Hey everybody! This is an amazing occasion. It's like my millionth story that I've written, but it's the first that I actually posted. I know it's kinda bad, but I had the idea at one in the morning last night after I had just seen Wicked for the fourth time, and just finished reading the seventh Harry Potter book for the fifty-fourth time. This is what happens when I get an idea that won't leave me alone in the early hours of the morning. Hope you like it! (In case you aren't good with that thing, the italics are the lyrics for the song.)
Severus Snape walked out of Hogwarts for one peaceful afternoon in the sun. To escape the pressures of his seventh and final year at this school. To try to escape the painful truth of his unwanted love.
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
She could be that girl
But I'm not that boy
Severus looked across the schoolyard, next to the Black Lake. There he saw Lily Evans, the love of his life. Her gorgeous long, red hair flew wildly in the wind, but it made her look even more beautiful. She looked in his direction, and he saw her eyes. Her eyes were a spectacular deep green color. Those were the eyes he looked into, and melted in. Those were the eyes he wanted to see for the rest of his life. Lily didn't see him, and turned back the other way.
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
She could be that girl
I'm not that boy
"LILY!" He yelled, as loud as he could, but she was standing too far away, she didn't hear him. Then James Potter went over to her. She never hears him when James is around. He couldn't look at them. He turned away quickly.
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Then he started to imagine. Imagine a world where he and Lily, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin, could be friends openly. Where they could be more than friends, a place where they could be in love. Where he would kiss her and hold her and love her and protect her. And never let her go. A place where there was no James Potter. He smiled, but was immediately brought back to earth. He knew it could never happen.
Blithe smile, lithe limb
He who's winsome, he wins her
Black hair that sticks up in the back
That's the man she chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that boy
He looked over to where Lily was, hoping that James was gone, but he was not. It was worse. James had pulled Lily into a deep, loving kiss. They broke apart and he pulled her into a passionate hug. Then she jumped onto him, and pushed him to the ground. And they laughed. They were so happy. So unaware that a miserable man was standing there, watching them. So unaware that every moment of their happiness together was tearing him apart. That with every kiss, there was one tear he shed. Because of his lost love.
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
I love her so
I'm not that boy
Severus turned around and walked away. Tears started down his face, but he couldn't let anyone see. He couldn't watch them anymore. The person he loved the most in life and the person he hated most. And then there was him. All alone for with his love for a woman who would never love him back. His love for Lily.
Well... how was it? Press that little bluish-purplish (what color is it really?) button over there and review please. I can take harsh criticism, so give me your worst.
Luv ya'll! Analyse 3
