„Rise and shine !“ Lily whispered in his ear. She brushed a thick strand of jet
black hair out of his face that had fallen across his eyes during the sleep of
the night. He was awake at once, his dark gaze focussing on her delicate
features.
“Breakfast is ready, Molly and Arthur and the others are waiting downstairs … “
the words died on her lips. His intense, dark gaze was both intimidating, yet
strangely caressing.
She had missed him. She had missed him so much, but she never dared to admit
it. They had been friends since they were seven years old and then during their
schooldays in Hogwarts but then he had chosen the wrong side.
Lily got attached to James, moved to Surrey with him and the child came. She
never permitted herself to think of him again. Servant of the Dark Lord,
Deatheater, traitor, murderer. Sirius had given him such names by the dozen and
Lily had said nothing. Sirius was a friend like Remus, but they were friends of
James and never understood how she could have had one single good word for this
disgusting black haired Slytherin, who had been deep into the Dark Arts the day
he came to Hogwarts. No one had understood but Lily never cared. She had seen
what he really was and he had turned out to be the greatest hero in the final
battle. The battle that brought her back to life after 17 years. Everyone who
died from Voldemort`s hands had returned after he had finally died. Why no one
knew but their world was so full of magic, no one really cared. And Lily didn’t
care as she set foot again on the grounds of Hogwarts to take her son into her
arms before she found him.
He was tired, worn out and terribly injured, but he too was alive again and his
tears fell silently as she came into his arms. He had had no words to greet
her, no excuses, no nothing. He simply wrapped his arms around her and Lily
understood.
And now they were here, at Grimold Place, Sirius` old house, where every member
of the Order of the Phoenix found a bed to rest and Molly’s great food after
all the battles. Harry and his friends were here: Remus, Tonks, Moody, Sirius
and him.
His eyes were still locked on the face as if he never wanted to forget her
features. Most people were afraid of this intense gaze, but Lily had never
been. After all they were friends now, he had never raised a hand against her.
Instead he had protected Harry with his life and lost it at the end. She owed
him so much she would never know how to repay him.
She leaned down and kissed him. His lips were warm and inviting, his kiss took
her breath away. The room tumbled and moved around her. She had to break the
kiss to catch her breath. She felt like the 15 year old school girl again who
had skipped all invitations from the bold Gryffindor boys and ran away to
Hogsmead with this enigmatic Slytherin to spend her first night in a man’s arms
in the dusty, clammy sheets of one of the derelict beds in the Shrieking Shag.
She hadn’t asked how he came across that place and he hadn’t told her. How
sweet the night was, how delicate his touch, how warm his lips on her skin.
Like now.
Their lips met again and the kiss deepened. He dropped all caution and wrapped
his arms around her. She loved the touch of his black silken robes on bare
skin. He hadn’t bothered to undress last night as they returned from Hogwarts.
In fact it had been morning, the sun had just begun to rise. He must have been
so beaten and worn, he only took off his shoes and dropped on the bed. Molly
told her he had send Kreacher down with an excuse for dinner. Or rather,
breakfast. It was already supper time, as Molly had decided to wake the house
for a meal. He wouldn’t have set down with Sirius, Remus and James at the same
table anyway. She would have to take care about that.
His next kiss took away all thoughts and threw her in a wave of pleasure. He
kissed her like a drowning man and her hands had already unbuttoned half of his
black frock coat. He took the carefully arranged needles out of her hair and it
came down as a shiny red wave. His coat dropped to the floor and she nearly
tore off the white shirt to lay her hands on the bare skin of his chest. She
brushed the horrible scar on his neck with her lips and he shivered and moaned
softly at the touch. His skilful fingers had opened her dress and it too
dropped to the floor beside his clothes, leaving Lilly naked in his arms. She
couldn’t take her hands off him anymore, couldn’t stop kissing, touching him
everywhere. He took her hand and pulled her onto the bed. Their lovemaking was
hard and fast and over all too soon and as her mind
cleared she found his gaze locked on her again.
“Severus … “ her voice trailed off once more.
“Shhh, my love” his dark, deep voice was still husky from love.
“They are waiting for you” he said.
Molly, Arthur, breakfast, damn, she thought. How late was she, how much time
had she spend in his arms, his bed? She looked at her watch. 10 minutes. How
could all of this have happened in only 10 minutes? And yet she had seen people
die and return to life in only half the time. He helped her redressing and
setting her hair in silence. His pale face was still slightly flushed and his
eyes were sad. She had wanted to thank him and made everything even more
difficult for them both.
“Severus ” she tried again, but he bend down and kissed her, a deep longing
kiss that nearly took her feet of the ground.
“Now go before they come for you.” He said. “Go, my love” he repeated. His
fingers caressed her cheek and his touch burned her skin and set every nerve on
fire again. He was so beautiful, she could drown in his eyes and die now and
she would have been happy.
“Our love is past, our chance is gone and yet I cannot forget you. Go now
before I can’t let you go anymore.” He pleaded.
Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn’t fight it.
“I love you, Severus.” Lily turned and fled the room, ran down the stairs to
the kitchen where the jolly party of her friends and family were already
sitting at the breakfast table, chatting and laughing. She stopped just outside
the door, straitened her dress, rearranged her hair once more and catched her
breath before she entered, smiling at everyone, sitting down beside her
husband.
“Where’s Severus, Lily, wouldn’t he come?” Molly, all the mother hen and ever-
busy host asked.
“No, no he’s … unwell”. Lily replied.
“He must be dead tired, I can hardly hold myself upwards.” Arthur added
joyfully.
“I `ll send Kreacher up with some food for him later.” Molly said. “He already
missed the last meal, he’s got to eat.”
The talks soon drifted off to other topics. The trials of the surviving
Deatheaters, where Harry was planning to live now or whether he, Ron and
Hermine should return to Hogwarts next year to repeat their last school year
they missed, a plan which Hermine supported loudly.
After breakfast nearly everyone returned to their rooms to catch some sleep.
Remus and Tonks were off to collect their little baby son from his
grandmother’s place. Moody was called to the ministry.
The friends came together again for dinner late that night, but Severus was
gone.
“He left two hours ago, Albus has recalled him to Hogwarts.” James told her.
“You were asleep and he didn’t wanted to wake you to say goodbye and you will
see him again soon anyway.”
“Yes, soon anyway.” Lilly answered absentmindedly. She had found a small letter
addressed to her in her little jewellery box. The writing was his. How he had
managed to place it there without James noticing she couldn’t tell, but Severus
had always been a strong wizard and the Dark Side had taught him tricks she
couldn’t even imagine. James wandered off to the living room to enjoy himself
with Sirius and Lily opened the letter with shaking hands.
“My love, forgive me, but I must leave. I cannot stand being so close to you,
yet ever parted from you. Forgive the love I stole from you and forget a fool.
Severus.”
So, he was gone again. Gone, but not lost. She would send an owl to him
tomorrow, when her thoughts had cleared.
Tomorrow, when life had made a little step towards normality again. Her husband
was standing at the door smiling at her. Sirius` happy voice was sounding from
the living room.
“What have you got there, darling?” James asked.
“It’s nothing.” Lill replied and dropped the letter into the fire where the
flames ate away Severus` words of love.
Lily stood up and followed James to the party.
Yes, tomorrow would be a new day and Severus would be at Hogwarts, easy to
reach, easy to find.
“I love you, my Dark Prince” Lily thought.
“There will be a way for us, somehow, somewhere …”
