Ok, well yes, the last chapter DID say the end, but someone gave me a great idea to do an epilogue... and i've got a lot of threats to keep writing too, lol!!! so yes this is the last chapter! very sorry, but we all know Severus's life was never a loving and caring one...
Severus and Lily
Epilogue:
Severus sat in the dark shadows of the castle, wedged himself between to dark green berry bushes. He was invisible, the way he liked it now days. If people saw him, they looked at the bushes instead of looking drectly at him, they would hurry past him as if he was some contagious disease.
In front of Severus was a small tree, it would be more than four years old, underneath of it, however, was a group of seventh year Gryffindors. Severus stared at them with pure hate.
Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew, Lily's two friends - Mathews and Carroll, and... Lily...
Oh how it ached him to see her so happy, laughing. How it ached him to see her with them.
There was Potter with his arm around Lily, chatting away, her arm across his chest laughing hard, Black and Lupin mucking around with Mathews and Carroll and Pettigrew staring off into the distant.
Here he sat, looking at the girl of his dreams, sitting 50m away from him, but she was much farther away from him than that. It took all his effort not to use a dark spell on Potter, to hex him or beat him until his was bloody...
He couldn't do it, Lily was sitting there, her shine, her personality drawed him into her, but he could not approch her. It had been five months since the school dance and everytime Severus aproached Lily she shoved him away, glared at him, snobbed him, she yelled at him to leave her alone. But he didn't. Yes he stopped trying to explain what happened that night, he tried to persuade Madam Pomphrey and Professor Mcgonagall to tell Lily the truth...but no, apparently that "accident" was confidential.
It's obvious as to what happened with them, Potter has them wrapped around his little finger, just like every other student in this stupid castle.
Oh how he couldnt wait to leave this castle and properly become the Dark Lord's right hand man, then he could show Potter what he was made of! All those Dark spells Potter would have never dreamed of using!
Severus growled deep inside him, just five months ago, Lily and he were almost dating... and now...well he couldn't think about it right now, it hurt him too much.
He looked back over at Lily. Her laugh, how beautiful it was! She looked towards the shadows, Severus did not direct his eyes away, he held her stare, he watched her.
And Lily knew he was. She shuffled closer to James, kissed him and looked back over at the sour Severus, she glared at him, as if challenging him to come near her, but he sat still his the dark shadows of the castle, staring every now and then at Lily until the bell rang.
