Snape couldn’t believe it, he finally did it. The explosion of his attack caused a great cloud of smoke to cover the area where he was barely able to stand. His whole body was bloody, and his legs were on the verge of giving up, but it didn’t matter because he made it, he finally destroyed Potter.

“I finally did it…I made his body explode…He’s gone…Lily…She’s going to be mine and—” Snape couldn’t continue because he was suddenly hit with a stunner.

“I wouldn’t celebrate too early if I were you Snape,” It was James Potter.

He was standing in the middle of the smoke cloud looking completely flawless as if he hadn’t been hurt just like Snape was, in fact, he looked completely fine as he stood there with the smug expression Snape hated so much.

“What? Potter? There’s no way…” Snape mumbled as he tried to reach for his wand but it was useless, the thing was too far away from him.

James walked slowly towards his lifelong enemy, he finally had it where he wanted him, Snape on the ground and he was looking as pathetic as he had always been, a snake like him deserved to be on the ground but this time the snake wasn't surrounded by his friends like in the old days when they were students and he always tried to get James and his friends in trouble just because he didn’t like seeing James and Lily interact.

“Snape, please…I know you think you’re the only one capable of doing some tricks with magic…What you destroyed was nothing but a doll that looked like me…It’s a project I’ve been working on since you guys took over the ministry,” James couldn’t help but chuckle.

Snape was on the verge of tears, his work, all the energy he used, all the magic and power he put into that attack so he could finally kill the head of the Potter house all of that meant nothing.

He, the genius with tons of potential, the wizard with the best notes of his generation, and the second magical just behind Lily was on the ground completely helpless, being defeated by a buffoon who spent most of the time in detention.

He tried to use some wandless casting, however, he soon found himself having his hands glued to the ground, it seemed like the Potter took the proper measures to restrict him.

“I must thank you guys, without you taking over the ministry I still would've been working in the Auror forces and I never would've completed that lifelong project,” James sighed. “Well, I think there’s someone you want to see, right?” Asked James and soon he sent a patronus.

Snape was trembling, he knew who was coming and he didn’t want to see that person, or at least not in his current pathetic state but his mental complaints meant nothing because soon standing in front of them appeared Lily Potter, the most amazing woman Snape has ever met.

“Lily…” Snape said finding it hard to believe this was real.

“Hello Snape,” she said with a cold tone that made the greasy-haired wizard feel terrified.

“Please Lily…” He tried to emotionally manipulate her just like he used to do during their younger years but she just snickered.

“Please what? Now you have the guts to ask for something when you have done nothing but harm to my family? You’re lucky your boss didn’t kill James nor Henry that night eighteen years ago or else I would’ve killed you with my own bare hands, no magic!” Lily said angrily.

“Please Lily I was forced!” Snape tried to pretend but Lily didn’t believe him.

“Stop trying to bullshit me, Snape!” Lily growled. “Just for once admit that all the things you did you did them because you wanted to, the tortures, the slurs, what you did to those girls since your friends took over the country…You did all those things because you wanted to!” Lily was tired of Snape’s attitude.

The greasy-haired wizard’s expression suddenly changed, he smirked.

“Can I tell you something? Please get closer…” Snape said with a low tone.

James didn’t want to, but Lily needed to hear it from the person she used to care about the most when she was younger, however, the moment she got too close he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Yes, I did it for myself…And I enjoyed every second of it!” He said with a wicked smile. “You like bad boys, don’t you Lily? Well, what do you think of me now? Am I being bad enough for you?” He asked with a crazy look.

Lily remained shocked, she didn’t know what to do or say to her former friend, however, she didn’t have too much time to think about what to say because somehow Snape managed to free himself from the gluing charm and soon, got close to Lily before trying to grab her wand but then it happened, Lily didn't know what possessed her but she did it, she had cast a piercing curse on Snape’s heart.

“Lily…Why?” Asked Snape with a shocked tone before looking at the small hole in his heart.

Blood was starting to leak out of his chest and soon, he fell on his knees trying to hold the blood but it was useless as it was also leaking from his back, as for Lily, she was shocked, she was trembling.

In no way Snape was the first man she attacked with a lethal curse, however, he was the first close person she did this with, he was her childhood friend, the boy she would never see as a man or would feel attracted to, no matter how much he could try.

“No!” Lily said before tears started to leak from her eyes before she looked at her hands.

Those were the hands that had cast the spell that was taking the life of her first friend, James quickly ran as fast as he could to hold her, he knew his wife was ruthless when she wanted to be, however, something like this would shock anyone, hell, the time he almost gravely injured Sirius he felt like this, so, her reaction made sense.

“I don’t regret anything…I’ve been dead from the moment you decided you would never love me, Lily,” Snape said in a low tone before he collapsed on the floor as his life slipped away.

Soon, the couple was joined by their children alongside Hermione.

“Mum, Dad!” Said Rose surprised as she stared at the scene. “Is he…?” Rose asked the obvious question and James nodded.

“Yes…He’s gone,” James said with a cold tone as Lily’s sobs increased and the memories of her childhood days alongside the cruelest death eater invaded her mind.

“I would like to say that I’m sorry but…I’m sure he wanted me dead too, also…What he did to Hermione is unforgivable,” Rose said with a cold tone.

Hermione on the other hand went to check if Snape was indeed dead and she couldn’t help but sob, but contrary to Lily, she wasn’t sobbing because she lost a friend but because a person who made her life hell was gone.

“I hope you enjoy your stay in hell you bastard!” Hermione said before she kicked the body of one of the wizards she hated the most.

There was no time to say more because they were soon joined by the order with the exception of Dumbledore but they stopped their questions as they stared at the sight of a dead Severus Snape.

“Sirius…Everyone, what are you guys doing here? Shouldn’t you be fighting against Voldemort’s army?” Asked James with a confused tone.

“Actually…There’s something we’d like to show you guys,” Sirius said with a concerned tone.
