"Day of" challenge for #4. anyone's induction into the Death Eaters (guess who?)
Based on characters created by J. K. Rowling.
The Induction
"Lily, Lily, wait," he was running, his loose fitting black robes flapping making him look like an oversized bat. "It's not what you think. Stop!"
Lily Evans didn't stop; she couldn't. She had just seen the beginning of the dark ceremony. She couldn't believe her friend, was going to become a death eater!
"Leave me alone, Sev. I can't talk to you right now."
Suddenly she stopped and turned. "How could you, Sev? You of all people. I thought you were my friend!"
Her tone angered him. What made her so high and mighty? She should be proud of him that the Dark Lord himself had chosen him.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the closet.
"I'll scream" She said.
"No you won't," he spat. "You should be happy for me, the Dark Lord chose me personally. You have no idea what an honor that is." He forced her to look at him.
"Please don't do this." She begged. "You're not evil, Sev." She timidly touched his chest. "You're heart is so big. You can't prefer evil. You're so good. I've loved you for so long. Don't do this, Sev. Please." She wanted to touch his face, but the once kind face was no longer his. It was gone forever, replaced by the evil sneer. He'd never lover her now. Fat tears rolled down her cheeks. He released her and she ran from the closet sobbing.
He would forget about her. His new life would replace his tortured and teased life. No one would ever make fun of him again. Not with Lord Voldemort on his side.
Joining Lord Voldemort was clearly the best option for him. Lily was right about one thing, his heart was big, but it was broken beyond repair.
He stood tall and silent as the Dark Lord carved his mark into his flesh. This was the end of Severus Snape, dreamer and beginning of Severus Snape, Death Eater.
