The Prince's Tale
Tell him
Tell him his soul is latched to his
it lives within Harry
gives him power, connection
As long as it lives
Voldemort cannot die
Snape stood up.
“raising him up as a pig
for slaughter –”
“you have grown to care for him?”
Dumbledore remarks
“Expecto Patronum!”
the tip of his wand glows
appears the silver dow
Snape’s eyes, filled with tears
“After all this time?”
“Always”

* taken from chapter 33 (pages 686-688) of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows;modified to make it flow better.
