SPOILERS!!!!!!

I've never written a fan-fiction story before. I'm
always worried I'd ruin the original story for
myself, but after seeing a picture of Snape and
Lily (from Harry Potter) together, I had this urge
to write something. The Snape/Lily love connection
is by far my favourite, and although Fred's death
brought more emotion out in me while I read the
book than any other, the scene where Snape is
cradling Lily's body in the final movie was much
worse for me.

I wanted to describe a similar setting to that of
which Harry experienced after welcoming death, but
with my own descriptions. Harry's place of solitude
was Kings Cross Station, and I felt as though
Snape's might be the town in which he grew up. This
isn't because he had the greatest childhood before
Hogwarts, because he certainly didn't, but because
here is where he first met Lily and probably had
his most favourite memories.
