Disclaimer: I don't own Severus Snape or "The Shape of My Heart"

I know this song is old and well, not that great, but this is what I thought about when I heard this song on the radio.

Severus pulled her into a tight embrace. He wished he didn't have to wait until the Yule Ball to do this every year. He made promises to her with his eyes as they swirled together on the dance floor. . .

Baby, please try to forgive me

Stay here, don't put out the glow

Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah.

Looking back on the things I've done

I was trying to be someone

I played my part, and kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart

She looked at him like he was the only person in the room. Her eyes searched his face, but his face was as cold as stone. If only she could make him see. . .

Sadness is beautiful, loneliness is tragical

So help me I can't win this war, oh no

Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man I've become. . .

Lookin' back on the things I've done

I was tryin' to be someone

I played my part, and kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart

He slipped his fingers down the back of her robes. Her skin was warm and soft to the touch. If only he could somehow tell her what he was feeling. . . but she would never understand. If only there were some way to get inside her. . .

I'm here with my confession

Got nothing to hide no more

I don't know where to start

But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm looking back on things I've done

I never want to play the same old part

I'll keep you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart. . .

She put her head down on his shoulder. It was hard, but her head fit perfectly. She wished the song would never end as he gently caressed her skin with his fingertips. "He'd never love me," she thought. He doesn't know. . .

Looking back on the things I've done

I was trying to be someone

I played my part, and kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart

As he stroked her hair for the last time, he breathed her in. He never wanted to forget this dance. It meant the world to him to know that she was there. . .

Looking back on the things I've done

I was trying to be someone

I played my part, and kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of. . .

Show you the shape of my heart

As the song ended, the couple parted and she disappeared in a crowd of people. He never saw her again.
