Prompt:Goodbye (Hello)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing:Severus Snape/OFC
(Nope still don't own Harry Potter)
Severus Snape opened a small wooden box that he kept the few mementos that he permitted himself to keep. The box contained three photo, the first was of his mother taken before she had met Tobias Snape, but after she had graduated Hogwarts. He smiled as he looked at Lily's photo, it was of her (and only her) in her wedding gown. He put that aside looking instead for a small broach that was his mother's, he thought it would beautiful on his wife's new dress robes. He came across their wedding picture, they both looked young in it, she looked happy, he looked… content. He flipped that up and kept looking for the small velvet box. He found the box under a well well worn envelop and he pulled the box out but his mind was on the letter and the first time he saw it.
Severus Snape, 20 year old newly appointed potions master frowned as he finished unpacking his worn suitcase and came across an envelope that had S. Snape on the outside. After casting multiple detection spells on it he picked it up and opened it and began to read the short note.
Dear Severus (my Potions Master)
I am writing this letter to say good-bye. While I really enjoyed our many dates together, I felt that many times you were thinking and wishing I was someone else. I am sorry, please come and see me when you can commit to US in a relationship.
Love
Me
Severus stilled as he read the note, his breath caught in his throat and he realized what he was losing and could have already lost. He hissed when his dark mark flared signaling that the Dark Lord wanted him and he stoically put the note in his pocket. Later…
Severus looked nervously down the hall of the small apartment building and found door number 6. He knew it was late, but this couldn't wait. He knocked on the door and a few seconds later knocked again. He heard movement behind the door and a sigh before it was unlocked and opened. She leaned against it, not inviting him in but looking inviting with her hair tousled from sleep and her short nightshirt, "Severus, it's late." She said.
He stepped forward but she didn't move and he smiled at her before leaning down and kissing her softly on the lips, "hello, my name is Severus Snape, I would very much like it if you would be in my life." She stared into his dark eyes for several long seconds before she sighed again and let him into her apartment and back into her life.
He was brought back from his memories by a voice at the door, "Severus can you zip me up?"
He looked up at the woman who he loved with a deep love and moved forward to help her finish dressing. He gave a soft kiss to her neck as he handed her the velvet box over her shoulder. "It was my mother's, I would like for you to wear it."
She turned around in his arms and smiled up at him, "I would be honored, my Potions Master." She kissed him than stepped back letting him pin the broach to her dress.
(Okay, so my dear John letter sucks, but I went completely blank on this trying not to make it sad!)
