“Resume your former post,” he commanded as if it were nothing.
Severus tried to empty his mind as he waited, but thoughts continued to emerge.
‘What if he sees this time?’
‘He never can.’
‘That was before he killed her.’
Severus snapped his mind closed. This was not the time. If he was thinking of Lily, of his love for her, of her death . . . he could not Occlude such emotions.
The door opened. “Severus, I am surprised.”
“My Lord,” he fell to one knee. He would know within moments if he would succeed or die. Perhaps he could join Lily.
********
Author’s Notes: I imagine it must have been extremely difficult for Severus to resume his life as a spy. Not because it was dangerous, but because he had to pretend to be loyal to the man that had murdered the love of his life. Thoughts?
