Character[s]: Severus Snape
Rating: [PG]
Challenge: Songfics
House: Hufflepuff
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: Lyrics taken from "The Old Apartment" by Barenaked Ladies. While nothing bad has happened to me personally in this apartment other than a robbery, there are telltale signs that make me think it was somebody's old apartment once.
Dated right at the end of Book 6.
Multiple Apparations over great distances were tiring, so he collapsed on the dusty floor, heaving in great gulps of air.
Irony of ironies, this place -- This is where we used to live -- was his safehouse. The Order, and Potter, would not find him right away.
Ghosts of his family, his youth, danced between the slipcovered furniture.
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
For the first time in recent memory, Severus Snape wanted his mother. There was no one to hold him as he cried.
"I'm so sorry, my friend..."
