Oct 20th: Secret Crush
Pairing: Severus Snape & Lily Evans
Length: Single Drabble
Always
Lily was his best friend.
As children, she brightened up his dark days with her eager and playful companionship.
At Hogwarts...even after they had been sorted into rival houses…her comforting presence made the harassment of her fellow Gryffindors bearable.
Over the years, his Housemates' increasing disapproval of them no longer mattered once she smiled warmly at him.
…
Yes, Lily was his best friend.
It would have been so much easier on Severus if he could have been satisfied with that.
Nevertheless, he could not help but to love her...always...even though she did not feel the same.
