Severus Snape sat in his office, grading papers.
"Potter... D."
He finished then stacked them up. He stood up and walked out of his office and up to the entrance hall. He walked to the window and stared at it.
"You're lucky Evans was here to help you." the cruel voice of James Potter rang out.
"I don't need help from Mudbloods like her!" his own voice, a little higher echoed.
"Fine. I won't help in the future..." her soft sweet voice, contorted with coldness, rang and echoed through his mind.
'"Why'd I do it?"
He started to walk away when he heard voices. He glanced out the window and his breath caught,his face paled, and his blood icy.
It was them. James and Lily?
'Their dead...'
The redhead held his hand. Then she turned, and Snape saw that that she had brown eyes, not Lily's green ones. It was the Weasley girl with Harry Potter.
He walked back to his office then grabbed his wand.
'Lily...'
"Expecto Patronum!"
The silver doe shot out his wand, blinking it's large eyes at him.
"After all this time, Severus?" Albus Dumbledore's voice rang.
"For Lily... Always."
