This is my first fan-fic. I hope you like it. I do not own Snape or any other HP charecters but Daisy, Samuel and Jacob are my own creations.

Severus Snape had just gotten home for the summer. It had been a long year at Hogwarts, with the Tri-Wizard Tournament and that boy, Cedric dying. He was very tired and stressed. The last thing he wanted to do was errands but he was out of food. On his way to the grocer he heard commotion coming from the old playground, the one he and Lily used to hang out at.

"Daisy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to call you a 'stupid bitch', can't you forgive me?" Snape stopped in his tracks. This scene sounded too familiar. He took a peek over the bushes. A young boy about ten dressed in a pair of jeans that looked two sizes too big and an old shirt was pleading with a girl about the same age. She was crying and was walking away from the boy.

"I'm sorry Samuel, I can't. Not anymore. I've always made exceptions for you. But I don't know why I even hang out with you anymore." She picked up a bag and started to exit the park. Another boy piped up, "Yeah, why don't you just leave her alone."

The girl, Daisy, went up to the second boy and punched him in the face. "Jacob, just because, I'm not friends with Samuel any more doesn't mean I like you!" She left. "Oh God," Snape thought. This scene was a near exact repeat of what happened between him and Lily all those years ago. He couldn't let that same thing happen to that little boy.

Jacob had Sammy by his collar. His fist was cocked and Sammy's eyes were closed waiting for the punch. Next thing he knew, Snape found himself walking into the park. He stood right over Jacob, and spoke, "Why don't you let the boy go?" Jacob turned around and took one look at Snape. "Sorry, sir," he said in a meek voice. He dropped Sammy's collar and ran out of the park.

"Are you okay?" Snape asked crouching down near Sammy. He nodded. "Thank you," he muttered and started to leave, "I've got to go find Daisy and apologize." He looked around. "Did you see where she went? Daisy? She just she has pretty blue eyes and black hair?"

"I think she went to the right," Snape said. The boy nodded at him and turned to leave but before he did he turned to Snape and asked, "Why did you help me?" Snape sighed. "The same thing happened to me when I was young."

"Really?" Sammy looked at him with hopeful eyes. "Did she forgive you?" Snape looked down. He didn't have the heart to tell this boy the truth. "Don't worry," Snape said, "She'll forgive you." The boy turned around and ran out of the park.

Snape walked over to a bench and thought to himself, "She won't forgive you. She'll hate you for the rest of her life. She'll marry the boy who teased you and you'll always regret this day because no matter what you'll always love her. Always."
