Thunder boomed and lightning crashed, and yet most were asleep. Most was not all and not all means that a sparse few were awake... For example, the potions master at Hogwarts, Severus Snape, was quietly brooding in his office...
Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her
His dear crush, Lily Evans...
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her
The play the school had seen together was starting to have its toll on him, he was tired but one song haunted him...
From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come
Who has her eyes
He did not know a girl with his heart's desire's eyes... But he did know a certain boy...
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl
And miss those hazel eyes?
Albus Dumbledore knew about his poor student's heartache. He was the only one who knew why he hated poor Harry so much, it was hard for both. Severus had said to him after the first day he had met the boy
'He has her eyes... But he looks like HIM. He is a combination of whom I have only loved and the person I hated most... I almost pity how I feel I will react to the boy...'
Dumbledore was always saddened by the relationship between the two of them...
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?
Lily's eyes were not hazel, but the brightest green. But she did turn away from him, left him to rot in a sense... He was haunted every time he saw Potter, and from the first time he saw him he wanted to shrivel up and die...
Oh If Lily Had Known...
In Lily's eyes a castle
This house seemed to be
And I, the bravest knight became
My lady fair was she
He was her friend before she knew about magic, he was the one to lead her to this school. Once she was here, he had an overwhelming urge to protect her...
Oh how foolish, blind, and loving he was...
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed to hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes
Sadly from the day she met James Potter there was no longer a chance to be with her... She was as madly in love with him as he had been with her...
It looked like Severus never really had a chance, no girl would follow the path of a Slytherin if they were not one themselves...
Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God have let her stay
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago
(Those eyes that first I loved so)
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be in love
Be alive and whole
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
Severus' hands guided themselves to cheekbones and eyebrows. He shook silently with anger and resentment and eventually sorrow...
He had hoped that one day, Lily might have seen him staring from afar... Would have seen the emotion he kept to himself... Would have-
Now it was all over, she was gone.
He now had no friends, no love, nothing good came from her and her family...
His shoulders sagged and his breath came in quiet hiccups, tears slid down his face... He shuffled into his routine and was eventually in bed...
He closed his eyes to only see green staring back...
Hopefully green eyes would not haunt him forever...
