Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, unfortunately for me, and fortunately for the characters that would probably all end up mauled. (By accident)

Severus Knows

Severus knows…

When I cry in the evenings, without any hope. And I've lost all of my chances to change and become someone better than I am.

Severus knows…

He glowers at my misfortune and assures me that I can change – even though we both know that the comment isn't true. And the tea sparkles with a calming draught as he offers it to me.

Severus knows…

He knows everything about me, from how my hair was bleached by my father with Mrs. Skower's Magical Mess Remover to how I love Potter, with his hair all mussed up, his eyes and his determined chin. And his stupidity too… Merlin that stupidity – I should hate him for it, but I can't.

Severus knows…

He sees that my heart is broken, and will never be mended. He knows, for he has walked that path before me. His hair is gray streaked with pain, though no one ever seems to notice it.

Severus knows…

I will be there when Potter dies in front of the Dark Lord. He knows how I will strike down my Master in one blow, and then try to join Potter in the Realms of the dead.

Severus knows…

How I will spend months in St. Mungo's hospital before awakening to a new future in a different time in order to start all over again.

Severus knows…

Because he is me.
