[Lily wakes up hungry which is a change for her. She eats but because she's dead, she hasn't been really hungry since she arrived in the City. Once she's showered and dressed, she puts on tea in the kitchen and begins a rummage through the cupboards and ice box to find something to eat. She nibbles a bit at that and this, putting it all back after ( Read more... )

[Snape has figured out how to have this thing alert him when someone from his world has a post. So instantly he's pinged to Lily's trouble. Wasting no time, he rushes out of his house and whips out his wand. The memories he has are the most precious of all.

Lily's smile.]

EXPECTO PATRONUM!

[The silvery light becomes a doe in an instant, rushing to Lily quickly. Once it gets to her, it runs around her to get her attention before turning and walking towards the beach, looking back at her and expecting her to follow.]

You don't have to be anything but yourself with me, Lily.

[And he will care about her no matter what. Even if she is all those things, he never expects them of her. He's willing to accept all aspects even if they include tears and weakness.]

[She is absolutely not going to admit to herself that the only other person she knows she's had that kind of acceptance from is James. That brings things way too close to Severus loving her. She's not ready to admit that even if she does knowsuspect it. It is wonderful though, knowing that he's not going to think less of her regardless of how she behaves or what she says. It gives her a feeling of freedom she hasn't had since arriving here.] I miss everything about home.

[And then she's quiet again for a few seconds.]

You became a professor at Hogwarts. Was that right after I died? Did you work there long?

It was 1981. You were already dead at that time. I had failed to protect you.

[That moment still haunts him and always will.]

Sev...I hardly doubt you had the power or the sway with Voldemort to stop him from hurting anyone. I never expected you to protect me. That wasn't your job.

[The silence on the other side says that he doesn't agree. That he should have tried harder. If it hadn't been for him, she could have lived a long and happy life.

It's all his fault.]

[She knows what that silence means and since she can't hug him without wanting to take a bite out of him, she slides her fingers a bit further under the door, knuckles scraping against the floor.]

So you believe that single-handedly you should have been able to stop the most powerful wizard, with the possible exception of Dumbledore, from the one goal he was fixated on. Severus...I don't blame you You shouldn't blame yourself.

[As best he can, he threads his fingers with hers, trying to offer as much comfort as he can. Because clearly he thinks he needs it more.]

[And she's of the opinion that he needs it more than she does. She's quiet for a long time, just sitting with their fingers kind of awkwardly threaded together. They've already delved into the heavy questions as far as she's willing to at the moment but she's not ready to sit there in silence. It's too easy to be overtaken by the cravings and the hunger that the curse has left her with today.]

Is this a very big closet?

[Because why does he need a windowless room that locks?]

No. It's a room that where I removed the windows.

[He's just that good.]

[She's a little surprised because she never doubted Severus would be a powerful wizard but that is quite powerful.]

You removed the windows? [That she's a bit impressed may show in her voice.] Why?

I had to guide you to a room that didn't have any. Otherwise your hunger might lead you to climb out of one.

[He was trying to help basically.]

[That gets a little bit of a bitter laugh out of her.] You removed the windows in the room for me.

[It's sweet. In a way.]

Of course.

[Another thing that no one would guess Severus Snape could be: sweet.]

Thank you. That was very thoughtful of you. [She pauses a moment.] Also, very impressive.

It was a simple enough spell really. I can put the windows back later.
