Twenty-Fifth Stir || [Video]

[There... is a lot of shattered glassware and a cowering warp stalker when the PCD turns on. It's like a tornado's blown through the place and rent everything apart. And indeed one has, in the shape of one Severus Snape who's standing in the middle of it all. He actually doesn't look that different from normal, really, except for the fact that if ( Read more... )

Snape...

[She hates what this place pushes people to; but she feels instant sympathy for the man himself.]

Are you alright? Were you hurt? [That much shattered glass looks dangerous.]

I'm sorry. I was really the worst this week, wasn't I?

I hardly paid attention as I had better things to do.

[Implicitly suggesting that he thinks that it's her nature normally.]

I see.

[She wouldn't call those things 'better'; but right now, she takes him at the face value of 'I wasn't paying attention to you'.]

I don't really know what to say, so...

I'll show you that I meant my promise. All I can do is show you.

Not interested.

That's fine, too. I still won't give up. If I did something I regret, I'm not trying to change for someone else. I'm changing for myself, so I won't have more regrets.

And yet you are still just talking, and to someone who hardly cares. I doubt you're serious about this supposed change of yours.

Are you serious about yours? [She asks this mildly, as a true question, but firmly.]

About my what?

Then do you plan to do the same things you did this week?

I am still the same man.

I don't believe that. I've seen how you cared for Lily. I've seen the things you've done to help people here. You've cheered me up before, too.

I don't at all believe what you want is what happened this week.

Has it ever occurred to you that up until now, everyone has only seen one side of me? It doesn't matter what I do, I am still the same man.

[Still the same Death Eater, despite how many lives he had tried to save. Still damned.]

[No. Not damned. Not if he's changed his ways. She's a girl who'll soon look into the eyes of the woman who destroyed 80% of the galaxy, and tell her it's not unforgivable, there's a new beginning to hope for.

For Snape, too.]

Everyone has different sides. But, the things we regret, the things we change, are also still changes. We start over.

The things we regret? The things we change?

[There's a cold laugh. He had, had regretted and changed, or at least had believed himself to. Had thought that he had become a better man, if not good man, at least a less evil man. That it hadn't been completely due to Lily and her death. But with this event, with him never having met and befriended Lily... He hadn't changed, he'd only been a selfish man fighting for revenge. He hadn't changed because he'd become better, merely because Lily was gone and he didn't want her death to go to waste.]

Naive.

It's not naive. [She's watched so-called enemies become dear friends and allies. She's seen repentance. She's seen change.]
