TOXIC ROMANCE
Prologue
The young girl could remember the first time that she saw him, how his coal-black eyes bore into her own green orbs in utter loathing. His baleful gaze had locked with her curious one, and she had felt herself freeze in place.
She'd found it interesting then, how much emotion his eyes could express without his permanent sneer even twitching. Yes, his eyes. She felt like she could free fall into them, deep down into their blackness, and never come back out. It would have been a welcome reprieve from what she was used to enduring during summer with her relatives. But, alas, that was not the case.
She still couldn't forget, after all these years, how mesmerized she was with him.
The eleven-year-old girl had felt something twinge in her chest when he had looked at her. She hadn't known what it was then, but whatever it was, it wasn't the fear she had usually felt whenever her relatives had looked at her. She felt the strange feeling heat up in the chest then, and she made a decision that will change her life from that point onwards.
Unbidden, Harriet Lily Potter felt her lips curl into a smile as his gaze tore from her own.
'I will have you, she'd thought, Severus Snape'.
