I waited for you.

Honestly, I did.

Through wind and rain,

I waited to renew our sin.

We shouldn't be meeting

Outside the Potions Door.

The others, they'll hurt us

If they discovered your whore.

I waited for you

Till the clock struck three.

You never showed.

Only the darkness was there to comfort me.

The shadows were poor imitations

Of your warm embrace

Obsidian eyes

That makes me melt in place.

I walked back to the tower

Of Red and Gold

And lay down to sleep

Cold and alone.

The next morning at breakfast

You still didn't show

So I went searching

I needed to know.

I found your quarters,

They were damp and bare

The bed hadn't been slept in

Personal effects just weren't there.

I suffered through the day in silence

But the stares the others sent,

Full of shame and fear

Told me what the others meant.

At dinner came the pronouncement

You had left

Been caught

With another student, no less.

I trembled in fury

YOU BETRAYED ME!

But tonight I'm still waiting

Hidden where the others can't see.

I hear your voice in the stillness.

It speaks but three words

"Harry, I'm sorry."

In my heart, they struck a chord.

"Severus..."

The only word I can say

I hold out my arms

And you sweep me away.

Together we left

The other student forgotten

Together is how we were meant to be

Forever.

You betrayed me Severus.

I never forgave you

And you never forgave me

You'll cry for mercy soon.

You are mine

And I am yours

And with this betrayal

We shall exist

Forever.
