Poem:
Long forgotten memories swivel in the disregarded Pensieve,
Through which he recalls his past in a moment of unadulterated grief.
A stolen kiss stirs in him raw emotions, leaving his soul in turmoil,
In the dungeons, the chains constricting his heart will at last uncoil.

Drabble:
A year passed from the last time I saw your face. My heart is still aching. I’m battling with myself - what if I take a last look?
Forgotten memories float inside the Pensieve. My need is so much to see your face again that I plunge into the first memory, which has just emerged from the mist.
“Snivellus, what happened to your greasy hair?”
“Leave him alone Sirius!”
“Remy, why are you defending him? He’s a bloody Death Eater!”
“James, you should be ashamed of yourself! What would Lily say if she sees you?”
“If I didn’t know you, I’d swear you have feelings for him!”
“Humph!”
“Let’s go inside James. Let’s leave him to comfort the sniveling Slytherin.”
-
“Severus, I’m sorry for…”
“LEAVE ME ALONE!”
Another memory emerges to the surface and a similar incident is occurring. This time, he lets me comfort him - He cries on my shoulder, broken like a child, he tells me that if it wasn’t for me he’d be expelled. He wanted to hex them with a curse he’d just learnt - I was his only friend, he continues, and then he direct his obsidian dazzling eyes to mine and kisses me passionately.
I leave the Pensieve shaken. Without realizing, ‘Severus’ escapes from my lips, the memory of the kiss brought back such a raw emotion to my numbed heart, that I almost - almost forgot about Sirius. I stand up and head straight to the dungeons maybe - maybe, not everything is lost….
