The Prophecy of the Phoenix- Chapter Ten
Severus Snape watches Hermione sleep hidden in the shadows of her room. Sorrow like he's never felt not even when he was a death eater consumes his heart and mind. Why had the prophecy chosen this young woman, his other half? Knowing that she only saw him as a mean potions master, the greasy grit, and so most students called him. He knew that she could never love him but he could not seem to stop his destiny from following hers. He could remember when he came to Albus it was right before he found out Voldemort was going for Lily and James Potter. He thought if he gotten to them in time he could save them and his debt to James Potter who is over. He was unable to get them help in time and they both died, he had lost the one person who willing been his friend, Lily.
Voldemort thought Harry was the child of Prophecy that's why he went to kill him and his family, he had given Lily a chose but Lily rather die saving her child then allow Voldemort to kill him while she watched, becoming his newest death eater. The old man had been able to protect both of them but at a cost, Lily and James knew that there lives were in danger. If they had only trusted someone other then peter they would still be here, and Lily would be able to help Severus get thru this pain, sorrow and anger. He knew Albus was trying to make him angry , make him think Hermione's parents didn't care if she lived or died, he was not fooled .As soon as Fawkes began the merging he could feel what she felt, her soul sot out its other half , he could feel the physic rapture between them. Everyday it was growing stronger; he could feel her fear for it matched his own.
Walking over to the bed he kneeled down beside it and reached out, running the back of his hand down the side of her face. "You will know no other love as great as the one that has placed its self into my heart. Where there once was loneliness, anger, hate and mistrust there is now such a glowing amount of love for you. Loving you scares me, but knowing I am to lose you is killing me, you are the breath I take, you are the soul with in me. My sweet Anima (Latin for soul)."Severus say moving his hand to his own face whipping the tears that had be gone to fall. Standing he begins to back away from the bed glancing once more on her face he turns and walks to the door.
"Severus wait, please don't leave." She whispers. Turning he sees Hermione sitting up in the bed holding out her hand to him. "I need you here, I feel safe with you in the room with me please don't leave." She calls to him hoping he won't turn and continue to leave. "I don't know if it's a good idea if I remain." He chokes out as fresh tears fall. " I know what my friends will think but you are in my heart and have been for as long as I can remember I just didn't know until I saw your face last night and heard your words. ." she says as she pulls him into a hug. "I will stay until you fall back to sleep, then I will retire to my rooms for the night." He says moving onto the bed next to Hermione. "Goodnight Severus." She says softly as she drifts back to sleep. Waiting until he was sure she was asleep once again he walked to the door of her room this time not looking back knowing if he did he would not leave her at all.
