I Will Always Remember You

Lily

As Harry closes my eyes as I say my last words to him, I am taken away from the horrible world. Finally. But now I have millions of questions. Will I see her? Will she hate me or will she still love me? I am afraid to find out. Now I am taken to a whole new place. I see so many people, some I know, others not. I never really had many friends growing up. A lot of the professors respected me, but did they actually care for me? They never really found out the truth though, now Harry knows. I think of one person who was really ever there for me. Lily. Now I look around and I see Dumbledore.  He walks up to me. "So," he says. "What happened?" I look down. "You-Know-Who sir. But I was trying to protect the boy." That was my job in the first place right? "You've done well Severus. I am proud and so is she. " I thought, " She sir?" I then realized who he was talking about. I looked around frantically. Lily was here? I am afraid of what she will say to me if she finds me.  "Hello Dumbledore." I hear her angelic voice. It is just as beautiful as I remember. "Hello Lily. Lovely to see you here." Dumbledore said as he came closer to her he whispered, "Do you recognize this man?" I put my head down. "No, I don't. Should I?" My heart crashed into a million pieces. "Look closer. You will see." I slowly turn around to face worse fate than death, the face of beautiful Lily. The one who I actually loved and then lost because of that stupid Wormtail.  Everyone blamed her death on me. WHEN ALL I DID WAS TRY TO SAVE HER SON TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE MISTAKES I MADE. "Sev?" Her voice broke. I looked up. "Hello Lily." She stood there mouth open wide for she could not believe that it was me. Then she ran into my arms. I was taken aback. But then I wrapped my arms around her and I hugged her tightly because I didn't know how long my little piece of heaven would last. "I've missed you so much Severus." Her tears on my shoulder. Now I start to cry. "Oh Lily. I've missed you so much too. I am so sorry. I did everything I could." She pulled away and looked me in the eyes. "I know Sev. I understand and I will never be able to make my amends to you." I looked at her quizzically. "What do you mean Lily? You did absolutely nothing wrong!" I looked at Dumbledore. "I want to show her Albus." Dumbledore nods. I look at Lily. I say "This is for you, my darling." I took out my wand and said "Expecto Patronum" Then the silver doe came out. It danced around Lily then disappeared. She looked at me. "Me? After all this time?" I smiled and said, "Always." She started to cry again. I grabbed her and pulled her into another hug.  Then I hear, "What's going on?" I turn my head around and see him.
