Severus was wrecked when you walked out of his life. He was completely oblivious at the fact that he needed you to survive, and that was until you decided to leave.

It was alright, he had Lily with him, that was what he thought.

But then everything started to fall apart. His life was crushing down like a paper plane whilst he watched as you got your life together as you should. You cared more about yourself now that you were not with him. Severus could see what he had lost, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was heartbroken.

He loved you, but he was a fool for not realising it.

Years later he found himself being alone, sad and angry at himself for letting you go. It had been so long since he last saw you since you both graduated from Hogwarts. And he was longing to see you again every day of his life.

But when he finally saw you again, he wished he did not.

You looked as beautiful as ever, so elegant and charming that he almost fell on his knees in front of you. Your enchanting smile reminded him of how you used to smile at him during old days in Hogwarts, assuring him that you would always be there for him.

Unfortunately, your smile was not for him. Severus' heart was ripped out of his chest as his dark eyes landed on your wedding band that you wore so proudly.

His breath hitched when Lucius wrapped his arm around your waist, smiling down at you like you were his whole world. Perhaps that was how Lucius really felt about you, you were his world.

Severus knew he would never be happy again. Not when you were married to another, while he was there, blaming himself for hurting you whilst all you ever did was helping him through everything.

The Potions Master knew the day would come, the day when he had to meet your child. But he was not ready, he would never be ready to know that you had a family of your own. You were happy without him.

As Draco Malfoy came to Hogwarts, the professor's heart almost stopped when he saw your son. A small smile was cracked on his lips, a part of him was happy to know that you had a good life. But his smile dropped when he realised that you had a good life with another man instead of him.

Severus had to admit that Draco was a smart boy. As much as he hated to say it, he was definitely his favourite student. The boy always managed to make him so proud, and knowing that he was your child, it just made Severus wanted to protect Draco just as much as you used to protect him when he was bullied during his school years.

"My mother said she was your friend."

One day, Draco had said to him as he was helping the professor at his office. Severus was flabbergasted to you mentioned him to your son, but he nodded.

"Yes, that's true. What did she say about me?"

Severus was curious. He thought that you forgot about him. He thought that you hated him with all of your heart. Apparently not.

"She said that you were her best friend. She would never forget you."

Draco said casually, not knowing how much his words were affecting Severus. Severus could feel the lump on his throat and he looked away from your son.

You were so kind to him. After all he had done to you, you were still so nice about him. How could he call himself your best friend if all he ever did was hurting you? He was never there for you. He was selfish and you knew it. But still, you never talked badly about him.
