Author's note: I haven't updated in a while, but I'm trying to start this story up again, so please, constructive criticism, reviews, anything to tell me if I should continue this story or not. (There's a longer author note, but does not NEED to be read, so you can just continue with the story.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters or settings based on the Harry Potter books, I do own this storyline, and any characters introduced as my own (Currently none).
Author's note: I started this story before Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, meaning that, while the story is post-Hogwarts, some things are different than they should be, some characters are alive when they're dead in the actual books, and some characters might end up dead that don't in the books, relationships are obviously different as well. Aside from that, I'm trying to stick to some sort of Harry Potter storyline.

"Guess who I came across today, Harry," I say excitedly. I know he'll be angry, but the idea still makes me laugh immensely.
"I dunno... Who?"
"Starts with a 'Sni,' ends with a 'vellus.'"
"Snape?" Harry's eyes bulge slightly. Ever since his occlumency lessons, Harry has shown even more contempt towards Snape than in his previous school years. Despite the fact that he saw into the professor's deepest memories, he couldn't view Snape as a human being with actual feelings, he was moreso just like the Hogwarts ghosts, there, but not all there.
"Yeah, at Borgin and Bourkes. He asked about you, how weird is that?"
"He.. What?" Harry asked, bewildered. This was Severus Snape, the man who only refrained from killing him because of his demented crush on Harry's dead mother.
"Yeah, he asked about you, how you were doing, what you've been up to, etc,. It all seemed really fishy, now that I think about it."
"Well, at least I know he's not planning my death. Maybe I should go visit him sometimes. Bask in the glory of him having to sit there and not torture me or kill me. I'll talk to him about all my innermost thoughts and feelings, I'll even let him use occlumency to see them himself."
"Oh, Harry, get over it, Snape hasn't tortured you since we've gotten out of Hogwarts. What's in the past should stay there, get over hating him so much, he's saved your life more times than you can count."
"Besides," I say, almost as an afterthought, "He's dating your best friend..."
