Pairing: Lily/Severus

Prompt: BLOSSOM


She was perched on the swing, a bird poised to take flight. Her hair formed a curtain around her face, shimmering in the early morning light, a vivid red, yet glinting with golden streaks.

He stayed crouched behind the apple blossom tree. She had walked into the park, and he had dashed for the cover of the tree. She hadn't seen him using magic, she couldn't.

He gazed at her, swinging higher, higher, in amongst the blossoms on the tree, sending them scattering to the ground, a soft pink shower of rain.

She herself was like a flower.

Delicate.

Fragile.
