Severus Snape sat thinking, hidden in the shadows at the end of his driveway.

Thinking that he really didn't want to go Hogwarts.

Because Lily wouldn't be able to come too.

A twig snapped.

Snape slunk deeper, practically invisible. "Sev? I know you're there. I have a secret to tell you. I got a letter from an owl today saying that I'm a witch. Mum told me not to tell anyone because no one would believe me, but you believe me, right??"

Smiling, Severus stepped out from the bramble. "Of course I believe you. And I'm going to Hogwarts too."
