Annabel Lee

A near mute, Annabelle Emaciare is a friend of Severus Snape through his harsh and painful years of childhood, staying by his side even at Hogwarts for all seven years. Annabelle, who spends much of her time reading Edgar Allen Poe and writing short stories, she can't help but harbor feelings for her closets friend. And though she is quiet, the sweet girl is the only person Severus feels that can understand how he feels, and the feeling is mutual since he is one of the few people she actually speaks to.

The only thing that Severus does not understand about Annabelle is the way she acts. Her strange way of always smiling even in the worst of situations baffles him. Why won't she ever open up and react, or why won't she speak of her past before he met her?

These are the trials of a modern day Annabelle Lee, her mysterious past, and her love for a greasy haired boy.
