Hogwarts, the Great Hall, 7:13 p.m: Dinner time.
Severus Snape;
Those blasted Marauders! I've done nothing, yet they won't quit bullying me! Lilly tries to make them stop, but none of them listen. Since we met on the train in our first year, it's been nothing but embarrassment and hatred I've gained because of them. I look over at Lilly, she smiles at me. I admit I love Lilly, but I know she doesn't love me...
Owls. Two great big black owls, ministry owls, with yellow papers, fly into the Great Hall. Everyone freezes. Knowing what those papers are, and who the unfortunate soul to receive them is, well we hope it's not us.
The Owls part ways, one heading towards Gryffindor, another towards Slytherin. I look panicked at Lilly, knowing my sister was in the war, and so was her brother. But they wrote us just last week, why would we receive the letters. I watch the owl fly towards my table, towards my end of the table, it drops the letter in front of me. I stare at it. The black writing, declaring the news, blurs. "Dear Mr. Severus Snape, we are sorry to inform you that, Harriet Tristan Snape, was captured in battle last week, and we regret to inform you that she has been declared dead. The Ministry asks you to come and sign the death certificate. Thank you, we are sorry for your loss; The Ministry of Magic"
I hear a scream, one I know all to well. Lilly, she received the letter. I look up at her tears in my eyes, she wails, clutching the paper. The Slytherins laugh, I feel a boiling, a heat in my head, before I sat d up and roar at them "HOW DARE YOU! SHE JUST LOST HER BROTHER AND YOU LAUGH! I JUST LOST MY SISTER! ARE THE GRYFFINDORS LAUGHING? NO! NOW SHUT UP BEFORE I CURSE YOU TO THE PITS OF HELL!" Everyone is silent in the hall as stare at me in shock. I run out of the hall with tears coursing down my face. I hear Lilly run after me, Potter screaming for her. I run to the Owlery, I fall against the wall. Lilly slides down next to me, I wrap my arms around her. "They're gone" she whispers.
