This is a short story I have had for a long on my mind... I hope you like it^^
Matter of blood
"Dirty Mudblood!"
So you said to her refusing her help and denying your friendship. But now watching her defenseless on the bed of the infirmary because of a dangerous curse sent by those you call friends, you don't care about anything, not about the state of blood, nor the state of affairs.
"Sev…erus… What are you doing… here?"
Her strained voice appear from the oblivion of that sleep wich you almost feared she wouldn't have waken up anymore from.
"I'm sorry Lily, I've mistaken… everything… Really! Forgive me!"
You take the wand in your hand, telling those words, and you lean it on your left forearm, where almost for a miracle there wasn't the sign of a fatal mistake yet. You whisper a spell and let come out your pale skin a trickle of blood, starting then to compare your wound with hers. It's blood: red, bright, same blood.
"Do you see it? It's the same, isn't it? There isn't any difference between pure blood, half-blood and Mud-blood"
"No… Your blood always will be different Severus…"
She exclaims looking from your wound to your face. And that's that your confused eyes meet her amused smile.
"The half-blood prince… It isn't true the half-blood maybe, but the prince it is… And princes, don't they have blue blood?" she asks starting to laugh, with that laugh that warms your heart "But.. Still I don't understand why we have a same blood then…"
"Maybe because you're my princess…" you whisper almost inaudibly raising a smile. Only she could have been able to get out of you those words and that smile.
"I missed you Sev!"
She takes your hand and you find yourself half jumping at that unexpected touch. You've been missing her being close, the way she used to call you, that nickname used only by her.
And you've been missing too to be that "Sev" she used to know.
