(This if five years later)

Severus Snape glared at the letter in his hands that he had just recieved from Harry. This was so infuriating!
Why couldn't he of just come here in person to explain? He had to use a letter to do his dirty work! Blast him!

~Severus,
I need to go to America for two months. There are three extremely elusive snakes that were
ordered from Madam Veleroy Vasigns that can only be found here. I'm sorry that I couldn't come
and say goodbye to you in person, but I really need to go. I'll see you in two months!
Love,
Harry~

Severus crumpled the paper up in agrivation and shoved it into one of the hidden pockets in his robes. He then
left the Great Hall and went downstairs to his dungeons to prepare for his classes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Harry stared out the window of the muggle plane that he was sitting on. Three years ago, Harry had begun his
snake business that had been surprisingly profitable, and caused little or no stress meaning that he didn't
strain his heart at all. Since he had found something to occupy his time once more, Severus had returned to
Hogwarts to teach since the Potions teacher that had replaced him was incompitent and had quit the year before,
claiming that she just couldn't handle the stress of watching children destroy their cauldrons every day.

Harry felt bad about lying to Severus. He wasn't really just going to America for those three snakes. They were
relatively easy to locate and capture, that part he hadn't been lying about. But six months after he had been
informed that he could no longer teach, he had put himself applied for a heart transplant in the states since
wizards and witches over there didn't recognize his name as much as other wizards and witches did here. He
had just recieved confrimation that they had a heart for him. He wanted to surprise Severus.

Severus grinned. It was the last day of school and he had just recieved an owl from Harry informing him that he
had just returned from America. He was estatic. It had been two long months since he had seen his lover, and
he was planning to let his lover know exactly how much he had missed him.

He waited eagerly for the end of the day so he could leave and go see his lover.

Harry was preparing their bedroom for a long night of lovemaking. He was planning on letting Severus know exaclty
how much he had missed him.

His doctor had been a good witch and had helped him strengthen his heart so his body wouldn't reject it. After two
weeks of taking nothing but potions that made his new heart seem more and more like his old one, except stronger,
like back when his heart was still fifteen years old, and now he was perfectly healthy, with only a thin scar on his
chest as evidence that he had indeed gone through a change.

Yes! The day was finally over! He could go home to see his lover!

Yes! The day was finally over! Severus was finally going to be coming home!

Severus apparated home and walked in through the front door. As soon as he did, he noticed the black rose petals
lying on the floor that led in a trail through the house. An envelope laid on the floor with his name scrawled elegantly
across it.

~Severus
I just can't wait for you to come to me. I have missed you so much these past two months. I can't wait
for you. Follow my instructions and you'll get a treat. Remove your clothes and follow the trail. Your next
note is in the kitchen. Hurry. I'm waiting for you.
-Harry~

Severus shivered with anticipation.
