A/N: I really hate how this turned out but meh, here it is anyway. Snape x Lily.
As he looked at the ruined house, he ran. The door was ajar and he pushed it so it swung on its hinges. Snape ran up the stairs, two at a time. James Potter was lying on the landing. His heart missed a beat as he realized he was dead. As much as he had hated Potter, this was a fate he would never wish upon anyone. His beautiful Lily lay still in the nursery. Her chest was only just rising, she was alive! Severus scooped her up in his arms and apparated to the Hogwarts entrance.
As the entered the medical wing, Lily touched his face. ''Sev.'' She spoke. ''I forgive you.''
''You don't know how much that means to me.'' Severus replies, eyes warm. He kissed her forehead and lay her down on the bed. Madam Pomfrey rushed over, ''Oh goodness, what happened here?''
Lily cupped Severus's face with her hand. ''I had a reality check.'' She kissed his jaw lightly and Poppy Pomfrey left them alone. ''I love you, Sev.'' Lily smiled.
''I love you too. Always.'' Severus responded, kissing her full on, heading straight for her lips.
