Snow

Lily loved just laid snow. She loved the way it covered the grounds at Hogwarts. She loved the way it made everything seem brighter. She hated muddy shoes. It only took one pair of muddy shoes to shatter the pure, perfect, snowy, white illusion.

Her favorite memory was at Christmas time. She was thirteen. It had begun to snow at dawn on Christmas morning. She wore a pretty red night gown and had just started on her presents. The doorbell rang and went to answer it. There was no one there and not even a trail of footsteps in the snow. She looked down and saw a box of chocolates. A single lily laid on top of it. She picked up the small card and read. Merry Christmas Lily. Love, Sev.

Her favorite thing to do was to make snowmen. Her first year at Hogwarts brought a very snowy winter. She woke up before everybody else to get the smooth, soft, untouched snow all to herself. She gathered her little black buttons, carrot, hat, and scarf. She picked up two thin but sturdy branches on her walk across the grounds. She settled at a little area by a big oak tree. She carefully and neatly made her snowman. She added the buttons, and hat, and scarf to its body. She looked down for her carrot but it wasn't there. She heard soft snow crunching beneath the weight of boots. She looked up and saw Severus adding the carrot nose to the snowman. It was the best one she ever made.

Lily loved Severus. She loved the way he was diligent and so much like her. She loved the way he made her laugh and the way her genuinely cared about her. She hated arrogance and people who believe they were superior. It only took one word to ruin her pure, untainted, perfect, image of him. Mudblood.
