Chapter 9
Death of a Loved One
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any related material. I only own my own characters: Sarah Snape, Marcaus Snape, Severa Snape, Ruby, Lilly Potter, the Powers, and Kris Black. I got the lyrics for the song Snape sings from www.animelyrics.com and the song itself is from Saber Marionette J. It is I'll Be There by Megumi Hayashibara. I got the name "Cruel Angel's Thesis" from the Evangelion opening song.
There was no sign of Lilly for a long time. Snape wasn't teaching. Harry had a feeling that Snape wouldn't leave Lilly's side. McGonagall was once in a while gone. But she remained mainly teaching.
Kris Black got stuck cleaning bathrooms as her punishment. Sirius was teaching potions, so everything was easier on the Gryffindors.
Harry decided after his classes were he would see Lilly.
"Harry! Snape will kill you if you go near here," Hermione said.
"I don't care!" Harry said.
For the first time in his life, Ron agreed with Hermione. Sarah could visit Lilly all she wanted. Marcaus could do the same. Kris was too busy finishing up her detention.
They walked down the hallway.
"Wait up!" said a voice behind them.
They turned around. It was Kris.
"I have to apologize to her, you know," Kris said.
They continued walking. Harry slowly opened the Hospital Wing door. Lilly was in the bed nearest to the door. Her hair was all over the bed. She looked paler than usual. There was a thirty and half year old man beside her. He had big brilliant green eyes, long clean black hair that came to his shoulders, a straight nose, and pale skin. He started to sing to Lilly. Harry learned from Sarah that he was singing in Japanese.
"That's Snape!" Kris said, "He's was using the same spell as Professor McGonagall had on herself. So that is his true form"
"ureshii koto tanoshii koto
takusan issho ni shiyou
tsunaida te to te ni
kawasarete'ru yakusoku"
Snape sang in a middle voice. It wasn't high or low but in the middle. He sang quite well.
"Let's do lots of
happy things and fun things together.
Linked hand in hand
Exchanging promises" Sarah translated.
"sabishii toki setsunai toki
hitori de ochikomanai de
kimi no soba ni boku
kanarazu iru kanjite"
"When you're lonely, when you're hurting
don't face your sorrow alone.
Know that I'll always
be there with you, without fail."
"tsuyoi koto wa taisetsu da ne
dakedo namida mo hitsuyou sa
KARAKARA kawaita kokoro ja
nanimo dekinai yo
nanimo kanjirarenai"
"Strength is a very important thing,
but you need tears too.
With a parched, dried-up heart,
you can't do anything at all;
you can't feel a thing."
"hito wa naze doushite
hontou no kimochi wo tojikomeru no
dekiru koto yaritai koto
ippo-zutsu arukeba ii
PUROGURAMU sareta ikikata ni
nagasanai kimi ga suki
doko made mo tsuite-yuku yo
kono te zutto zutto hanasanai"
"Tell me, why do people
hide what they really feel inside?
Take what you can do, what you want to do,
one step at a time.
I love the way you don't care
how you have been programmed to live.
I would follow you anywhere.
I will never, ever, let go of you."
"WAKUWAKU suru suteki na koto
dondon fuyashite-yukou
hikiau chikara wo
shinjirareru sunao ni"
"I love this excitement;
let's make it grow.
I can honestly believe
in this power I see."
"KISU wo shiyou dakishimeyou
nukumori wo kanjiaou
kotoba wa iranai
atsui omoi kanjiru"
"Let's kiss. Let's hold each other.
Let's feel each other's warmth
We don't need words
We can feel the passion."
"deau tame ni umareta n' da
totemo nagai toki wo koete
DOKIDOKI mawari-hajimeta
kokoro wo ima sara
daremo tomerarenai yo"
"We were born to meet,
Crossing over a very long time.
Now more than ever,
the excitement spinning through my heart
can't be stopped by anyone."
"hito wa naze doushite
hontou no kimochi ni kidzukanai no
suki na koto ya suki na hito
tada sore dake no koto na no ni
gomakashite mo minai furi shite mo
nanimo kawaranai kara
massugu ni ikite-yukou
sono me tooku mae wo mite-iru ne"
"Tell me, why don't people
realize their true feelings?
Even though the things they like, the people they love
are all that matters.
If we cover up our feelings, or pretend we don't see
nothing will change,
so let's live openly [frankly, honestly],
our eyes looking far to the future."
"hito wa naze doushite
hontou no kimochi wo tojikomeru no
dekiru koto yaritai koto
ippo-zutsu arukeba ii
PUROGURAMU sareta ikikata ni
nagasanai kimi ga suki

"Tell me, why do people

one step at a time.
I love the way you don't care
how you have been programmed to live.
I would follow you anywhere.
I will never, ever, let go of you."
Snape finally finished. He stroked back Lilly's hair. He kissed her on the check. She didn't move at all.
Professor McGonagall came rushing in. She didn't look to well.
"Severus, what if she is in a coma?" McGonagall said.
"She isn't," Snape said, "She doesn't know how important she is to both Wizarding and Muggle kind."
"Severus, we don't know if it will happen," McGonagall said.
"You predicted it. I predicted it. Our past selves predicted it. The Powers predicted it. Sarah predicted it. Marcaus predicted it. Iruri predicted it. Severa predicted it," Snape said, "The cards were arranged in the same order every time. We always used the predicted cards."
"Do you know which cards represent who?" McGonagall asked.
"No, but I know the plan in the defeat," Snape answered, "The Lovers are already dead and they are protecting the chosen four as we speak. The Fool, the Temperance, and the High Priestess are the chosen ones. Death and Justice will die to buy the chosen ones time. The Sun and the Star will protect them. The Magician, the World, and the Tower will lend their hope, friendship, good magic, and a part of their soul to help defeat the devil. The Foul and the Temperance must kill the High Priestess for the battle to end."
"What happens if the plan fails?" McGonagall spoke up.
"We will be reborn."
"And to think this all started when Salazar Slytherin revolted against the Powers and the other three Hogwarts founders. Salazar's daughter tried to stop him. But the Powers went back to their eternal rest slumber. And the five people were killed,' McGonagall said.
"'Cruel Angel's Thesis,'" Snape said briefly, "To think we will lose someone really important to us."
"Who?"
"Never mind."
"Severus, you're hiding something!"
"You will learn soon enough."
"Severus! I want to know now!"
"The chosen four are Sarah, Marcaus, Harry and Lilly. Severa, Kris, and the Powers are the protectors," Snape explained, "They must kill the pure hearted one to stop the Dark Lord."
"You mean they have to kill.kill.NO!" McGonagall protested, "They can't!"
"I'm not to happy about it myself," Snape said, "I'm currently working on the clone of that person."
"I don't want to lose them," McGonagall replied, "Isn't there a way to end this battle without killing the ones we love?"
"You can't stop Cruel Angel's Thesis," Snape replied, "But I will not allow ourselves to be reborn again and again."
"Severa could destroy You-Know-Who's life crystal," McGonagall said, "Or she could eat his life crystal. That's how psychics strengthen their powers. They must kill and use their preys' life crystals."
"The Dark Lord would just be reborn again," Snape replied, "I'm not risking chance of that happening."
"We are missing some of the life crystals we need," McGonagall said, "Without the other six; we cannot access the Angel's Saber. Currently we have only have three of the nine."
Snape reached into his robe pocket and pulled out three egg-size jewels. Two were yellow and the third one was red.
"I was able to collect these before the bodies were buried," Snape said, "They are the Life Crystals of Lily Evans Potter, Mandy Kartese, and Crystal Smith. I still need the Life Crystals of Salazar Slytherin, Sarahline Slytherin, Kathrene Backishel, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Godric Gryffindor. I know Severa is currently tracking them. I think I might know where Godric's is at. I felt weird vibration from his sword. Sarah knows where Salazar's grave is. It's here at Hogwarts."
"I'll make sure we'll be able to get to the Gryffindor Sword," McGonagall said.
"Lilly and Harry might be the key to finding the other crystals," Snape said.
"When are we planning to leave for you know what I mean?" McGonagall asked.
"Today, as soon as my half-sister comes," Snape said, "Sirius Black will be teaching Potions. My sister will be teaching Transfiguration."
"Selena? I thought she was dead," McGonagall said.
"No, she's been busy," Snape replied, "She works for the Ministry of Magic."
A woman walked up to Snape. She had long black hair. She was very tall.
"Hi big brother!" the woman said as she hugged Snape, "You and Minerva can leave now."
"Take good care of Lilly," Snape said.
Before Snape left he kissed Lilly on the forehead. Snape and McGonagall left using floo powder.
Over the next few days Transfiguration was fun. Selena would talk about her half-brother's problem with transfiguration.
"He tried a simple spell," Selena said, "He blew up the table trying to transfigure it into a chair."
There was a loud roar of laughter. It was quiet without Lilly. Lilly would cry when her spells wouldn't work. She would giggle when Sarah or Marcaus told her a joke.
Harry didn't know Lilly would remain asleep for two more weeks. Madam Pomfrey made it official that Lilly was in a coma. Snape didn't know about Lilly's current condition. He was busy getting married to McGonagall, according to Sarah.
The Powers did all they could. But they couldn't wake her up.
When Snape and McGonagall returned, Snape finally went back to teaching. McGonagall did the same. Harry and his friends were in Potions class when Madam Pomfrey came in. Her face looked grim.
"Severus, I need you to come to the hospital wing,' Madam Pomfrey said, "Have Sarah, Marcaus, Potter, Granger, Weasley, and Miss Black come, too."
"What's the problem?" Snape said.
"It's Lilly," she replied.
"Potter, Granger, Weasley, Black! Hospital wing now!" Snape said, "Come on, Sarah, Marcaus! Mr. Malfoy please keep an eye on the class."
They ran up the stairs and through the halls. They opened the door and saw McGonagall crying. Severa was crying, too.
"Severus, she's dead," McGonagall said through her crying.
Snape ran over to Lilly. He felt her skin. She was ice cold. Her skin was blue. Her heart wasn't beating. She wasn't breathing either.
Snape sat her up. He cradled her as if she was alive. He than looked at Kris.
"You! It's your fault!" Snape snapped at Kris, "She's dead because of you!"
"Severus, Kris didn't kill her," McGonagall said, "It was draco Malfoy. That's why she was in the owlry. Malfoy beat her up badly. She had many broken bones and a few punctured organs. She was writing to the Ministry of Magic. Kris only gave her a bloody nose."
"I'll kill him!" Kris said.
"My own student killed her?" Snape said shocked.
Snape hugged Lilly. He ran his fingers through her hair. Harry noticed Snape do something he never saw him do before. Snape was crying. Tears were running down his cheeks. Snape was having a hard time with her death.
Sarah and Hermione had their heads on Marcaus' shoulders. The students came in. They saw Snape crying. They started to laugh at him.
"Shut up!" Kris yelled.
"You would think our professor would not fell so about a death of a Gryffindor," Pansy Parkison said.
Sarah went up to Pansy and slapped her.
"Daddy's raised her since she was a baby," Sarah said.
Snape slowly laid Lilly's body down. He gave her a short kiss on the cheek.
"Good-bye, My Little Lily," Snape said. Snape slowly got up. He felt something grab the seat of his robes. Snape looked around. Lilly's left hand was gripping his robes.
Lilly was beginning to breathe. The color to her skin was slowly returning. Snape sat back and helped her by sitting her back up.
"Un.Unc.," Lilly mumbled, "Uncl.un.Uncl.Uncle.."
"Come on, Lilly," Snape said.
"S.Se.Sev.Seve.Seve..Sever.Sever.Severu.."
Lilly's eyes opened up with a shocked look in them, "Uncle Severus!"
Lilly hugged Snape. Then she huddled near him. Her brilliant green eyes looked like there was some terror.
"I'm scared!" she said.
Snape put his arms around her.
"It's ok," he told her.
"I was dreaming for a while, the next thing I knew, I saw a bright light ahead of me," Lilly said.
"You're fine now," Snape said.
"I'm also cold," she said as she shivered.
Snape unbuttoned his robe and wrapped it around Lilly. He was wearing a white turtle neck and black pants under it. Snape smiled at Lilly. The students were shocked. They never saw him smile like this. He would usually sneer or smirk. But it was unusual for him to smile at a Gryffindor.
For the next few days, Snape didn't leave Lilly's side.
