Dear Lily,
Remember that time you touched my hair in fifth year? I haven’t washed it since.
Love, Snape.
But from time to time you may get a glance of sadness in my eyes. It’s really not you, it’s my insecurities getting the worst of me. It’s my past running through my head. It’s the mistakes I’ve committed. It’s my overthinking.
“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
