More memories...
It was harder and harder to keep his eyes opened and he closed them, just to have all his memories flash before him. His childhood. Abusive father and his mother’s eyes, full of tears and hatred, when he killed his drunken pig of a father, after he raped and beat his mom yet again. He couldn’t take it anymore and he cast his first Avada Kedavra, killing the bastard on the spot, only to have his mother hate him for that and say that she never wants to see him again.
As the memories flew by, he saw Lily. His first and only friend. She was the only one who understood him, the only one who cared, the only one who he could share himself with. God knows how much he wanted it, but he was too scared to ruin their friendship, and by the time he finally decided to tell her about his feelings, she had fallen in love with Potter. It made him mad beyond words, and Potter was not too reluctant to show his hatred towards him.
Always there, with his best friends Black and Lupin to torture and humiliate him. In an attempt to prove something to the others and to himself, he took his Dark Mark. It almost seemed like he was finally accepted and appreciated, but that was just an illusion. Lily didn’t approve. She tried to talk him out of it, but that only made him angrier. He could still see the day she stopped being his friend. Humiliated by her precious Potter and his friends, he allowed his anger take the best of him and said something he did not mean.
After the realization of what he said hit him, she was not there anymore. He tried to talk to her, to apologize, but it was too late. She walked out of his life forever. Pretty soon he understood, that the only reason Tom wanted him around was his knowledge of potions, but what was done, was done. He was alone again. Meanwhile, Tom Riddle’s hunger for power grew stronger and stronger and before he knew it, he was doing thigs no man or wizard should ever do. There was no escape from it, other than taking his own life.
That was when Albus approached him. He offered him a home and a chance to redeem himself, working for the order of the Phoenix. It was more than he could ever ask for and he took it without hesitation.
The day Lily and James were killed was also the day the Dark Lord perished forever. Or so he thought. Without ever being noticed, he kept an eye on her and Potter to make sure she’d always be safe. That’s the least he could do after offending her the way he did. He saw her give birth to a beautiful baby boy. She was glowing with pride. He couldn’t help but to think that it could have been his son, if he’d only find the courage to confess his feelings to her all those years ago.
After he was summoned that day, he came to his master just to be told that he had some important matters to attend to and would be back in a little while. Something in his heart told him to go and check on Lily. Just to make sure that she was ok. When he got there, it was already too late. As he walked into the house, he saw Potter’s body on the stairs that led to the bedroom. He quickly ran up the stairs with a glimpse of hope that she might still be alive.
As he gathered her into his arms he heard a single quite whisper - “Keep my son safe”. He gave her his promise and closed her eyes forever. He held her for a while longer in his arms not able to let go. He cried over the woman he loved and couldn’t hear or see anything around him. Finally, when he could bring himself up, he walked to the baby. He gathered Harry in his arms and apparated to Hogwarts. That was when Dumbledore told him that the Dark Lord would return and young Potter is the one destined to end his reign of terror.
Another promise was given that day. He would do everything in his power to keep Harry safe and help him defeat the Dark Lord, and so he did. The memory of Hermione came again. His little princess. How he loved to watch her grow. He was still young when he first saw her. Only thirty-three. Ideal age to get married and have kids of his own, but how could he with everything that was on the line. His heart, longing for some attention, jumped to the first person that was ready to give it.
So, what that she was only eleven. She reminded him of himself. Eager to learn, she was brilliant at potions. Everything came easy to her, but with potions, she was a natural. She was easy to talk to. She would listen and ask the right questions. They would talk for hours and he loved every minute of it. He was proud of her achievements as he would be the first person she’d run to, to tell about them. Sometimes, after discussing their next move with Albus, he would proudly share about her academics. It’s like the Headmaster knew what buttons to push to make him talk about her. With that same twinkle in his eyes, he would always say – “She is your other half Severus.” – “No, she is not. She is but a child.”
“She will not be a child forever you know.” – “I know that old man, but I can assure you, that my feelings towards her are purely fatherly. To assume something else, would be shameful and outright perverted.” Dumbledore laughed – “You’ll see soon enough my boy, soon enough.”
