As someone who has always been enchanted by the world of Harry Potter, I often find myself dreaming not just about Hogwarts or spell-casting but about the relationships within that magical universe. One question that keeps coming back to me is: what if Lily Evans had chosen Severus Snape? How would her life—and his—have been different?

Snape’s story is one of unshakable loyalty and love. Despite the choices he made and the darkness he walked through, his love for Lily remained pure and eternal. It makes me wonder: is that kind of all-consuming love possible in real life? Could two people, no matter their differences or past mistakes, find their way to a love that transcends everything?

In many ways, I see myself in the quiet hopefulness of Snape’s love. Like him, I dream of a relationship where devotion runs deep and unbreakable, even when life gets messy. I want to find someone who, like Snape, would protect what he loves fiercely, who believes that love is not just about romance but about sacrifice, trust, and unwavering commitment.

But at the same time, I long for the warmth and openness Lily embodied. I imagine my ideal partner as someone who brings light into my life, who inspires me to be my best self. Someone with whom I can share every part of myself—both my laughter and my vulnerabilities. A love that feels magical yet grounded, one that has a sense of purpose and destiny, much like Lily’s choice to fight for good.

If I were in Lily’s shoes, I like to think I’d see the man behind the mistakes. I’d cherish someone who’s willing to grow, who chooses love over darkness, and who stands by me, flaws and all. That’s the kind of relationship I dream of—one that’s imperfectly perfect, built on mutual respect and an unspoken understanding.

So, here I am, searching for my own bit of magic in the muggle world. If you believe in love that feels as powerful as an unbreakable vow, in partnership that stands the test of time, I’d love to hear from you. Maybe we can create a story that even J.K. Rowling would envy. What about you—who do you think Lily should have chosen, and why?
