A/N Yes, I know it's very short, but I didnt' want to add anything that wasn't in the book- yet I really wanted to write this. So here is my Snape one-shot!

Disclaimer: I own no part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. That belongs to J.K. Rowling.


I raise my wand, my mind racing. "My Lord!"

"It cannot be any other way," Voldemort says to me, his eyes cold. "I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last." He moves

his wand though the air and I flinch-but nothing happens, He's not going to kill me, yet. I immediately breathe and try to calm myself down.

That's when Nagini's cage traps me. I yell out but I know it's no use-this is it.

"I love you Lily Evans," I whisper and then the snake is on me. Never in my life have I felt such excruciating pain. My head goes cloudy but I still feel the fangs

piercing though my neck. Within moments I haven't the strength to stand and I collapse to the ground. Voldemort says something to Nagini but I cannot hear it.

My vision blurs in and out as he and Nagini leave. I fall to my side and limply to cover up the hole in my neck which is gushing blood so powerfully that I

know my time is almost up.

Then suddenly there he is-Harry Potter-walking toward me and looking at me with her eyes. He crouches down and with the strength I have left I grasp his

robes and start to let my memories flow out of me. It's time for him to know.

"Take…it…Take…it…" Hermione Granger hands him a flask and I watch as he begins to collect what I have left for him.

I cannot hold on any longer and my grip on Lily-Harry loosens. With my last ounce of strength, I whisper softly to him. I need to see her eyes one last time.

"Look…at…me…" His green eyes meet mine and I see her smile, her beauty and her love.

The green turns to white and I die thinking one thought.

Always.
