p style="text-align: left;"Like flowers all things wilt away except for love. Severus Snape knew this better then anyone who had ever been at hogwarts and will ever be at hogwarts. Everything dies down slowly including life and he had been prepared to protect the precious flower of his with his life. He knew this since he met her before they had even got to Hogwarts. Lily Evans was his flower and he loved her dearly./p
