Severus? Snape, a man on the verge of contradiction. A man who is abandoned by love but keeps his promise. A hero who surrounds himself with indifference.
Yes, he was an unpleasant guy from the beginning. He is harsh, arrogant, suspicious and lonely. He made things difficult for the worshipped Harry Potter, and he even personally killed the headmaster who was admired by thousands of people. But when his blood spread, he gained people's respect, which should have belonged to him.
It seems that no one can accept his address to Voldemort, the master. Yes, it was so grovelling that even before he died, he was "begging" his master to let him find the boy. But what about his eyes? His eyes were fixed on the snake, which finally killed him. Why? Because Dumbledore said that as long as one day Voldemort stopped sending snakes out to perform tasks and protected it with magic, it was time to tell Harry all the truth. So he waited, waiting in abuse. Finally, he waited, waiting for the day of freedom. He has waited too long for this day.
What he left to the world was just a gorgeous turn; Good old days.
He is always misunderstood, but he is still doing things that only he knows in disgust and disgust.
He is proficient in brain occlusion, he has the enviable magic power of the wizard world, he is good at boiling demagogues, but he has sealed his love in the deepest place, and no one can peep, even Voldemort.
He belongs to no one, not Voldemort's or Dumbledore's. He belongs to himself.
He is willful and self-righteous. In his eyes, love is a heavy luxury.
He is lonely, he is fragile, and he can't even accept Harry's eyes.
However, he is protecting those who hate him, even if he loses his life.
In fact, from the moment he saw Harry's eyes, he was doomed to push himself into the abyss.
He succeeded in saving people every time, but he never became the object of resentment.
Yes, he fought Quirrell's curse, but Miss Granger burned his robe. He was supposed to be the referee of the second game to make sure Quirrell couldn't hurt Harry, but everyone misunderstood that he wanted to stop Gryffindor from winning. However, as Quirrell said, he and Harry's father hate each other, but he never wants Harry to die.
Maybe people are used to warm love. But when will Severus? When Snape used his body to protect his three children in front of werewolves, people buried the real protection with their usual indifference.
In Snape's heart, there is a scar, a scar that even magic can't repair. It was a pain in his heart and stuck to him all the time. He ruined the life of the only person he loved with his own mistakes, and since then, he has been living in what he thinks is self-redemption. He lives in his own world, enduring his own loneliness, and his heart stays at that most painful moment forever.
With his life, it is not status, honor and praise, or even the fair evaluation that ordinary people should enjoy. He wrapped himself tightly in a black robe, but he also sucked the aura that should belong to him into the darkness. However, only he can understand Dumbledore's decision and only he has the courage to push himself into the abyss. He hates that method. Yes, he hates it. Dumbledore doesn't want the children's souls to degenerate, but what about his soul?
When his magic war points to the old man, does he know that he has chosen a path of death for himself? Does he know he has no choice? Does he know that he has pushed himself to a corner where there is no turning back?
He pleaded hopefully and hoarsely. He gave up his dignity and life just for the life of the person he loved. But he hesitated, and he finally put the man who took his lover into this chip. In return, he gave up everything he owned, just for the survival and happiness of the people he loved. Even if he wanted to save his mortal enemy, he was eager to exchange his freedom and life for the survival of Lily and Zhan Mu. I believe his heart trembled when he begged. However, he is too simple and naive. How to exchange life? So simple, he lost everything. The person he loved disappeared in the green light, and he lived in a cold haze from then on.
There is no denying that this deception brought Severus? Snape is a lifelong sorrow, but he still keeps his promise, which is a kind of responsibility and commitment. It is also a continuation of love, a feeling that the world cannot understand.
The person I loved the most died, and everything became less important. What sank in Snape's heart was still those eyes, as green as the lake. Perhaps it was these eyes that gave him a reason to live.
"I'm not a coward, don't call me a coward!" Yes, in the eyes of many people, he is a coward. All the members of the Order of the Phoenix suspect him. He is nothing but a traitor, a spy who will leak information, and a lackey who killed their most beloved headmaster Voldemort. In the eyes of the Death Eaters, Voldemort has never done anything in the ten years since he lost power. He is just a grovelling clown. In everyone's eyes, he is a man who betrayed the whole magical world. As a result, he was excluded from all groups. However, he is the most respectable person. He gave up care, honor, happiness and trust. He bears all the sins and pain of injury alone, just to keep the love in his heart going.
He is fair. Even though he made things difficult for Harry, he gave him due marks in the wizard professional level exam. He doesn't care whether he is praised or not. Seven porters, polyjuice potion? Do you think this is the way that that fool Mundungus can come up with? He is very clever. He led Potter to the lake to get Gryffindor's sword. However, he is also fragile, and Lily's familiar handwriting finally gives us a glimpse of his fragile heart. Tears, in this way, flowed into Snape's heart. He folded the page with Lily's signature, put it in his robe and hid it in the safest place he thought. He tore the photo in half, leaving the part of the photo with Lily smiling. This is all Snape's things.
He paid too much and got very little, but he cherished it all.
The world is cold to him. In silence, he kept his promise.
His death seems very humble and not so decent. However, we can't forget those black eyes, obsidian eyes. We can't stand his leaving. Black man, cover him.
Remember that silver deer? White as moonlight, dazzling. Hold your head high gracefully, with big eyes and long eyelashes. Such a gentle and beautiful patron saint, how can he be an evil and dark person?
Severus? Snape is moving, just like those elusive black eyes, which contain everything and are more beautiful than any light. What he thinks is cruel is actually gentle.
He ended his promise with blood, and the price was too heavy.
He is not a brave man. He has been hiding himself for too long.
He is not a generous man. He never forgave his mistakes all his life.
He is cold, even if he pays, he will not allow others to feel the slightest warmth from him.
He is so selfish that he won't take out that memory until he dies.
He is stingy, he refuses to share his sadness with others, refuses to let people see his tears, and even stingy with his words, even if he stays at the end, he refuses to say more, and even doesn't leave us a chance to breathe.
Look at me.
Three words that make people feel palpitation.
What did he see?
It was the only time he really got what he wanted, but at that moment, something in the depths of those hazy eyes disappeared. He drifted away and never came back.
Eyes as green as lake water finally belong to him.
I wonder what will be written on the professor's epitaph. It's time for people to give him back what belongs to him.
This beautiful soul is finally freed from the heavy burden, but is it too late for people to think about this shining life?
Or only then will people think that bats are not suitable to describe him. Silver, yes, silver, the color of his patron saint, the sacred and beautiful color, this is Severus? Snape's proper color.
Allow me to call him the professor, the tough and strong Severus who can't see his true colors? Professor Snape, may you feel your love forever in the green of the lake.
