"You have your mother's eyes," Snape said.

Harry stared in surprise. "Professor-" he started, but that sounded too formal. "Severus..."

Snape shook his head, and for the first time, Harry realized how close their faces were. Not even five inches apart. Harry's heart pounded as the Potions Master grabbed the collar of his jacket and kissed him. It was awkward at first, and Snape's large nose got in the way. Harry gasped against Snape's lips, but kissed him back deeply, reaching for Snape's hand. Fingers brushed against his own and Harry felt a gentle squeeze of his hand.

When the kiss ended, Harry rested his forehead against Snape's. "I'm going to get help," Harry said, pulling back. "You are not allowed to die, Severus. Understand?" Snape nodded. He stood, carefully holding the vial of Snape's tears.

"We'll watch him," Hermione said.

"Thanks," said Harry, realizing Ron and Hermione had seen him kiss Snape. But neither of them said anything, and Harry didn't really care who had seen.

A month later

Harry took a deep breath as he walked down to the dungeons. He hadn't seen Snape since leaving Hogwarts to go stay with the Weasleys at the Burrow. During the first part of Snape's recovery, he had refused to leave his former professor's side, much to Madam Pomfrey's dismay.

Snape was fully recovered now, he had heard, and back teaching Potions at Hogwarts. Harry was taking up the DADA position, and since the jinx on the position was lifted when Voldemort was defeated, he would hopefully be able to stay. He had been back at Hogwarts for a few days now, and saw Snape at the feast, but they hadn't had a chance to talk about what had happened the night the Potions Master almost died.

Harry passed a group of first years, and knocked on the door of Snape's now empty classroom. "Enter," came the deep baritone voice.

Harry walked in to find Snape sitting at his desk. "It's been a while, hasn't it?" he said by way of greeting.

"Indeed it has," Snape agreed. "Do you need something?"

"Yes, to talk to you," Harry said. "About the kiss."

"What about it?" the other man asked.

"Well...I was hoping there'd be a second." Harry blushed.

Snape raised an eyebrow. "That's quite brave of you to admit, given our history."

Harry's blush deepened. "You were the one who kissed me."

To Harry's surprise, Snape reddened a bit as well. He got up from the desk and went to stand in front of Harry. "What would you say to a relationship?"

Harry blinked in surprise. "I'd say yes."

Snape actually smiled. "Come here, then," he said, and Harry stepped forward. A pair of warm lips pressed against his own, and Harry wrapped his arms around Snape's - no, Severus's - neck. Harry felt Severus's hands on his waist, his body pressed against Harry's-

"Good to see you two finally getting along."

They broke apart and Harry turned to find McGonagall standing in the doorway. "Thank you, Minerva," Severus said, his arm still around Harry's waist. "I'll see you later then, Harry."

Harry nodded and gave Severus a quick kiss before leaving the dungeons, unable to stop smiling.
