Fragile Winds
Chapter 1
Greasy Bat of the Dungeon
Sadistic Deatheater
Evil Git.....
Keep on saying that and I might just believe that it all I am, a cold emotionless being.... I hear all the whispers and rumours... Hmm I wish I was a vampire then I could hide away from the world... the bright sunlight that exposes all my faults.
Today I can't hide, I can't help but feel, I can't help but shed a tear for a lost dream... A shattered hope for salvation.
Why do I do this to myself??? It's been years, decades almost feels like centuries since I felt human. The day that one stupid mistake cost me my love and my life.
I can't even raise a hand to wipe away the tear rolling down my cheek. Nobody is here in the solitude of the astronomy tower, to see me at my weakest. Here I can finally let my guard down.
Wait...what's that?? Damn that Filch can he not leave me alone to my misery?? Why do students chose this time to go gallivanting around the castle? It's probably Potter and his brainless cronies. I have to go, to get back to being who I am...Professor Severus Alastair Snape
Chapter 2
"Shit shit shiiittt.... why the hell did this seem like a good idea?" Harry asked himself as he navigated through the long and winding passages of Hogwarts.
"I have a mass murdered after me and I am lost in this bloody maze of a castle!! I should have listened to Hermione!" That thought stopped Harry in his tracks "I should have listened to Hermione??? Ron will have a fit if he listens to me saying that" Harry chuckled.
The sound of Filch murmuring to Mrs. Norris stared to get closer. Harry ran down the passage not knowing where he was going. The door opened at the end of the tunnel and... "The astronomy tower!! How the heck did I end up here?" Harry thought. "I guess this is as good as any hide out until Filch gives up"
Harry hid in the corner on the tower for a few minutes admiring the stars until he started by the door opening
"Oh crap, This is even worse than Filch! It had to be bloody Snape... Oh wait it looks like he hasn't seen me.. stay put Harry!"
As quiet as a mouse Harry stood in a dark corner, praying that Snape would go soon. All panic left his body and became replaced by shock as he saw the sight in front of him.
"Hang on, is Snape crying?? He looks so sad, I wonder what happened?" Harry carried on contemplating the shocking vision in front of him. Harry was not a callous boy but somehow Snape never felt like a normal human, worthy... no, above all human emotions. As Harry stood shrouded by the shadows of the astronomy tower, he realised that Snape yes SNAPE was as human as everyone else, with his own issues and capable of deep emotions. As the tear rolled down Snapes' face Harry thought, just for a moment, that maybe he should say something.....
