Order of Merlin

Harry smirked as he watched the Potions Master receiving his Order of Merlin, Second Class. Surprisingly, the usually snarky man didn't snarl more than once or twice as he moved around the room receiving the thanks and adulation of a grateful Wizarding World. Severus even managed a tiny smile as he posed for the photographer.

Harry was very happy for the man he loved. Severus deserved all the recognition he had received and more, after all, the man had created a cure for lycanthropy.

It wasn't until they were alone in their quarters that Severus pumped his arm in the air, fist clenched. Then whooping with delight he picked Harry up and whirled them around and around until they were both quite dizzy.
