Severus's memories
He rushed over to the pensive and placed the single tear on the pensive. He couldn't be dead, he thought. Lily was eleven and Severus was eleven as we. They were in a park close by.
As he placed his head over his pensive the area began to fade into Severus's memories. He noticed Lily and Severus there lying on the ground, he was staring at Lily.
"Do I have something at my face?" She asked being a bit confused.
Severus just shook his head. "You look perfect." He blushed.
Lily giggled. "Are there others like us?" She asked nervously.
Severus placed his hand over hers gently. "Of course there are! There is a school, called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that would teach us how to use our powers carefully..." Severus explained.
Lily nodded then looked at her sister who was sitting on the swing. "She thinks I'm a freak, do those people don't like us? "She asked one more question.
Severus sighed. "You're going to have to keep this quiet. They are muggles. They don't have powers like us, therefore they are jealous..." He explained. He wanted to lean towards her and kiss her.
Harry was watching. How could he have not known this? He shook his head trying to listen in.
The memory faded and they were in school. Lily was in Gryffindor and Severus was in Slytherin. They were still friends but every day Severus started to grow more in love with lily. He had to be with her. He just needed her.
One day during his fourth year at Hogwarts he had the Yule Ball. He wanted to take lily. He didn't really care for James. He hoped to find her in the library. He rushed over to Lily. He smiled hen sat down next to her. He tapped her shoulder lightly to get her to look at him. She jumped then looked at Severus and smiled.
"Severus!" She said happily then hugged him. "How are you? It's been a long while since we have talked. I'm sorry for that..." Lily sighed then looked into Severus's eyes gently.
"I'm good and you? Lily, I was wondering. So you have a date to the Yule Ball? I was hoping to take you..." He said with hope. He smiled
"Oh, Severus!" I would love to go with you, but James has asked me..." She frowned then looked at the ground and sighed.
Severus sighed heavily. "Okay. I guess I won't be going then..." He said then started to leave.
"Wait, Severus..." Lily then then rushed towards him. She hugged him then leaned to kiss him on the cheek. She smiled slightly. "Meet me after the ball... So we can hang out..." She said with her adorable smile.
Severus blushed and nodded. He couldn't move... "I-I-I'll see you after the dance." He managed to say with a smile.
Then the memory faded once more and now it was after the Yule Ball. He waited for her by the library. He'd figured that they would meet there. Then after ten minutes of waiting for Lily Evens he noticed her walked by with her dress she wore that evening. He was shocked of how beautiful she looked. He bit his lip. "You look amazing…" Severus said then rushed over to hug her.
Lily blushed at the compliment that he'd made. "Thank you…" She said then looked into his eyes. She didn't realized how handsome he looked at that moment. "Severus… I wanted to tell you how sorry I am. You'd thought we'd be best friends during Hogwarts. I wished I could take everything back for what happened between you and James, and the fact that I'm a Gryffindor now. I-"She blushed, but then Severus leaned towards her to kiss her to shut her up. When he stopped she wanted to kiss him more so she pulled him close to her. "I have wanted you to kiss me, Severus… Why haven't you before?" She asked curiously.
Severus bit his lip. "I um, because of James Potter, he's been bullying me all those years, and I never got a chance to ask you out. I was afraid." He said feeling ashamed of himself.
The memory faded. They were standing near the black lake this time. Severus was holding hands with Lily and looked at her with a smile. They looked like they were in their seventh year this time. He leaned towards her to kiss her gently on the lips. "Why are we keeping our relationship a secret?" He asked curiously.
Lily blushed as she heard him say this question. She placed her hand gently on his cheek. "Severus, because… I have a reputation, and so do you. We just have this year, why can't you be happy that we're together?" She asked curiously.
"I want to be seen with you, I would want to be able to meet your parents, or the other way around. Do you know that I – I love you?" Lily was shocked when she heard him say those three words.
Then the memory faded. "We can't tell anyone that this is our child. I'm with James now, Severus. Just be happy that we have a child together." Lily said as she put their ten month baby on the crib.
Severus frowned. "I want people to know, that Harry Snape, is our child. Why can't that be possible?" He started to yell.
"Shh…Severus, please, you'll wake up Harry. "I've told you why millions of times, hunnie, because I'm with James. I love him. I can never be with you again." She said.
Then Harry was by himself in the room. They knew and they never said anything? He was shocked. He knelt on to the floor not able to move. His eyes were still wide from being in shock. How could this have been true? No, he did not want to accept this. He wanted to accept that James Potter was his father, not Severus. He knew? And he never said anything? After all those year of suffering that he's lost his parents. All those times that he could've parented him. Did Albus Dumbledore know? Did all the other teachers know? He shook his head. No. No. No.
