[This article is the parent-generation if line of "Who Will Give Who a Complete Life", and it is still the story of Salome Polignac and Severus Snape. The story spans a long time]
By September 1973, Severus Snape had spent two full years in the castle, long enough for him to figure out his talents and identify which books in the dust of the restricted library were worth the risk. Therefore, he thought that the third year was just a monotonous repetition, just like he was sitting in the middle of the Slytherin table at the moment, with dry grass clippings, fine and gray-green, clinging to the sleeves of his school robe.
Then, he saw her. The French girl from afar was measuring her unfamiliar territory like a predator—who was the prey, who was the same kind, who could be ignored, and who needed attention. He thought she was beautiful, wealthy, and capable, and he warned himself not to get close.
Many years later, when he sits at the teacher's desk in this auditorium and once again stares at the candlelight in the dome, he will recall this September night. He is not aware of this moment yet, but in countless sleepless nights, he has repeatedly confirmed that this is the beginning of his irreversible fate.
Intention: Because you have the strength and benevolence to see through my veil, but the years have been so indifferent, and you can see the true face of my soul.
