He's broken, shattered, defeated.

Worst of all, he's discovered!

In all his life, in all his year as a spy, he managed to preserve that hidden part of his soul - what left of his soul anyway.

Staring at the fire, Snape wondered if he lost the ability to cover his tracks. How could he let his guard down? How could he let his control slip that much? On the other hand, maybe Remus had some ability to influence his actions. Did he...?

He knew the answer.

He tried to suppress it.

He struggled against it.

Yet, somewhere deep inside - he knew. He always knew. He isolated himself, repressed all his needs. He did not need ...did not deserve....

After all these time, someone was there. It was just that. Proximity. Echo of old childish dreams. Nothing more. Suddenly, he felt like all air left out of the room. Potion kept his heart still, but his eyes were burning. He started to gasp for air.
