Scandalous.
That's what I would use to describe our relationship.
It was dark, mysterious, alluring.
Holding onto one another's hands, we ran as fast as we could to the rose gardens. Panting but laughing when we finally got there, we sat down and stared at the white lumiscient moon. It was a slightly chilly night.
I recall that you were shivering slightly, due to your lack of warm clothes. I immediately held my cloak open and scooted closer to you. Placing my arm around your slender waist, I held you close as you leaned on my shoulder, content to stay the way we were indefinitely.
Travelling to the past was a good thing I suppose. But I knew all good things had to come to an end. I kissed you just before I left and told you of my intentions, hoping you would feel the same for me still when I returned to the impending future.
I stood in front of Dumbledore. I had never felt so apphrehensive then. What if the potion didn't work and transported me to another time? Then I remembered that you had created the potion and it couldn't have gone wrong, so I took a gulp of air before downing the potion in one go.
Dizzyness overtook me as I was lifted into the air unceremoniously then. The world spinned around me unrelentlessly and when I was finally dropped, I retched as hard as I could.
Finally getting my bearings, I saw you, now tall and grown. You saw me and you looked, well sad. I frowned at that sight and tried to move towards you, but my dizzyness overtook me and I lay unconscious once more.
When I woke up in the Infirmary, the first person I saw was you. You looked worried and loving, while stroking my cheek with your thumb.
"I missed you so much, Alex. Or is it Harry now? My heart tells me that I still love you, but will it ever be enough? I am old, broken, ugly..." you whispered, tears pooling in your eyes.
I quickly hushed you with my finger on your lips. They were still as soft as they were when I kissed you.
"It is enough, Severus. I knew who you were when I started to love you. Will you let me take care of you, just as I did then?"
"That was what kept me alive after all these years, that you would come back and love me once more..."
I hugged you tightly, letting him cry all your pent up emotions up. I rubbed your back, allowing you to just cry out loud.
Soon, you quietened down to whimpers and I spoke comforting words to calm you. "It's alright, I got you, I got you. I'm never leaving again. I love you, Severus."
"Love..you...too," and you turned to kiss me.

Both of them poured all their emotions into the passionate kiss.
The next day, the Headmaster was at Severus' private quarters, searching for him. Somehow, he was not surprised to hear silent breathing and two bodies flushed and tangled lying in the bedroom. He just smiled and silently closed the slightly ajar door.
