She loved him.

She admired him.

She loathed him.

She could stare at those black coal eyes for hours on end, wanting to unravel his dark past and mysteries that he kept locked behind that closed door. She admired his bravery and courage for what he did to protect her and her friends. She loathed him for his bitterness towards her and how he still thinks of her as a child and not a young woman.

She loved him for who he was. He was the bravest man she ever knew.

Severus Tobias Snape is the bravest man in the world.
