Hey everyone. This story was written for both October Writing Club's Count Your Button, and Halloween Bingo on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For Count Your Buttons I used the Pairing prompt 3. Amycus/Severus. For Halloween Bingo I used the 62. "What's the worst that can happen?". I hope you all enjoy Amycus's Broken Heart.
"I don't think this is such a good idea, Amycus," his sister Alecto says as she watches Amycus watch Severus Snape interact with Lily Evans. "You'll end up hurting him more than you want to."
"That's not true," Amycus laughed at his siter's thoughts. "Plus he's throwing his life away on that Evans girl."
"You only think that because you think he should be with you, Am. Maybe you should just let him go and see if Severus comes to you of his own accord. It's the only way you will know it he truly loves you."
Amycus rolled his eyes as thought though his plan again. He'd let slip where Severus and Lily would be meeting and hoped that word would get back to Potter and his crew. Once his Severus made the mistake of getting angry and saying something rude or discriminatory, like Amycus knew he would, Lily Evans would never want to speak to him again. Then Amycus could swoop in and pick up the pieces of Severus's broken heart. Maybe he'd even end up bedding the other boy.
"What's the worst that can happen?" Amycus muttered to himself as he watched Potter and his crew walked towards tree where Severus and Evans were reading.
He couldn't hear much of what was going on from this distance but he knew that his plan was working so far. He watched as Lily Evans ran past his hiding place in tears. Now he would make his move. Now he would make his Severus see reason and maybe the boy would return his love. He walked towards Severus seeing the boy hunched over shoulders shaking with all the crying he was doing.
"Do you want to talk about it, Sev?" he asks sitting next to the boy. He's so close that he can feel the heat of the other boy's body. His arm goes around the other boy's shaking shoulder after Severus shakes his head. "Maybe you and Evans weren't meant to be?"
"What do you mean, Am?" Severus's voice sounds tired and teary. The humilation must still to be to fresh for him to see anything but it. "How could Lily and I not be meant to be?"
"Maybe you're meant to be with someone else?"
"Like who, Am? After what Potter and his little group of harpies did I'd be surprised if any girl would look at me at all."
"Maybe the person you're meant to be with is closer than you think?"
Severus is about question him further when Amycus builds his courage and presses his lips to the other boy's in a passionate kiss. He feels Severus struggle against him and wonders when the other boy will understand that they are meant to be.
"I love you, Sev," Amycus murmurs against his lips.
"I love Lily," Severus tells him and walks away leaving Amycus the one with the broken heart.
I hope you all enjoyed Amycus's Broken Heart.
