The Squibs had been destroyed.
The Mudbloods had been eradicated.
The blood traitors had been obliterated.
Now the half-bloods are up for extermination.

The crowd was surprised to see him in the execution line; as a former Death Eater, favorite of Voldemort, his place in society should’ve been secured.
Whispers reached his ears; former students wondering if it was really him, really Severus Snape waiting patiently for the Killing Curse.
Severus didn’t care about the onlookers, or his impending death; he was remembering the day the Mudbloods had been eradicated, the day his Hermione had stood in this very spot.
***
In the new wizarding world, where the Dark Lord ruled with an iron wand, the worst crime was love between the blood-castes.
The crowd jeered as the executioner read the charges – relations with a Mudblood, his impure ancestry – but he wasn’t listening. Instead he was replaying Hermione’s last words – I love you, Severus – and recalling her last kiss before their arrest.
I will be with my Hermione soon.
So different, the Gryffindor lioness and the Slytherin snake, yet so perfectly matched. Their love had been a balm, their salvation in the dark and deadly world of pure-blood supremacy.
“Avada Kedavra!”

Reminds me of "They came for the communists and I didn't speak up because I wan't a communist, then they came for the jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a jew, then they cam for me and no one was left to speak up" or along those lines.
Severus...

And you know, that quote does sum it up quite well. I didn't think of it when writing, but it certainly mirrors the first part.
