Hey! This is a little story I just wrote for myself but I adapted it for SeverusxLily because I thought it would fit. This is my first Snily so feedback would be much appreciated. Oh, BTW I haven't done much research on Snily. I haven't finished the last book yet so I don't know what Snape does after Lily dies so please bear with me. Like I said, I didn't write this for Snily in the first place.

A horse-drawn carriage drove sullenly past the abandoned house, casting a wash of grey over the pale man in the pathway. Obsidian eyes gazed intently at the dark shapes across the pale concrete as if something lost would be found in its hollow depths.

Simple silhouettes of black warped and stretched across the overgrown garden, creating a rippled appearance. Another shape joined his, forming one amorphous structure seemingly cut out of smoke.

"I miss you," he whispered, eyes of pitch-black not once leaving the matching shadow, "It's so lonely without you. I keep thinking about what you would have done if you were here and-." He couldn't choke out that last phrase, tears threatening to throttle him. A sharp line of light cut between the figures, creating two separate silhouettes, as different as they were similar.

"I'm sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have but I had to. Please, do you forgive me?"

The figure didn't respond but simply stood, virtually motionless.

"If you don't, I don't blame you. I still can't forgive myself. I wish I didn't have to live without you."

The shadow didn't move, only stared blankly.

"It's been 4 months but I'll never give up on you."

The dull orange dimmed as the streetlight behind her flickered along with the silhouettes. Before he could say his final word, the shadows faded and the pathway was plunged into black, no contrast, not a single drop of colour. And when he looked up, she realized he was all alone.

"I still love you, Lily."


Yay! It's done. Minimal editing I hope it's not too OOC. Please R&R and tell me what you think!
