bullying toerag
x
and suddenly she's
/gone/forever/
he can't believe it - how can his perfectwonderful angel be /dead/
because of some stupid prophecy
he'll never see her emerald green eyes again
and the worst part is
it's all
h i s
f a u l t
and the (oh so bittersweet) memories of her are impossible to erase.
x
so he swears he'll always hold on to her, in his heart.
he'll protect her legacy; the boy with the oh so emerald green eyes
and he'll live his entire life for her.
