PROLOGUE
"It cannot be other way," drawled Voldemort, very slowly, as if taking his time for the meaning of his words to properly sink into Severus. "I must the master the Wand, Severus. Master the Wand, and I master Potter at last."
Now it is time, thought Severus. He would have never imagined to live through the war, and now it was finally time. Time to end the living hell of his life. Despite his false expression of fear he put on in front to deceive the Dark Lord for the one last time, Severus felt a strange tranquility—finally he would be free. Free of all the duties Albus Dumbledore had irresponsibly left behind, free of all the sins he had committed…
Severus expected to see green light but none came.
Just then he heard a familiar hissing sound of the Dark Lord. A sharp epiphany came. Of course, the bastard won't even allow me a quick, painless death. Of course he was one hell of a bastard to never care what painful death one had to face; his most faithful servant, or not. Severus felt a flood of emotion come and go inside him. For this Lord Disgusting Voldemort, he had dedicated his life. And everything was ruined. Everything…everything that could have gone just fine… Severus Snape was a man who rarely wallowed in self pity. For all he knew, the pathetic act only weakened him. But he couldn't help it when he was sure his life would be sure to end in no more than few minutes… Severus closed his eyes.
He heard the hissing sound of Nagini and not more than a second later, he felt Nagini's fangs cutting through the soft skin of his neck. Severus groaned lowly in pain. He felt warm blood of his literally pouring out from his neck.
"I regret it."
Voldemort hissed once again and Nagini followed him.
Lord fucking Voldemort, Severus thought. His vision was blurring and his constant Occlumency barrier he put on dissipated as he thought something he so wanted to think in front of the Dark Lord. I am so glad I don't have to grovel under your disgusting existence anymore… You were one big pain in the arse… Go to Hell…
Severus almost wished Voldemort would throw the one last glance at Severus and find out through the weakened Occlumency barriers that he had been deceived right under his nose for almost two decades…but to Severus' disappointment, Voldemort was the exact cold-blooded bastard that had no compassion.
Then from one wall stepped out Harry and Hermione.
Severus was rapidly losing his strength but thankfully, his mind was still working.
He carefully pulled out the memories that Harry had to see. As silvery lines emerged from Severus' head, Severus could find no emotion from Harry while Hermione looked horrified.
"Look…at me…" Severus nothing but whispered.
Then he saw.
Severus had always thought that despite its results, the color of the Killing Curse seemed strangely warm and inviting… He never figured out why and now he finally did.
It was color of Lily's eyes…
As he stared into the emerald green, Severus recalled the last time he ever saw Lily.
A/N : Sorry for short one, but it's only a prologue...;) Leave a review for me and brighten up my day!
