"Severus I want to ask you something." She was looking out at the green coloured lake of Hogwarts, lying down beside him, their hands touching, but not holding another's. He looked towards her, his dark eyes looking at the back of her head, the luscious caramel curls spreading through the grass. She turned her head towards him and he nodded slowly, he was stunned by her beauty in the sunlight;
"Do you love me?" her question was laced with curiosity and friendliness. He couldn't tell her. She would think him a fool. He smiled nervously and took her hand in his, running his thumb along the back of her hand softly.
"Of course I do, Andy. I love you more than anyone I have ever known. You're my best friend." At that she frowned slightly and moved closer and pressed her lips onto his, ever so softly;
"No I meant, do you love me?" She had just kissed him. He just stared.
