A/N: I don't own Harry Potter
"Run away with me, Lily. We can leave tonight, no one would realize until we've put distance between us and them. It's not a victory, but at least you'd, at least we'd be safe."
"I can't leave him, Severus. We both know that. Even if I wanted to..."
"Do you?"
"Does it matter? He's not going to spare me if he finds us. No matter what you've offered him. He's a maniac, a murderer. If anyone should run, it should be you."
"Me?"
"Yes, you, Sev. I know what you've done. You're lying to both of them. You always despised Dumbledore. Why would I believe for one moment you suddenly decided to trust him? What did he promise you?"
"He'd protect you... and James... and Harry."
"I figured as much. I don't trust him either at this point. He's been poking around, asking questions about James' cloak. He wants to borrow it. Maybe I should trust him? I mean, James does. Never mind. Severus, if you truly do love me, want the best for me and my son."
"Our son, Lily."
"Shhh! The walls seem to have ears lately. James can not find out the truth about Harry. Not yet, maybe not ever. Look, run, get somewhere safe, somewhere away from all of this, from the men who want nothing more than to claim your soul."
"Why should I, Lily? Why should I run when you're here, in danger? Do you really think pretty boy James can protect you? That Dumbledore will hold up his end of the bargin?"
"No, that's why I'm going to follow you, once it's safe, if I can."
"Promise?"
"I promise, Severus."
"Then seal the deal with way we used. Seal it with a kiss, Lily."
"There! Does that convince you?"
"It does. I'll send for you when I'm safe, my sweet Lily."
"Good-bye, Sev. I hope... I hope I'll see you soon."
"Good-bye, Lily."
