Snape had returned to his home in Spinner’s End for a few days, so one night he found him self out walking, much had happened & he needed time to think on some of it. There where things he could not change & the things he could we, some where best left form doing any thing right now & others he knew would have to be dealt with & soon.
Though he walked on not thinking to greatly on any matter so far, he knew it would come with time & that was something he ether had a lot of or could be ended very quickly. It was then that he found him self on a street he normally did not go but, he decided to go tonight. As he walked on he could smell the smoke, he was not that like a fire place smoke or any that he could think would be good & with that he quacked his pass it only became clear where the smoke was coming form as he saw the flames on the house.
Drawing closer he could see people coming out form the house, thought as one came out they had to be almost dragged, for they where fighting & saying they wanted to go back, that there was there child still in the house, fallowed by the one that held her telling her there was no way to get to the child.
Snape was in his normal dress, as he approached the people he had asked where the child was & oddly he got the answer though, he was told the child could not be gotten to. Snape had taken off his cloak making sure he had his wand but, it was hidden before he turned to head into the house, the fire department had not shown up yet so Snape would see if he could not get the child out.
He had thrown up a spell that would keep the heat at bay & also keep the air clean around him, as he moved threw the house though it did not take him long to get to the room the child was in, he had seen why the people had not been able to get to the child, though that did not stop Snape he mealy cast a spell & was in the room, he had too look a moment to find when the child was, for the place was getting blacker with smoke & he knew he needed to get out & soon.
Snape moved to pick the child up out of the crib, making sure to take a blanket with him for the child to keep them warm once they got out of the house. With the child in hand Snape started to work his way back threw the house but, that could of caused it to fall, he had though about using a spell to stop the fire but, that could be seen as suspicious so for now he let it go, he made it out of the house dropping the he had put up before getting out, though it still did not keep the hint of smoke getting into his clothes.
As Snape exited the house he could hear the sirens of the approaching help, giving over the child to the mother, who was grateful beyond words he knew & so shaken by the though of losing her child only, to find she had not lost them . Though the people had begged Snape to stay, he took the moment they be distracted to grab his cloak & disappeared into the shadows of the night.

Reniara had just come back from a late night at the Ministry, her mood a little bitter because of her boredom. Breathing deep, Reniara's attention picked up as she smelled smoke. It was then that she heard the sirens, and for a moment, Reniara felt as if she was back at the Organization standing admist its flames as she destroyed the place from hell.
Shaking her memories off of her, Reniara began to run towards the direction of the smoke and sirens, finally arriving at the burning house. A family stood around each other, their clothes covered in soot. Reniara knew they had to get medical attention soon, so their oxygen intake wouldn't be limited. Running up to the family, Reniara asked. "Is everyone all right? Do you guys need anything?"

The people heard the sirens before they saw & heard Reniara once person spoke saying they where fine & all now. And another was speaking on why it was happening to them, likely in shock over what had happened. One more person had asked if Renianara had seen the man that was here just a moment ago. That they wanted to thank them, for saving there childes life but, did not get the chance & did not know who they where.

Reniara listened to the people talk, and describe the man who had saved their child. They remembered his facial structure and the clothes he was wearing, and the first person that came to Reniara's mind, was Snape. But why Snape? Why did Snape help? Reniara thought quickly. "Ok, I think I know who it was. I will tell him that you wanted to say thank you and if its not too late, I can come back and tell you what made him stop to help you guys." Reniara said, as she smilled to the people and then briskly walked off into the darkness.
Snape had continued to surprise her. He was a puzzle that couldn't be figured out, and she knew that would drive Aldar nuts. Was Snape good or bad...was he on thier side or on the DE's side? Was he? Reniara sighed, maybe Snape wasn't so black and white, maybe he was more grey. Reniara walked around, looking for any sign of Snape, particualrly footprints in the snow. She would have to put all her judgements aside if she were to keep from going crazy from trying to figure Snape out. Maybe, just maybe, he was one of the few people in the world that could never be figured out.

Snape had continued to walk he threw his cloak over him self once more but, that did little to slow his steep. He had done a good deed & expected nothing from it, he did not need it & besides who would believe it? He was not seen as a kind many or caring for that matter, no to most he would always be a Death Eater that killed & enjoyed it but, what few could ever know unless they where part of the D.E. was one did not just up & leave, death was normally the only answer to such a freedom from it.
Though he was the type that liked to pull the run out from under people when, it came to his actions for he had learned keep doing such things & one could never fully figure you out or your motives. So in the end it worked for him, though the draw back was there was none he could really trust & he did not think anyone really trusted him ether so it had is price.
There was only the light sound of snow being crunch under his boots but, he knew that soon he would head home, he had taken his walk & it had been eventful so it would be wise to return before anything else happened.

Reniara knew it would useless trying to find where Snape was, so she did the only logical thing, she went to his house. Reniara stood outside in the snow, leaning against the lampost that was right outside his house, as if to appear she could really be going to any of the homes nearby.
Reniara would wait for Snape to come by before she would go and talk to him. But, she had to think of what exactly she would tell Snape. She was used to only talking to him, as in a playful manner of fighting, but now she had to deliever a sincere thank you from the people, and on her part, she wanted to thank him as well. She knew it took bravery and pure kindness to go through a burning house to rescue someone even if one did have the ability to do magic, and not stay to be thanked.

Snape had not stayed out much longer then when he first decided to return home, though as he moved closer to his home he saw the shadow of a figure, his fingers of one hand moved to his wand with out making it noted. Though they held as he saw who it was Reniara, he did not know what she was doing here & he could not say it was good or bad but, he knew that he felt anger flicker threw him at the idea it would not be good & his voice only proved it “What are you doing here Reniara?”

Reniara looked up at Snape, noticing his position. "I'm was just on a stroll through your lovely neighborhood and decided to stop by to say hello." Reniara smilled, teasing Snape.
Reniara still smilling, "Actually I was walking around trying to forget about work and such when I smelled smoke. Being the curious individual that I am, I went to investigate and found a wonderful family. They were telling me quite excitedly and gratefully how a mysterious man had saved their child. From the discription they gave, I think that man was you....and you do smell a little bit like smoke." Reniara was standing away from the lamp now, her coat beginning to be covered with tiny white flakes.

Snape heard Reniara words though he watched her closely, he found it hard to think she would stop by just to say hello but, then he could not say Reniara had not come here to do that but, he did not think so. With her fallowing words he watched her more closely his body & expression did not tell there was any truth to it. “Of course I smell a little of smoke, fire places are known to do that & I am not that man you seek” He was more annoyed she was thinking it was him, he was not suppose to be seen as kind to such a degree. “If that is all you came looking for, you are wasting your time”

Reniara looked at Snape, she couldn't believe he wasn't owning up to this! "Snape, I know it was you! Ok!? So stop pretending to be the mean guy all the time, and just accept the thank you from the nice family! I'm not going to go around telling people that you saved someone, I know you, as from denying it, want to keep it a secret. You just cant go on living like this!! From at the party when you watched Sabrina, I saw that look on your face. Its a look I barely see on anyone and its one filled with kindness. Do you want to die alone!? Don't you want someone to know at least one good thing that you did?! Don't you think you're hurting yourself more by not allowing yourself to be liked or even loved!!??" Reniara took a deep breathe, the color rising to her cheeks. She would die just to have someone understand her, and here was Snapes chance, and he was just driving himself further into the dark, lonely pit of despair.

Snape listened to Reniara “No you do not, all you have to go on is the words of these so called people” Snapes eyes narrowed some “I will live as I choose” And as he spoke his next words they where cold like & held the sting of a whip “I am alone, even if I did something good it does not chance a live time of deeds, so why should one start” His tone took on a warn such as such things would never be “No for I know what comes form such foolish actions or dreams” Snape moved to pass Reniara, he had not expected to come home & speak of such matters but, much of it was true.
(As a heads up you can fallow Snape into his home if you want)

Reniara followed Snape. "I know it was you because there really isn't anyone else that looks like you Snape. You have very distinguished features, plus no muggle would of been able to get into that house and back alive to rescue the child. If you don't want to admit to it then fine. I still stand my ground that you helped the child." Renaira was unmoved by Snapes tone of voice or the fact that he was going into his house.
"So, whether you admit to rescuing the child or not, thank you. You will always be remembered for your wonderful deed and they....or rather...I... hope that someone returns that favor to you someday, and that you let them." Reniara knew she already owed Snape a lot for what he had done for her, and she had the feeling that many of his deeds had gone left unnoticed.
As if moved deep within her soul, Reniara knew what she had to tell Snape. Running her fingers through her hair, as if a little child telling a long kept secret, Reniara spoke softly. "Before...I....well when I was a child...well someone close to me always told me before I went to bed, to make the best of life. To love, to laugh, to be happy. To fill your world with wonderful memories, and to share them with your closest friend, with anyone. They told me to share my memories and to keep my memories of them, so that when we die someone will remember us, and we will be able to live on. We will be able to live on after death in a place filled with hope, peace, joy and most importantly love." Reniara paused.
"I think you saw some of my memories Snape when you removed my scar, but thats ok. I never let anyone know the real me after the person who told me that to me was murdered. I.....I just don't want you to die all alone....I don't want you to be remembered for something your not. I....I want you to be happy, to be appreciated...to be loved...to live on." Reniara paused, looking up at Snape.
Almost as if getting embarassed, Reniara bit her lip. She had never told anyone that story before. Her father used to always tell her that before tucking her in. She rememberd her parents and all their wonderful memories they shared together. She wanted someone to remember Snape too, for who he really was, even if put their life in danger. Reniara knew it would be worth the risk, if Snape did ever want to open up to her. Though, for now, she would keep her memories of him, and secretly, she would remember Snape for who he was, for his pure deeds of kindness, even if they did go unnoticed.

Snape moved to enter his home, he heard Reniara words hard not to the way she went on but, she did not know the half of it of what he had done in his life, what he had lost. She was still young in a world that was open to her & she could not under stand where he was coming form, to lose your true love more then once was not easy. To always be for most the blunt of there jokes or anger, he also found it odd that she would say he did not want to be alone. He was not married or dating so it, was clear to him that he wanted to be alone why else would he be still.
“I but, you see I have no friends & believe me there are those that is the worst to tell anything such things to. You really think it will matter to anyone if I die, no & with time I will be forgotten & my line ends with me”

Reniara looked at him. "Snape, I would care if you died. I would be shattered, heartbroken. You're really the only person that I've seen more than once, and who has actually cared to take notice of me. I know I don't know what you've been through, of what you have lost. But, I understand what its like to have your whole life taken away from you, before you even have the chance to live. I want to be there for you and I will be there for you, even if you don't want me to, Snape."
Reniara paused, looking into Snapes eyes, "I may be young, but I know that age doesn't matter when it comes to the ability to understand. Its how you grow inside. How you turn your darkness into light, or rather the darkness around you into light. I know I'm not the best example of that. Though, it tears me apart to think of you never having anyone, to never let yourself be loved, to think that you aren't worthy of love, or that you cannot ever love...whether that be for the first time or the thousandth time over." Reniara reached out her hand, pulling slightly on Snape's cloak.
"I want you to know that you're not alone. I want you to know that someone cares, I care. I care about you, Snape, because youre the closest thing I have to life. I cant fathom what it is like to die alone, but I know what its like to live alone. To have everything and everyone you love disappear, taken away from you, or to turn your back on you. I know what its like to be forgotten, abused, used multiple times even when you tell yourself over and over again that the next time they will actually listen, will actually care. I know what its like to live as if the people around you wished you were dead or didn't exist. I don't want that to happen to you and if it's already happened, I want to show you that there is hope. That life can be full of love even if it seems like youre the only person in it who is capable of love!" Reniara spoke softly, the words pouring forth as if something had been unlocked inside her.

Snape heard Reniara first words he said nothing to it but, he doubted she meant it she was simply trying to gain his trust, likely to get something out of it but, he as not going to fall for it or believe it. Though as Snape listen on he heard her, it was starting to get old that she told him he was not alone & he said he was, why could she just not let the matter rest, did it matter that greatly to her? But at her touch he drew away from it, true he was not use to such things but, it was more then that to allow her such a simple thing would mean perhaps to her that she was getting threw to him & getting to him, he could not allow that. He turned to look at her as he removed his cloak, before tossing it onto a chair before he looked Reniara in the eye “Do not speak to me about, hope & love, such things are long gone. You know nothing about me or what I have done or am capable of doing should you push me too far” Though he was not in the mood for a fight he would give one if he had to.
