The sickly green skull hovering above the destroyed house in Godric’s Hollow tore at his heart, but he’d already howled his grief in Dumbledore’s office, shrieking like a wounded animal.
It hurt to see the place where she and Potter had lived, but this was his last chance…
He found her in the nursery, crumpled on the floor by the crib. Her whelp was gone, but he didn’t care about him. Kneeling next to Lily, he ran a hand through brilliant red hair, closed dull emerald eyes.
(The. First. Time.)
(The. Last. Time.)
Snape knew he would always hate autumn.
