Always
A/N: My heart is absolutely breaking at the news of Alan Rickman's passing. So here is my Snape/Lilly One Shot. Rest in Peace Alan 3
He felt himself let go, knowing he had given Harry all the answers he would need to help him make his last stand. Darkness enveloped him and he knew he was dead. But from the darkness a voice whispered, barely above a whisper but clear as a summer day.
"Severus..." It called.
He tried to move towards it but he was lost in the darkness. It felt like he was running in sand, all the effort but it got him no where at first. Then a sliver of light, no bigger then a pin prick pierced the darkness. He moved towards to slowly but surely all while the lovely voice kept calling to him.
"Severus, come..."
He recognized the voice now and his heart urged him to move faster. "Lilly..." He breathed.
The light became closer, brighter and he could feel her heart just beyond that light. He just needed to reach her and this time, nothing would stand in his way. He fought and fought through the tangled darkness and reached the source of the light, A great wooden door with the light pouring out of a single key hole. He opened the door and was blinded by the purest light he had ever seen. It's warmth and love surrounded him like a gentle hug. It was only a few moments later that the hug he assumed was in his mind was real.
"Severus..."
"Lilly!" He said happily looking down at the beautiful woman he loved. He sobbed gently and held her tightly in his arms. "Oh how I have missed you...I am so sorry..."
Lilly pulled back from his chest to look at him for the first time is so many years. "You have nothing to apologize for, it was meant to be like this."
"I haven't done anything noble, not enough to honor you." He said.
She laughed, "My dearest Severus, you have honored me everyday. You have touched so many lives and you watched over Harry." She stood up on her toes and kissed him gently. "Come... you have earned a place beside me...I love you Severus. I have..."
"Always." The said in unison.
