On a dark night , a young women is sitting on the floor while near her lies a man no older her. Blood is gushing out of the body of young man. The woman near the man has tears rushing outing of her eyes as she sees life coming out of her old friend. The woman picks up her wand from the floor trying to cast a spell but as she was just about to say the spell, the young man's voice stops her in her tracks.
He says "Lil....y lis....ten,the....re I.. s no sav....ing me I ha....ve bee...n hi...t b..y a kil...ling cu..rse so ju...st lis...ten to m...y la..st words " while having difficulty in forming full words.
The voice of man was hoarse and emotionless but to the young lady it was anything but that , because she could fell sadness, longing and overwhelming void in the voice. Hearing such words the young woman's stomach churned she tried to rufute.
She said" Sev, you will be fine we just need to get you to St. Mungo hospital. " ,anxiously, trying to assure herself more than him.
But the man named Sev's next words made her more afraid than anything. After taking a potion out of his pocket and gulping it down his mouth , he said" Lily you know better than I that even if we reach there before my certain death they will not help me , a recognized death eater. So , please I do not want to argue with you at my death bed" without taking a break .
She tried to dillude herself by saying" But the potion ...." only to be crushed to reality by his words. He said " A potion used by dying people for their last words ,so please listen". He took a pause letting his words sink in.
After a minute , Lily was breaking down tears rolling down her beautiful face .
Sev next said " I am sorry for the time I called you mudblood but you need to know that it was not my opinion of you just a reaction when my anger was clouding me , so please forgive me. Also, the reason behind me joining dark lords ranks was not my hate for muggle but my desperation for anything other than ridicule and disdain. You might or might not have realized that I have been bullied and assualted by everyone since my first year, in the following years only you were my solace but when you started dating Potter I could not handle it because James and his group were reason behind my frequent hospital visits they did everything to me that could be considered inhumane, so that day when you tried defend him I was angry at you for abandoning me and did something I regret till the day. After that day, I realized that it was my mistake I wanted to apologize but Potter and friends did not let me anywhere near you, after that I thought that maybe in winter break I could come to Apologize to you but we got home what I saw made me crack ,laying on the floor was body of my mother while she was not much loving she certainly had a place in my heart. After that day I indulged myself into magic to run away from the truth but in my darkest I couldn't refuse when someone extended a towards me. So, please forgive me for everything I have done t.....o yo...u" the sound of his beating heart stopped and his life faded away.
Lily sat there for hours in daze and her eyes fluttered again it could be seen that her gaze was vacant. Then her voice bloomed again and she said" Severus , it is not you who should apologize but me, I knew everything that was happening to you, at first I tried to help you but as time passed I started downplaying everything happening to you, I started to take you for granted and started focusing on superficial people around me, but now that I look back, I see how much of a bad friend I was being. I also knew your felling about me but I still choose Jame because he was more good looking and popular see I am not much of a good person myself even while dating I did not stopped him from bullying you because of my petty pride. After dating for some time I fell in love with him or my projection of him. After Hogwart , I started to see his real self and how much of an asshole and brat he is but at time I realized I was pregnant I did not want my child to be without a father at that time I did not know how wrong my decision was . Somehow dark lord came to realize of a prophecy that my child will be his death after that everyone who I held dear left me James cut every relation with me I thought I would die that day but when everyone left me you came to my aid, I who had abandoned you, without any hesitation. While running from the dark lord I started to develop feelings for uou but I did not have courage to tell you because I knew you deserved someone better. I started to remember how you were before anything related to magic happened , while traveling with you, I also realized then that you have changed much since I last saw you, you were much more cold to everyone and much more distant. You know Sev how much it hurt when you never blamed me for anything. I regret never helping you and ignoring you. When Harry died inside myself I berated you for being a death eater but you never left me. Even today, it was my fault you died. I am sorry Sev, you could have shined brighter and achived anything but due to me you died today, if I am ever given a second chance I would like to correct every mistake I have made" then her eyes closed , darkness took her in embrace.
