His Mother's Eyes

Fingers that smell of blackcurrant and asphodel snake along Harry's jaw, and a thumb jabs beneath Harry's chin, forcing his gaze to the man that holds him in place. Harry can see those black eyes searching his own every time he falls asleep, and it's no different now; now that Snape's alive, he seeks out Lily's eyes with the same desperation as when he thought he was dying.

Harry's never been more than a painful memory for him--a reminder of a bully and a love lost forever.

"That is not true." Snape's voice has never recovered from Nagini's bite. It scratches at Harry's insides, makes him long for the deep baritone full of caustic remarks or even barely-concealed hatred, but the days of docking Gryffindor points and failed Occlumancy lessons are from another lifetime. They're both just left with this.

Harry knows his thoughts are free for Snape's perusal; he never did bother to properly learn to shield--there's nothing to hide anymore. But he doesn't need Legilimency to know that Snape is lying.

"I am not lying." Snape's eyes betray his words, still lost within Harry's, trying to capture whatever's left of Harry's mother and find some comfort. Harry will never be what Snape truly wants; he's never had any disillusions about that fact. He doesn't care. Because when Snape is buried inside him, those black eyes boring into his, Harry can forget.

Harry threads his fingers through Snape's along his jaw, broken nails scraping over skin, and he whispers, "Make me forget."

OMG! You wrote me Snarry? Brilliant! And it's just perfect. Love the damage to Snape's voice, how he still looks into Harry's eyes searching for Lily's. And the tactile descriptions. Wow. You are amazing. Thank you!

Yes I braved Severus for you, my love! (Though you'll notice that I stayed very deep inside Harry's head, lol) I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I was hoping it wouldn't be too angsty. ;)

You wrote Snarry? I'm awed -- I've never attempted Snape myself! I love the description of his voice scratching inside, and how different it is from when he was a child. Well done!

Thank you!

And you shall notice how far inside Harry's head I stayed so I would not have to really delve into any Snape motivations. ;) I think this is my third time with Snarry and my fourth maybe writing Snape overall, but the man scares me.

Thanks for reading it, hon! :D

Count me among the ranks of the impressed for tackling Snape, and Snarry to boot! The loss of his voice was a punch to the gut, alright. And ooooh, legilimency! Lovely job, darling!

Thanks, dear! This is the third time I've been in Snarry waters, but I only last for a maximum of 500 words, then I've got to scramble out of there! I really do not like this pairing so much, but I don't argue with the muse!

(Pssst - since you wanted typos pointed out, it's "Occlumency", not "Occulmancy" :))

Oh, this was so sad, but very believable. Though I wonder why Snape even bothers to deny it? He never struck me as kind. Though perhaps he thinks that Harry might put a stop to it if Snape admits the truth. Great job.

I have to admit, Snape's motivations are a mystery to me normally, and no, I don't think of him as kind either, but in my head, I sort of think that Harry's being too black and white with this--too pessimistic. But also that they both need each other, and yes, perhaps Snape is lying because he's afraid if he doesn't, he will lose Harry.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I'm glad you liked it. :) (And LOL @ icon)
