Severus POV:

As we just sat there, wrapped around each other, I closed my eyes and shifted through my memories, replaying them.

Eileen Prince was an average student, who was not a social butterfly or a hard core introvert.

She had her set of friends and was comfortable as she was.

She was a pure blood,the child of the main line of the Prince family. She behaved like it too.

So it was a great shock to her friends and family when they found out she had ran away from her home to marry a muggle she loved.

Due to the shock her father died, followed by her mother who died in grief of her daughter running away and her husband's death.

The Prince line was heirless. As Eileen was a woman she couldn't take up the title. Nor could her husband as he was a muggle; as usually in their case, the husband of the remaining lady of the line would take up the title.

Eileen hid the fact she had magic from her husband. Tobias, accidentally saw her teaching Severus magic one day when Severus was 6.

Until then Tobias was a good father, but he became downright abusive to both of them when he learnt of magic.

Eileen tried to protect Severus as hard as she could, but the ongoing abuse made her magical core detoriate and essentially deeming her as a squib.

Severus's only hopes in his life was his mother and Lily Evans.

Lily Evans. A girl he saw as a best friend and a sister. She was the one who stayed with him during his hardships.

Until he ruined everything he had with her at the end of 5th year. All because of James Potter wanted to bully him and show off in front of his "Lily Flower".

Though she did send him an condolence message when his mother died after his graduation at Hogwarts.

She had even stayed for the funeral, though both of them maintained a distance and didn't speak to each other.

When he heard that Lily had given birth to a baby boy, he felt happy for her as she had always said she wanted a few kids and the fact that the first years used to flock around her like chicks when she was a prefect.

He had first started having feelings for Harry during his 4th year. He felt disgusted with himself that he was besotted with a boy and the child of a woman he considered his sister.

He feared he was turning into a man as disgusting as his father, but he couldn't help himself.

When Harry first got here to grimmauld place, Harry looked like an angel in his eyes; or a sexy minx, pick your choice.

When Harry had sex with him, he feared that it was just a one time thing, but the talks they had afterwards made their relationship feel more lovable and more trustful.

With those thoughts swirling in his mind, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and closed his with a slight smile.
