"Isn't it beautiful?" Snape whispered, lightly stroking the back of his patronus. "Isn't it...isn't she lovely?"

"Oh, Severus," Lily breathed. The silver doe turned to and started to nuzzle her hand. It's movements were slow and graceful; it was walking on air, it's delicate hooves barely trimming the grass below it. The soft silver glow that surrounded it's bluish-white body was warm to her touch and seemed to drive away the wintry coldness of the night.

"I...I-I used my memory of you," Snape said. "W-When we first met...On the swings, with your sister, do you remember?"

Lily's green eyes were bright and glistening.

"Oh...Oh, Severus!" she cried, flinging her arms around him. "That's...that's..."

Snape smiled, wrapping his arms around her to hug her back.
