Hermione, please... You promised. Said Severus looking at her pleadingly from the bed.

I know I promised, but I need more time. The children...

The children are all grown up. He interrupted. They don't need me any more.
No! They need you... I need you. I'm not ready to let you go. You are the love of my life, the father of my children. This was supposed to be forever. Not only 18 years together. Her amber eyes were now full of tears. Full of love untold. Full of life.

She knew that his end is near. But she didn't know if she has it in her to end it.

My love you don't want that for me. I want to go while I'm still me, not the shell of the men I used to be. We knew that we don't have much time. But I promise you love that this is not the end. Just the beggining. And I will love you till the end of time.

Do you promise? She asked through tears.

Always. He answered

The amber eyes connected with the black ones. Their minds wispered to each other. Their souls bound forever sang together.

Avada kedavra

Severus Tobias Snape closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

RIP Alan Rickman in our hearts always.
