Chapter 16 : Epilogue : Spread your wings

January 9th , Two years later.

Harry was happy. He had a beautiful surprise for Snape, because it was his birthday. After his reconciliation with his protector, he accepted to become a DADA teacher at Hogwarts, for the first to third year, while Severus was teaching to the others. The two men learnt to discover to each other, with a lot of surprises.

However, their relation was very special. Severus was always giving his poems to Harry, who give him his feelings and opinions. In fac, Severus had a lot of sensibility and his poems were just wonderful. But the chosen one know he can count on Severus whatever happens.

A large smile on his lips, he opened the door hiding the other DADA teacher and shouted :

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEVERUS !

- Thank you, harry

- I've brought you a surprise

- Oh what is this ?

Without answering, the survivor took two little packs from his bag. After an hésitation, he took the square pack and opened it. He stayed astonished and whithout breathing when he discovered the notebook cover. A black panther, looking to his animagus form, its paw into a phoenix one.

- Do you like it

- It is just amazing, said severus, tears into his eyes

- I'm happy to know this. I've drawn it. Now, open the first page, said harry

The potions master did it immediately and found a poem.

- How …

- Read it and i tell you later

On the snow of diamonds

A panther walks

Its fur shivering like a black cristal

Trees move slowly

The Panther Walks

It is coming

Proud as a queen

But having the fragility of a rose bud

Its eyes shining like stars

Holding a white rose

Between his teeth

Pure as his heart

Full of hope

- This is just amazing said the teacher, tears of happiness flooding on his face

- it was inspired by your animagus form. Now, take the second pack.

The professor took it and opened it. He was shocked to discover his poems book and a flask with his memories.

- These memories are yours, and I'm glad to know someone loyal and courageous as you.

- I just …. , started the teacher who was unable to finish

- I understand what are your feelings

After a moment, he opened the poem book, and stopped onto a blank page. Harry reminded it was this page where he felt something hidden, without revealing it. Severus concentrated and thrown a spell.

- Me too, i have a surprise for you

- Whaou !

- I wrote it, because I had an impression. It was to tell you that thanks to you, i can face my past, and continue advancing and as the phoenix you drawn, spread my wings.

I believe to revive in the future

Ah, I watch the glowing future

To protect till the end of my days

Blessing written on the cards of time

Carried by the wind overflowing me feelings

I won't let go

Of your love confessed in tenderness

If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up

I was following my memories

If I call for my deep desires

I'll shine again

And flickering I'll go along my path

I prayed to exist in this moment

I won't turn back anymore

Flickering shadows disappear

Darkness is torn

I make a promise

To the wandering through the night sky shining star

Ah, and I dedicate it to you

If living powerfully

Cuddling our sadness

People can kindly protect (each other)

And love of the hearts, which trust each other

Will surround the world

Don't forget this place

For the blessing of the future

If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up

I was following my memories

If I call for my deep desires

Once again I'll go together with you along the shining path

If forever

We will live in our dreams

The time will be leading us God's blessing

And the love of believing hearts

Will surround the world

Harry, after reading, looked at his teacher. He was sincerely happy, and Harry' eyes were brigthing of joy.

The two found the happiness thanks to the other.
