Chapter 5: Painful Realizations

Liz arrived with a silent pop; the house was dark as was its master. She knew better than to come here but in a fit of rage she had apperated to the one person, who always made her feel better, about herself. As she slowly walked towards the odd house the door opened and out walked Luna and Neville Longbottom hand in hand. Neville smiled when Luna called out to her and let go of his hand to embrace their friend. They had been infinitely kind to Liz over the years, especially after the war and her rescue of Snape. It had actually been Neville and Luna who had helped her carry his limp body inside to Madam Pomfrey; who until this day she could not bring herself to call Poppy. The name didn't seem to fit the witch, who while she was kind Liz had seen the vicious side of her and would never forget it.

Tears were still falling freely and all she wanted was to find him and apologize for the things that she had said but she knew she wouldn't be able to; her pride would never let her say that she was sorry to him. No matter how grievous the offence, she knew she was right though. Severus couldn't change Lily's fate no matter how hard he had tried. He had probably sealed her fate by going to the Dark Lord as he had, but this was the future and Liz was trying to offer him a chance to be happy, to be loved and he was just throwing it away. She knew she should write to him if nothing else, and tell him she didn't want to see him again, but when she would open her mouth to say the words to Luna, to ask for paper, ink and quill she just couldn't make herself say them. She had always felt something for Severus but her feelings and heart had been shattered when she had been taken prisoner all those years ago, his cruelty, his malice, and her fear had seemed to spur him on. Maybe he had thought her a fool for trying to love him; maybe he had tried to push her away like he was now; or maybe he just didn't care.

As night fell on the odd house Luna started cooking dinner Liz bade her friend's goodnight, leaving the younger couple to enjoy their newlywed status without her interfering. Liz had made up her mind hours before on what she was going to do when she left and finding her Gryffindor courage she did just that. With a loud pop she apperated to Spinner's End. Whether she apologized or not didn't matter. Liz was done, she had waited for years for the man who was obviously blind to her feelings to realize that she was there for him; no judgments, no questions, just open arms, but his heart was closed and she would never see him again after tonight. Running was not the answer, this she knew, but she couldn't stay in Hogsmead any longer. Not knowing that Hogwarts was so close, not when the memory of the pain, the past, the un-known was so close, not when she had been in his arms not just hours before. Happiness be damned, fate could go to hell. It was time she had fun, Severus could go to hell for all she cared, she had given him her heart and he had crushed it. Liz approached the front door of Severus's house. The question still sat in her mind if she should tell anyone about leaving, Let them worry… I've worried about everyone for far too long. It's my turn for a Happy Ever After. With a sneer that could curdle the blood of even Lucius Malfoy, she turned and with a pop was gone.

Severus woke the next morning with a terrible hang over, two empty Fire whiskey bottles sat on the table beside him and his pensive was sitting in the chair nearest him; his body and soul were sore from the night of unbidden memories. Liz had been on the forefront the entire night, until Severus was completely drunk, then Lily rose to the front once more. Lily with her vibrant red her and beautiful green eye; she'd been his whole world for so long, but what if Liz was right? What if he had closed off himself, not just his heart but to his mind as well, to the idea of loving someone else. With a growl he stood quickly but regretted it and sat back down, head in his hands he summoned a headache and hangover potion before calling the house elf for tea and breakfast. While his tea and food were getting ready Severus showered and dressed. Rather than his dark robes he normally wore as a teacher he pulled on a grey jumper and a pair of black pants with dress shoes, he had found these clothes to be much more comfortable when he was at home, but he had to make an impression today. He HAD to tell her he was sorry, that he loved her, that she was right, and that he couldn't live without her.

Severus felt his chest swell when he admitted the feelings to himself. He loved someone, and she loved him, or she had until he had acted so foolishly. I love her, I intend to make her mine, before its too late! Severus ate and drank his tea with full smile on his face before he pulled on his heavy wool cloak and apperated to Gringotts, there was a trinket he had to get out of his vault, he'd saved it all these years for a day like today, and now it was his chance, this was his chance to make things right.

Three months later…..

Liz was missing. Severus had gone to her work, her home, and even to her friends. No one knew where she was, no one could tell him anything; all he had found out was she had left Longbottom's house after nightfall and no one had seen her since. Severus poured himself yet another brandy having upgraded to it when fire whiskey wasn't doing its job anymore. He had spent every night for the last week looking for her for any information of friends or family she may have, and he had found nothing. With a scream of frustration Severus threw the glass against the wall and stomped upstairs to his bedroom and shut the door with a loud slam. He let out another scream as he fell to his knees crying. He'd done it again; he pushed another woman that loved him away, and only Merlin knew if he would see her again. As his tears fell to the floor, his heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

Miles and miles away Liz cried herself to sleep, a sharp pain in her chest telling her what she already knew, he was broken, he knew he loved her, had lost her, and in the morning she would return; it was time he was told the truth and she got the answers. Falling asleep peacefully she dreamt of her time with Severus in the work room, knowing she would see him again soon.
