I am a cynical twat already working on two other stories and I hate myself but I love this idea so please leave reviews , suggestions and tips as well as your thoughts on if I should keep the story going. Thanks for reading !
Severus closed his eyes painfully, he could hear Potter begging for him to stay awake but he just couldn't. His eyelids where heavy, his breathing shallow and the deep bite in his neck stung badly.
"Look at me!" Severus managed to open his eyes wide and looked into Harry's eyes one last time as the boy held him in his arms, why? Why was the boy he taunted and bullied for years cried for him, begged him to stay awake and live? He didn't deserve this, from anyone.
"You have your mother's eyes..." Severus whispered, his voice filled with the pain of all those years, looking into those bright emerald eyes as he felt a tear trickle down his cheek. With one last breath he slowly closed his heavy eyes and let the darkness over take him...
"Daddy! Wake up!" Severus jolted up looking around wildly. He saw a large room , the walls colored a soft blue as the pale morning light filtered in through the thin curtains , there was a wardrobe to the side and a large bookcase practically using up half the wall , it felt warm and comfortable like a home should be , something Severus hadn't felt in years. He felt a small hand tugging at his own and he finally looked down to see an auburn haired girl with soft freckles against her face like constellations , nothing like the Weasley's , she looked elegant and clean with perfectly neat pink pajamas. But her eyes, they were like tunnels, yet they didn't have a cold and empty feeling about them. They were filled with warmth and emotion.
"Are you awake?'' She whispered crossing her arms on the bed and leaning her head on them. Severus wanted to answer back with a sneer but something stopped him and instead he reached over to place a hand on her thick soft auburn hair. He ran his fingers through it before answering.
''Yes...'' she gave him a sweet crooked smile.
''Mummy says pancakes ready...'' The small girl suddenly got up and climbed onto the bed placing a kiss on Severus's forehead before bouncing off running away giggling. Snape felt like melting inside, a warm pleasant feeling grew inside Severus as he stood up and stretched. He had no idea where on earth he was but it felt good to be here, it was clam unlike any other place he had ever been before. And for once in his entire life, it felt like home. But he knew not to get his hopes up, this was perhaps just a lucid dream, his imagination of perfection, of something Severus always wished and wanted. Still he wanted to dream to go on forever so he weighed his options and followed the red headed girl. He poked his head out and looked into a brightly lit hallway. He looked around finding three doors. He hesitated for a moment but walked out and opened the first door to his right, he stopped for a second to make sure there wasn't any movement or sound from the other side and finally opened it completely.
Severus looked around completely engulfed with what he imagined a child's room looked like. A bed practically hidden underneath pillows , stuffed animals and blankets of colors with all shapes. Two walls purple the other pink. A luscious looking baby blanket was spread across the floor. The room itself especially looked clean. He sighed and closed the door and decided to move onto the others as quick as possible. He found out that the one next to the child's room was a bathroom , simple and clean like he liked it. Then finally he moved onto the last , he carefully opened it and was pleased to find an office with a potions brewing station , behind the large stone counter was a wall from the ceiling to the floor the whole thing was filled with bottles of all shapes filled with things of all kinds. Animals , plants , squished and squashed , liquids and powders. He nodded and decided he liked this room. He looked around the room a bit and saw near the desk hanged plenty of pictures some overlapping , again , the drawings of a child. So far of what he could make out they where giant castles , probably a squid , pumpkins and other plants , a person on a broom (he certainly hoped it was) and finally what he saw most three people. One with black hair who looked the most stretched , another with long red hair and finally the smallest person as well with lots of red hair. Or was it pink ?
''Severus darling , whats taking you so long ?'' Severus's heart practically stopped as he turned around slowly , by now he knew he was shaking , he could tell espesically when she ran across the room to grab ahold of Snape before he fell over. But he leaned on the desk for the support as she placed the front-side of her hand on his head to check for a fever.
''Darling whats wrong ? you looked like you've seen a ghost !'' she laughed softly but still held her worried look.
''L-lily ?'' his eyes widened as she nodded. She was starting to sound much more worried then before , no scared was a better word.
''Severus whats wrong , please speak to me''
''Daddy…'' The little girl from before came into view as she walked over slowly and placed her hand on his again. She looked up at him with those dark tunnel like eyes , his eyes , and before you could say 'quidditch' Severus fell over his world , once more , becoming dark again.
''Severus , Severus can you hear me ?'' a familiar voice yelled into his ear.
''Yes , yes you better stop that before I go deaf and I wouldn't be able to anymore !'' he snapped at them before even opening his eyes. Which he did ever so slowly meeting the familiar faces of Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore , but those he still wasn't use to as well such as the girl and Lily , oh Lily , his wonderful and beautiful Lily.
''Severus can you tell me what happened ?'' She asked , everyone looking at him which suddenly made him feel nervous.
''N-no , I-I don't really remember anything , I woke up and I couldn't tell where I was !'' He finally said , Lily looked surprised and frightened as she stood up and got closer grabbing his hand.
''But you remember us right ?'' she asked , there was hope in her eyes that quickly fled once he spoke.
''Of course I remember you and Dumbledore even Poppy but…'' His gaze fell on the girl and the others followed.
''Severus , can you tell us what you remember yesterday ? anything at all'' But to his distaste Snape shook his head again. Lily couldn't help it and let out a low cry so to not worry her daughter.
''This is very peculiar indeed , I think Mr. Snape here should stay at Hogwarts for a few days just so we can do a couple of tests on him , do not fret Lily you will have your husband good as new !'' what ? was Severus simply a toy. He wanted to scowl at Dumbledore's choice of words but decided against it. Lily sighed and looked down at Severus before leaning down to place a kiss on his forehead.
''Rose…'' he whispered before looking at him sadly then back at the girl who seemed to be in her own little world.
''Rose…'' Severus whispered to himself.
