It was nigh on dusk in their timeless land.

"Look," Harry cried, looking down at his hands, "I'm young again!"

"And you've a problem with this?" They were hand-in-hand, walking down the stone-paved lane to their cottage. The others were waiting for them there.

A sudden thought occurred to Harry. "Can we still do magic here?" he asked.

Thoughtful for a moment, Severus slowly answered, "That's probably best answered by Albus, but I think the magic here is all around us rather than within us."

"Do I get to keep all the knowledge I have now?" A wicked glance spoke volumes.

"All our old knowledge, coupled with all this... young energy." Severus chortled, tightening his grip on Harry's hand. "I have plans for you tonight." Their strong fingers entwined.

Stopping, Harry eyed his husband, remembering him at this age, when they'd first become lovers under the onus of the spell, silently grateful it was gone. His gaze roamed unhurriedly down the lean, lithe body, his deep hunger evident in his half-lidded eyes. "Only tonight?" he asked, licking his lips with the tip of his tongue, making Severus, with a ravenous growl, lean in to taste him. With a gleam in his eye, Harry asked with faux concern, "Are you certain you don't want to go a bit younger?" At the narrowing of Severus' eyes, he continued blithely, "Your poor, blighted back. Ring a bell? I wouldn't want to injure you..."

"Impertinent whelp," Severus rumbled, pulling Harry close, his hands exploring anew hard muscle.

Harry chuckled. "Ignorant prat," he said, his hands sliding down familiar slender hips.

Daring lips claimed tempting ones. "Blind Seeker."

"Professor Snape," was spoken harshly, the wanton hands stroking smooth silky skin.

"Mr Potter," Severus ground out, their hot, wet tongues stabbing.

"I am here," purred softly.

"I am here," said on a whisper.

We Are Together.

Lips meshed, their hearts beat as one. Bidding their blood to run...

At this rate, we'll never get to the cottage...

Just shut up and kiss me.

The tapping of an impatient foot on the stone pavement... "Do you two mind? You have eternity for that. We have a party to attend!"

"AL-BUS!"
