Thawing My Heart

A Cannon Compliant super micro story from Snape

I have made many mistakes in my life. Darkness had consumed me and my heart had turned to ice, and for what? A school boy grudge? Jealousy over a crush? Anger over being unpopular? I was young, rash, and foolish. I was drawn to the dark side, but all the while, I still loved Lily Evens. Though, I knew she would hate me forever, I lived only for my revenge. I got it, my revenge, but the price was heavy, too heavy. Potter was killed, but so was Lily. I hated myself forever, though I had changed. My heart thawed out, I just wish it had happened differently. I, Severus Tobias Snape, swear to atone to my mistakes by protecting Harry Potter with my very life. Voldemort must pay, and mark my words, he will, with his life.
