Lily sadly smiled a soft goodbye, then turned, walking out of the room.
Severus just stood there, refusing to believe that it was real.
The girl he loved was walking away.
Did she really think he would forget her that easily?
Hardly.
Her very existence would forever shape the way he used magic.
She had changed him, had left him open to love, had shown him its pain.
For such a gentle girl, she could be unspeakably cruel.
But he loved her regardless, knew he always would.
