Snape was absolutely broken by your death. He missed you so much. He hadn't loved anyone since Lily and now he also lost you. He wished he confessed to you earlier.

He was strolling down the corridors around midnight, unable to sleep. You kept him up every night. Dumbledore tried to talk to him but it didn't really work. He just couldn't get over you.

Snape stopped and took a deep breath. He looked at the lake through the open spaces in the wall. You loved to sit there and read, or talk to him. If he didn't ask you to take that walk with him, you might have still been awake. He couldn't help but blame himself.

'God..' he mumbled.

He'd do anything to bring you back. To just hold you once more.. to talk to you once more. He had to stop torturing himself so he continued walking.

He walked through a door and closed it behind you. He glanced into the corridor. He was something in the distance.

'Hello?' He said, wondering if he or she would walk away.

Maybe it was a student out of bed? He slowly walked closer. He then recognised it.

'Y/N?'

He walked a little closer. It was you? Definitely. Snape started running. He couldn't think about anything else, his couldn't see clearly but he kept running. When he came close to you he opened his arms to hug you. You were facing him, smiling. When he wanted to hug you he ran straight through you. He stopped and looked at his arms..

He turned around. He then saw it.. You turned towards him, wearing the smile he loved.

'Hi Severus.' You smiled.

You were a ghost.. He couldn't believe this. He got up and reached out to you. His hand went straight through you.

'Y/N?' He asked.

'Yeah.. look I'm a ghost. Awesome right.' You smiled.

He smiled at your remark and nodded.

'I missed you.' He said.

'I missed you too.'

You floated over to him and stopped infront of him. Snape couldn't stop looking at your face. It was the same but it lacked colour.

'So.. how have you been?' You asked him.

'It's hard.' He said. 'Living without you. I wish I didn't take you on that walk.. You might have lived now. I might have been able to confess to you and have a few days with you together.'

You didn't know he was blaming himself for what happened. You were very sick before that walk already. It wasn't his fault. It was your time to go.

'Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault. It was my time to go.'

'No it wasn't. You were doing kind of okay before that all.'

'That's not true Severus.'

He sighed and you saw a the sadness in his eyes. You knew it wasn't the same.. You were a ghost now. He couldn't hold you or kiss you.

'I'm sorry..' You said.

Snape looked up. He didn't get why you were apologising.

'For what?'

'I know it's not the same.. I should have confessed you to before. I'm a ghost.. I can't hold you.. I can't be with you.. it's not the same. I'm sorry that I'm not the same.'

Snape didn't get why you were apologising. He was so happy to see you. He was glad that you were there. You couldn't do anything about it. This was so much better then you being dad.

'Don't apologise!' He immediately said. 'This is so much better then you being dead. I mean.. I love you. It's great to see you.'

You smiled.

'I love you too.'

You wished you could hug him right now but it was okay. As long as he was there.

'I hope you're staying around.' He smiled.

'Of course.' You smiled.

'Where else would I go?' You asked him.

'I don't know. Home?'

'I'm a ghost. I don't have a home.' You grinned. 'Should you go to bed?' You asked him.

Snape nodded.

'I'll come with you.' You smiled.

You and Snape starting going towards his room. Happy that you two were together again.
