Disclaimer: ARG! Uhhh....J.K Rowling's characters belong to her, Kate Zephrem, Aranel Erin Snape, Emrissa and this idea/plot are mine.




In the end, Lucius had been brutally beaten to death by Severus and Macnair had stumbled onto one of his own knives in confusion. Severus stood alone, the butterflies had gone and the wheelchair tipped over on its side. He noticed the large red stains in the ground and realized it was his blood. He picked up the remnants of his wand.

"Why does everything have to go wrong?" he snarled, the old Snape coming back.

He felt a weight on his bloody shoulder and looked at it. A small butterfly perched ontop of it, flapping its wings slowly.

"What are you doing here, get off with the rest of your friends" he said in a nasty way.

He limped from the area to find that the butterfly was still ontop of his shoulder. Being too angry and hurt, he didn't pay any attention to it and apparated near school grounds. He almost collapsed before reaching Hogwarts and made way to his lab. He cast the few healing spells he knew and drank two potions before feeling a little better. He shed his bloody robes and donned new ones, an orange blur moved from his shoulder to his desk. He sat down, looking at the butterfly.

"What do you want from me? To torment me about Kate?" he shouted.

"Is that it?" he grew angry and pounded the table.

The butterfly launched itself into the air and fell into his ink well.

"Stupid thing" he muttered and pull it out.

It set itself upon flying in strange patterns on his desk and when it was done, stood at the edge, waiting for Severus.

"Emm...Ee" he said, reading the letters.

He looked from the butterfly to the table, then back, then did it again.

"I don't believe it" he said to himself.

"You're Kate, aren't you?" he asked the butterfly.

It hovered, level to his face.

"You stupid stupid girl!" he yelled suddenly.

The butterfly backed away quickly.

"You tried to turn yourself into an Animagus, and you don't know how to turn back!" he grasped the meaning of all the books she wanted from him and the butterfly lowered its antennae in an embarrassed sort of way.

His anger faded away as he let Kate hop onto his finger.

"You are a very stupid girl" he said in good humor.

She stuck her curled tongue out and he smirked.

"People are going to think I'm crazy you know" he said as he set Kate onto his shoulder.

She waved her antennae up and down in agreement.

"And you don't mind at all...that's just like you."

"Butterflies don't live very long you know, you could've been a better animal"

She seemed to mentally shrug, 'as long as I'm happy' was her supposed answer and he walked out, the limp still with him from the recent wound.

"I think I need to pick some flowers for you"
