Chapter 10, Severus
Severus was very angry. He knew that it would be wrong to tell Lily about her being a witch, but he never thought it would lead to her running away.
Severus knew full well what it felt like to be mistreated, he had been all nine years of his life, and he had thought about running away too. But he had never had the courage to leave his home. He knew there was something special about Lily, more special than just being a witch. She was brave and courageous. Some humans are brave but they can't get very far, because they are, well, human. But a witch with the courage that Lily had, well, he knew that she would go down in wizard history, he just didn't know if she would end up being the hero or the villain.
Whatever she ended up being, Snape hoped that he would be with her. He wanted to be just like her.
Snape had felt lonely ever since Lily left. Even though he hadn't talked to her much before (well actually he never talked to her), she felt like a friend to him even though she was yelling the whole time. And it was a nice feeling. Nobody in his life had ever been nice to him. His mother and father were never much of parents- his mom was never home, and his dad had serious drinking problems.
Before Lily had run away, he had hoped that he could have a friend that was like him. He should have known that that wouldn't have worked out. Nothing ever went right for him.
