Author's Notes

Just a little ficlet here. It was meant to be a drabble but I went over 100 words.

--------------

"So, you weren't actually buying potions ingredients."

"No."

"You were actually having sex. Cheating on me."

"Yes."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

He hesitated. "I assumed that you would be the one to end it."

"So you want this relationship to end."

"No. Do you?"

"I want you not to have cheated on me."

Pause.

"Are you even going to apologise?"

No reply.

"Of course. The great Severus Snape doesn't say sorry."

"I'm sorry." The words fell out of him, before he could stop them. How? Harry was right, he never apologised. He felt perfectly justified in what he'd done.

Didn't he?

Harry was staring at him, but then nodded. "I'm not breaking up with you, Severus."

Truly?

"It'll take time to go back to the way we were."

I know.
