A Drop in the Ocean- Ron Pope
Severus Snape lay on the hard floor of the boathouse, the icy stones forcing the infinite cold into his bones. Blood bubbled from the wound on his throat to mix with the water splashing on the floor.
This is how it would end. His light would be extinguished; the sound of choppy waves and a faraway battle his only attendants. He was alone. Cautious footsteps neared, a hand grasped his throat. Whoever had come to kill him was too late.
Severus looked up into too familiar eyes. He saw those eyes every night when his closed. Then he noticed the prominent forehead scar. This was not Lily. Harry Potter was talking, but Severus couldn't understand a word the boy uttered.
He was too busy focusing on the other person in the room. She knelt beside him, her red hair a silky curtain draped over her shoulder. Her hand held his tightly, lending him some of the warmth that she had always possessed.
"I've been waiting for you, Sev," Lily whispered into his ear.
Memories flowed through his mind, his entire life dripping down his cheeks.
After the Potter boy had gathered them, he looked into the eyes that had haunted him since childhood. Lily's eyes.
Lily smiled and rested her head on Severus's chest, gently humming as he closed his eyes.
When he reopened them, they were no longer in the dirty boathouse. Instead, Severus found himself lying in a field. Flowers tickled his arms as the breeze sent them dancing.
"Severus! Where are you?"
Sitting up, he searched around him to find the source of the voice.
Over the sea of grass, he noticed two men standing a few feet away. They were both dressed formally, lapels decorated with a single white flower. When they noticed him, they came closer.
"Hurry up! We're going to be late!"
Severus stood, brushing off the dirt and accepting the proffered evening coat.
They came to an army of people standing in a circle. He was pushed to the center as soft music started.
The crowd parted to reveal a woman with bubblegum pink hair being escorted by a thin, scruffy man. They kissed then separated, the man coming to stand behind Severus. Another couple followed, the young man's flaming ginger hair clashing with the young lady's pale purple dress and blonde curls. More people came to stand on either side of Severus, all smiling.
Suddenly, it seemed as if everyone stopped breathing. Severus looked up and nearly fell over. A vision in white was coming towards him, the form obscured by a veil. Pale hands clutched a small bouquet of white flowers.
The person stopped in front of him and lifted the veil. Red locks curled around rosy cheeks, emerald eyes drawing him in.
"I've been waiting for you, Sev," Lily smirked.
She took his hand as Dumbledore cleared his throat behind the couple as if asking to start.
Severus smiled, the twinkle in his eye almost matching the one in Albus's.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join Severus Snape and Lily Evans in holy matrimony."
