She dropped to her knees her hands gripping her hair;
"Ted… why?" She cried softly, for the man she married, the one she had learned to love. The man who was her best friend for years. It's only when she felt the comforting hands of a love once been when she stopped the tears from pouring. The comfort of his hug and soft murmurs into her ear. She took in his long-forgotten smell and held him tight;
"Severus… It's been too long." She croaked her voice full of grief, but with that glimmer of hope. Hope for the long-lost love.
