Visitation

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you. You must go back, Severus.”

“Lily?”

“Yes. You must go back Severus. It is not your time. My son needs you still. He knows the truth now, and his heart will be open to you.”

“What? I—no. I’m dead. There is no way back. Shouldn’t I be hearing angels reciting poetry or some such thing?”

“You were always a stubborn one, Severus.”

“So you told me more than once.”

“You needn’t act so cold. I know you, Severus Snape.”

“You always did. And then you went off and married Potter. And I made the biggest mistake of my life letting you get killed. I’m sorry.”

“Severus, don’t. What’s done is done. You’ve more than atoned for your past follies. Please do what I ask. Return and take care of my son. He will need love.”

“You believe me capable of love after all this time?”

“I know that your heart is not made of plastic, regardless of what you would have others believe. I know that you care for Harry. It is that love and care that will help you both to heal. Let there be peace in your heart for once. Allow love to bloom there with my blessing.”

“What makes you think that your son could ever love me? He is a Potter.”

“He is also part mine, and we were friends once. He will return your love in ways that I could not. He has too much love in his soul to do otherwise. Let yourself heal, my friend. It is time to live your life instead of simply existing within it.”

“How can I, Lily?”

“Allow Harry to help you. He has great respect for the sacrifices you’ve made. He loves you, even now.”

“As you never would allow yourself to.”

“I couldn’t see past the darkness in you. Your core is good. Harry will nurture that.”

“There is darkness as well.”

“There is light and darkness in us all. It is love that keeps the two halves from overpowering one another. Now go. You haven’t much time.”

Severus opened his eyes, gazing up into familiar green. “Harry…”
