Oh my, that is so sad! Poor Snape! There is more to this story, isn't there? Who is this girl, and why did she not only reject Snape but reject the whole idea of love? For a moment I was worried Snape's potion was going to kill her! I'm so glad that didn't happen. This was very bittersweet just as it was. I think you did a great job writing this sad story. Your language in particular really conveyed the tragic feelings of rejection and loss that Snape felt. Wonderful job! Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!! ~Gina :)

Author's Response: Well, if you want there to be more to the story... I might be tempted to write another one-shot on Annabelle and from her point of view. =]
