We were childhood friends, inseparable from first meeting.
Our parents tried to pull us apart, but we were like strong magnets, and wouldn't budge.
We lived in golden paradise until magic came.
Was that what corrupted Eden, and turned brother against brother?
Her sister turned to hate and we grew closer still.
We went to Hogwarts and we were all the other had.
She made friends, I made acquaintances.
I grew jealous as she blossomed into womanhood.
When an opportunity arose, I took the path less traveled, and soon after, she was gone.
It made all the difference, in that I was alone.
And so our fairy tale had no more hope of a happy ending.
Farewell to hope and light forever more.
I've Never Competition, Round Four: Platonic Severus/Lily.
