prompt fourteen: noise
Severus Snape
The cheers, the laughs, the roars, the noise is faint, halted by walls and doors and silence, but it is deafening to him.
How can they celebrate when she is dead?, he thinks. She's dead.
The Dark Lord has betrayed him, lied to him, and thus, he has betrayed Lily. Killed her. He, Severus Snape, has killed her. He is guilty, and she is gone.
He turns away furiously from Hogsmeade, towards the hushed and shrouded castle. He no longer has a purpose.
