Author's note: And while I am polishing and tweaking the next chapter for On the Edge... just some little fun/fluff/whatsoever I wrote for the "wedding night" challenge at grangersnape100 over at LiveJournal. Hugs and squishes to Annie for her beta-magic.
"You aren't supposed to be here, Snape."
"Well, I am."
"This was supposed to be my wedding night." She blew her nose.
"Unfortunately." He frowned.
"U–until you ruined everything."
"I did?" A dark eyebrow rose with amusement.
"You're my friend, I would have listened without that entrance of yours."
"Unlikely."
"There was no need to humiliate Ron in front of his friends and family."
Thin lips stretched in silence.
"Molly nearly fainted when you showed her the picture of him and Lavender."
"Understandable. It's a dreadful sight, after all."
"Absolutely." She chuckled through her tears, and he felt himself smile.
"Harry will never forgive you for ruining his best friends' wedding." She plucked at the foolish white Muggle dress.
"Well, that's a first."
"Minerva is livid, too."
"She'll come around. I've done worse things."
He met her eyes in unspoken regret, and his heart stopped when she placed a hand on his cheek.
"I am grateful you did what you did, Severus."
Snuggling with her head against his shoulder, she sighed.
"Although right now, I feel I haven't truly understood why you did it."
He placed his arm around her, thin lips sealed in silence again.
In time, she would.
