Promises and Regrets

[xochiquetzl]

He'd promised himself, back in school, that he'd make James and Sirius leave Severus alone.

Severus had promised Dumbledore not to tell anyone he was a werewolf.

He'd promised Dumbledore he'd take his potion every single month.

Severus had promised that if he found out Remus was helping Sirius into Hogwarts he'd give him to the Dementors.

He'd promised to work with Severus to defeat You-Know-Who, and Severus had promised to work with him.

Severus promised to keep brewing the Wolfsbane. He promised to take it.

He promised himself he would always keep his promises to Severus from now on.

I like how all these promises are so carefully balanced. There's a symmetry here that appeals to me.

Thank you. That's pretty much exactly what I was going for. :)
