Memories of Love [Harry Potter FanFiction]

7 Years Later

Snape leaned over her prone form. The vibrant life gone. The beauty of Lily, her soul, released from the flesh and bone and he wept. The pain wracked his body as he shook, as the scalding heat of his tears fell upon her face and hair. He pulled her closer as the last remnants of her sunshine and life filled his mind and heart. Till there was nothing left, until the emptiness was about to consume him. He gently laid her back down upon the ground. Her eyes closed. Her life ended.

But a the last moment, as he turned to go, the glint of silver drew his notice and the silver necklace called to him. He reached out and the necklace spoke to him, claimed Snape as its new master. He left with it clutched in his fist.  He felt the weight of a barren existence extend out in front of him.
