Omg follow up to the post where severus never forgives his parents and passes his mom on the street, how would he react? If she looked better or if she looked the same? Or if she reached out to him?
- Severus graduated from Hogwarts and took a full time job at the apothecary. He was still living in the back room but Jigger let him clear out one of the storerooms upstairs and charged him a small amount in rent.- he enjoyed his work, he'd brew under Jigger's supervision and was saving to study for his brewers license. - six months later, he was walking down Diagon Alley on his day off when he spotted a familiar figure, shrouded in a doorway. - Eileen called out to her son as he walked past. He turned to look at her and saw how thin she was, how sunken her black eyes were and unpleasantly yellow her skin had become. He could see the bruises on her thin wrists.- He looked at her and asked "are you still with him?"- Eileen looked away and whispered that it was "complicated."- Severus snorted, turned and started to walk away. Eileen called after him but he forced himself to ignore her.- the next time he saw her was when her coffin was being lowered into the ground.
