With trembling hands, I cradled the vial in my hands. The vial of memories from the man I had loved all those years ago, that had just been bestowed to me in said man's will.
I had no idea what memories he had stored in what was now safely resting in my hands. Memories of our time together? Or what he did after we were apart?
I wasn't sure what they would be, but in my mind, it didn't matter. It had been so long, and I wanted to hear his voice again, see him once more, even if it was only a memory.
Whatever lay inside, I owed it to him to look. He had made sure that I received these upon his passing, so clearly it was important to him that I saw them.
I smiled as I ran my fingers over the glass. Even after all these years of no contact, he still cared.
Fuck what the world said about him. Severus Snape had a heart, and this was clear proof of it.
I wiped away my tears, walking over to the pensive I had stored in my apartment. It was an odd thing to keep, I know, but I enjoyed looking at my old memories. They helped me feel better when I was upset.
I gently unstoppered the delicate vial in my fingers, and poured out the clear liquid into the mixture in front of me. When it was done, I tucked the vial into my pocket, and leaned down into the memories.
The memories that I soon discovered were of me and him.
