Epilogue

Harry's POV

"72-year-old Ted Tonks complained of chest pain 20 minutes ago," the nurse told him as they wheeled the patient into Trauma One, "then he lost consciousness."

"Preoperative examination revealed 90% stenosis of left main coronary artery," The nurse went on as Harry bent down and narrowed his eyes at the ECG.

"This is bad. There is myocardial infarction! Hurry!" He turned to another nurse and said, "Contact Dr. Snape and the anastheologist! Prepare for a emergency operation!"

"Yes, Dr. Potter!"

Severus's POV

Severus walked into OR 2 with his gloved hands up in front of him, then took his position on the right side of the patient and said loud enough to be heard by everyone, "Now commencing acute myocardial infarction from the left main coronary artery stenosis, emergency by pass surgery."

He briefly glanced at his husband who was also his assistant. It had been a while since they last worked together in an operation. But by the look of it, Potter was still just as efficient as ever. His reckless side was gone, replaced by a surgeon who lived up to his name as the 'chosen one'.

"Disinfection completed," Potter reported, lifting his green eyes to meet his own.

Severus felt the corner of his lips turn up into a small smile behind his mask, showing his appreciation, before setting aside all of his emotional feelings and concentrated on the operation. He turned to the nurse and said, "Scapel."

"Yes."

He started an incision on the left part of the chest as Potter turned to the nurse and said, "Tweezers. Gauze."

"Yes."

Severus said, "Incision completed. Electric scapel."

"Yes."

Minerva's POV

"….acute myocardial infarction surgery complete," said Severus Snape's voice via live, closed-circuit television.

No matter how often Minerva watched Snape-Potter's operation, as a surgeon she couldn't help a small shiver of excitement and envy. As always, their work was flawless. Since the first time she had met Harry Potter, she had always known that the young doctor would succeed greatly as an emergency trauma surgeon. He had a fast pace that was vital for an emergency situation and a natural passionate nature that could draw the operating staff into his upbeat tempo.

But to her amazement, he was even better when he was assisting. He could draw out the ability of a surgeon to the maximum, and when he was paired with the cool-headed cardiac surgeon of St. Mungo, Severus Snape, it wasn't a wonder if the operation's success rate rose up to 99%. They were undoubtedly the best choice for the patient.

Best partners in saving a life, Minerva thought, and if the news that Albus had told her on the phone was true. Also… best partners in everything.

Her usual stern lips curved upward forming into a smile as she stared out the window up into the clear blue sky. She was always right after all. No storm could last forever. All they needed was a 'little' of her meddling. Her smile turned into a self-satisfied smirk as she walked out of the staff room, her footsteps echoing in the hospital corridor, thinking how gratifying it would be to rub it in Severus's face for a while.

End of Epilogue

XxXxX

Ah, yes, this is the end, at least for now. Sorry for the late update, assignments had been really nasty lately. *bows* It would seem that Minerva wasn't as clueless as Harry had thought. And even it wasn't written in this epilogue, I would give small leaks at what happened the in between story: Riddle wouldn't give up easily, but with fairy-godmother Minerva at Severus & Harry's side, I didn't think that Riddle would succeed in sabotaging their relationship. *grins* Thanks so much for following to this story to the end and for all love & support that I had received. *waves paws* See you all (hopefully) in my other Snarry story.
