Snape walked in the room, and first thing he saw was her. She lookes stunning in her strapless red floor length dress and her hair pulled back in a elegant twist. His heart hurt at the painful memories that seeing her caused, and he regretted everything he ever did to her.

I think you can do much better than me

After all the lies that I made you believe

Guilt kicks in and I start to see

The edge of the bed where your nightgown used to be

He walked into his empty flat and the emptyness hit him harder than ever. She lingered in his mind, even after he drank away his pain with fire whiskey. As he went to bed, he noticed, like every night, that her former side of the bed was looking emptier and colder.

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

He fought the battle with his heart, but he just couldn't quit missing her. He could still feel her, even though she had been gone for almost two years now.

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

He loved her hair, even when it was all wild and crazy. He had always woken up and her hair would be splayed out around her and on his face. She always tasted like chocolate and innocence. She was perfect and he had ruined his only chance at happiness.

While looking through your old box of notes

I found those pictures I took that you were looking for

He found pictures he took about three years ago. She was all smiling and happy, before the storm. She looked serene and young, just like she should have stayed.

If there's one memory I don't want to lose

That time at the mall

You and me in the dressing room

She took him to a muggle mall once, and laughed when she went to try on some clothes. He had followed her into the dressing room, and they had their way with each other.

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

He still feels guilty as he walks into the ministry, for the annual Christmas masquerade ball. He pulled on his mask, just in time to see a vision in purple. He fixed the mask to where he could see and saw her walk right into a raven haired man's embrace.

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

Words rushed through his head as he thought of a way to tell her his feelings. He walked up on the stage and requested the mike. As the ball goers looked up at him, he caught her eye. He started to speak:

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder

Wish I'd never would've said its over

And I can't pretend

I won't think about you when I'm older

Cause we never really had our closure

This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

As she walked away with tears in her eyes, he noticed that her escort was walking towards him. As the younger man was talking to him, he realized that all of this had been set up. As he walked away to find her, she came up behind him and out her hand on his shoulder. As he turned around to face her, he said:

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

"I know. That's why I'm giving you a second chance."

As they walked away hand in hand, he realized just how much he had missed her, even though he still thought she could do better than him. He knew he would always and forever love Hermione Granger, no matter how much it hurt him to get her back.
