Summary: It would be so easy to take just a few steps forward and put his hands around her neck and snap it, snap it so hard that she wouldn't feel a moment of pain. Two steps. Two hands. Snap.

Author’s Notes: Thank you to the deeply_horrible mods for running this fest and for their endless patience. Thanks to A for the beta read. All remaining mistakes are my own. I intended to show Severus’ development from the coward who kills (Lily) with a kiss to the brave man who kills (Albus) with a sword.
