A/N: Hello! I've taken text directly out of the book, mostly the dialogue, and I want you to know that it's not mine. If it were, Severus would not have died!!!
"You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?" I was horrified! The thought-did Dumbledore use everybody like this? Or just the ones he particularly cared for?
"Don't be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die." No, Severus, don't think about that. Don't think about their faces, their pleads, their screams…
"Lately, only those whom I could not save," Inwardly I snorted at those words-those whom I could not save encompassed nearly everyone I came across. I stood, warning in my eyes. "You have used me."
"Meaning?" The old fool! What does he think I mean?
"I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to keep Lily Potter's son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for the slaughter—" The very thought! Lily's son, good only as some sort of weapon, to be used and then thrown away!
"But this is touching Severus," The old coot had lost the twinkle in his eyes-I hadn't seen it since before the ring. "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?" My eyes widen in shock.
"For him?" I shouted. How could Albus even think such a thing. "Expecto patronum!" Out of my wand leapt gracefully the silver doe, the only remnant of Lily I had. It was beautiful, shining as it bounded out the window. I watched it soar away, feeling as thought a part of me went with it.
"After all this time?" Albus asked, his eyes gleaming with tears.
"Always." I say quietly, barely more than a whisper. But in my mind, it echoes with a resounding firmness. Always! Always and forever will I love you, Lily. I'm only waiting for the time when I can see you again…
