[oh.]

you've hated him

loathed him with a bound intensity

everything he's done

everything he does

you hate it

he's /cruel\, manipulative, mean

and you don't want to get started

on how he treats harry, oh, harry

actually, all of the gryffindors, in fact

and that evil, glittering glint in his eye

when he hissed 'miss granger,'

telling you you've done wrong

(and you don't like doing wrong)

tells you that all he is, is

meanmeanmean

first year, young and naïve

you think the culprit is him

but it's not, is it?

you were wrong

and how could you forget third year?

sirius black, marauder and mischief maker.

loathes snape just as you do

and then, you're on the hunt

dumbledore's broken form,

spread-eagled on the ground

beneath the s*t*a*r*s

haunts your memory

and it's all his fault

that man in the [billowing black] robes

who's wrestled control of your home

of hogwarts

but now, oh, now

you're kneeling by his side

by his deathbed

and you're wishing you had your

[/timeturner\]

and you can't help but wonder

why?


a/n - um, this is my first time ever writing snape/hermione, and idk if I'm comfortable with it, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons, so please don't judge me too harshly for this... for the pairing set boot camp, and camp potter week 6 (I think). ;o wordcount: 179
