(*Updated)
The gentle sound of a record playing of classical music as it rained outside filled the air inside of the house. It was pouring quite hard at Spinner's End as Severus quietly sat in his chair, reading the wizard paper. He scowled as usual while he read about more of the Ministry's restrictions. As he read he felt gentle arms wrap around his neck as soft lips gently kisses the temple of his head. Soon her voice gave out a child like giggle while snuggling close against him.
"What's so amusing?"
"...You...I don't understand why you read this junk when you hate it so much…Rita always ruins the truth."
He scowls once more and he placed the paper down, and reached up to take her hand. He kisses her knuckles as he felt the person move around the chair. She gave another soft giggle as she slowly sat on his lap, resting her head against the crook of his neck. She wore her simple skinny jeans with a large white sweater that was much too big for her but made her look quite radiant in it.
"If you stop scowling like that then people won't call you an oversized bat."
He gave a low, sarcastic chuckle as he cups her chin with his thumb and index finger to make her look at him.
"Ah..."
"You dare speak to a Professor like this."
He could see a glimmer of amusement as she whispers back at him,
"How dare I? How dare you treat your students like this."
Their faces were just inches away from each other, as they looked into each others eyes. She gently caresses his cheek with the tips of her fingers as she giggles again.
"I would suggest you shut that mouth of yours…Or else I'll shut it up for you."
"I dare you to try."
He took her hair in his hand and pulled her towards him as their lips met, hearing a slight gasp from her. His kiss was rough and needy as he felt her lips parted a bit to let his tongue in. She responded by kissing him back but softer, gentler than him as he calmed down a bit. He slowly released her as both of them breath for air. She leans into him a bit to kiss his cheek and whispers,
"...What's wrong?"
He fingers through her wavy hair to loosen the tangles while he felt her kiss his cheek again, moving her body a bit closer to his.
"...I feel like I'm in a dream…"
"Why do you say that?"
He looks up to her sharp green eyes, as if they could pierce through his soul.
"...Because I feel like…You're saying goodbye to me…"
She placed her hands on both sides of his face and kissed the top of his forehead before leaning hers against his.
"...Hey...I'm right here,I'm not going anywhere…Let's go out and take a walk,go to the river, hm?"
He nodded his head as she slowly got up, with a small blush on her cheeks as she help him up from the chair. He then followed her to the front door. They placed on their cloaks but instead of placing on his black scarf, he wrapped it around her neck. She smiled as he pulled her closer to him with the scarf as she goes on her tip toes, giving a small kiss on the lips.
He couldn't help but give a smirk as she saw her blush again. She grinned as she wrapped her arms around his right one as they walked out to the chilly fall weather around them, as the gentle breeze in the air hit their faces, but still a bit sunny out. As they walked, they made it to a secluded area under a large tree near a river. They looked out at the calm water as she looked up at Severus and says with a little smile,
"Watch this…"
It was a soft sunset as she quietly moved her hand over the scene. Slowly little droplets slowly come up to float in the air as the sunlight reflected off of them like a prism effect, shining all around them as Severus looked at her and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her close. He leaned down to kiss her and whispers,
"You truly are a spectacular witch…"
"A witch who doesn't have a heart…"
He looks at her peculiarly as he saw her trying not to smile and ended up doing so. She said,
"Because a certain potion master took it from me."
She gently kisses him on the lips as he hugs her close in a warm embrace. The droplets slowly fall back down onto the grass and river and a bit on them. She looks at him with her eyes wide and full of glee as a musical giggle escapes from her lips,
"Oops~"
He closed his eyes as he pressed his lips in her hair for a light kiss, while for once feeling calm and in peace. He never felt like it before, but suddenly hears a familiar voice,
"You forgot about me Severus?"
He looked up to see the young Lily Evans, when they were just children. She tilted her head in confusion as he lets go of the girl and says,
"No! I would never forget about you Lily."
"Then why are you looking at her now? Do I no longer have a place in your heart?"
"Of course not!"
The little girl teared up and started to cry,
"Is it because I'm a mudblood Sev?"
Soon the little girl turned older to Lily as an adult, crying with her hands over her eyes. Soon another woman appeared. She looked like Lily but had blonde hair, and deeper green eyes. She looked at Severus before placing a hand on Lily's shoulder,
"You couldn't save my sister…Now my daughter!"
Lily looked up as her eyes, now with green fury, glared at his.
"Amelia…He couldn't…Didn't save your daughter. He had no intentions of ever treating her as an equal, let alone try to save her."
He didn't understand as he felt a hand on his harm. He turned to see the woman he was with, now younger than before. Her mature face was replaced with a pale complexion as her eyes grew wide, choking.
"No, no, NO!"
He gripped onto her, trying to figure out what was happening as she coughed up blood on the ground with her eyes wide up till she dropped onto this arms Her skin now lifeless and eyes with no light in them as they stare up into his face.
"No! NO! WAKE UP!"
"Severus...You can't bring her back...How can you protect my son yet you couldn't protect her?"
Suddenly the skies turned grey as a storm came. He looked back at Lily while holding onto the girl in his arms. Soon James and Jonathan came next to the two women. James held hate in his eyes at Severus, while Jonathan just stared sorrowfully at his daughter. The men took their wives' hands to pull them away, but Lily look back one last time before walking away from him. He reached out and yelled,
"No! I didn't know! Please don't go!"
They disappeared in one of the flashes of lightning as he looked down to see him standing on a flood full of corpses as the horrible laughter of the dark lord rings in his ear.
"NO!"
Severus wakes up in his private room behind his office in cold sweats as he slowly sat up. He glanced around and looked at the clock on his wall as it said it was only three in the morning. He quietly cursed at himself as he got out of his bed to take a hot shower, stripping out of his damp clothes quickly. He got in as fast as possible and hissed, because it was still not hot enough, he wanted to feel it scorch his skin. He waited a moment as steam rose around him as he took his quick shower. He came back out and wore nothing but a towel around his waist as he looked at the mirror. He moved his hand across it to wipe away the steam to stare at himself at the mirror as he sneer at the thought,
...She was just a student and Lily's niece… That's it. I wasn't my fault she killed herself that, stupid girl...I just need to protect Potter…
He tried to shake the faults off of him as he came out and wore some new clothes. For bed he would only wear some pajama pants and that's it, he never wore a shirt to bed. He quietly sat on the edge of it as he tried to shake the dream. He glanced outside to see the moon was out as he remember he saw her in the tower. The moonlight hitting her face as she stared out, looking like a gentle angel or a muse even. Even though he wanted to forget the dream he closed his eyes of what she would look like if she was a bit older and how radiant she would look. He placed his elbows on his knees as he moved his hands through his hair, looking down. It didn't understand why he in such a strange 'romantic' moment with her. She was too young, naive, just too far of a stretch for anything to happen between them... It didn't matter because she was dead...All he could do now is look after Potter, protect him when harm comes to him.
Severus slowly laid back down and closed his eyes as he drifted of to a dreamless dream not knowing the real truth of Serenity…
"Something wrong?"
Serenity looked up at Magnus as she sat with her legs crossed on the floor reading a muggle book called Pride and Prejudice. Serenity had a small frown on her forehead as she looked at Magnus who was getting ready to welcome the guests.
"Oh nothing...I think I'm gonna just stay in my room and read."
"You sure? The vampires are coming tonight for the party and you know how good of dancers they are~"
"After accidentally drinking a sip of O positive last time...I think I'm good for tonight...You should wear the the glitter tank top with the strips instead."
Magnus looks at himself in the mirror, suddenly the neon purple shirt no longer appealing to him.
"Very true…So what did you see today?"
"You're going to have a guest very soon…"
"Oh? Who?"
"A little girl with her mother..."
"Well that's not helpful, well we'll talk later I need to head down now. Tata dear."
Before he left, he took a look at the book in her hands as he perked one eyebrow up,
"Why are you reading that book?"
Serenity flickers her eyes up at him and gives a sad smile,
"...The characters are really relatable that's all."
Magnus nodded as headed down and loud music drummed through until the door was completely closed, suddenly turning quiet as Serenity curled up with the book. in the large bean bag chair. She reached out to the old vintage radio she bought and turned it on to a local station, listening to some music as she reads one line of Mr. Darcy talking to Br. Bingley about Elizabeth Bennet, while she and her friend Charlotte Lucas listen in. Serenity couldn't help but perk one eyebrow by how haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy sounded.
"Barely tolerable, I dare say. But not handsome enough to tempt me. You'd better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles. You're wasting your time with me" said Mr. Darcy.
Serenity leaned back as a ghost of a smile appear on her face as she remembers a certain Professor back at Hogwarts and frowns. She slowly closes the book and placed it down as she got up to go take something out of her bag, while Valiant was snoozing by the fireplace. She took out her sketchbook and slowly went back to the beanbag, opening it up. She flipped through them to see images of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, her friends, teachers, family. She stopped at a picture she drew of her and Thomas and felt a bit sad as she remembers what he told her,
"May you rest in peace Thomas…"
She quietly turned the page to see Sirius, Remus, and stopped at one page. Dark eyes held her eyes like obsidians as the arrogance in his face could easily be seen. But something hidden behind that face is something fragile, like shattered glass pieces that need fixing. She shook her head as flipped back to Sirius' picture and whispers,
"...We'll be a family soon…"
She placed her sketchbook down and picked up the book again, continued to read until she dozed off to sleep.
