After everything that had happened at Hogwarts, he decided to leave, start a fresh life away from magic and everything to do with it.
That’s where Severus met you.
Standing in the hallway on the building complex, playing with your neighbours kids when he was moving some small things into his flat.
You smiled at him and it was something he had never seen before, radiant, beautiful, as if the sun itself gave up its light just for your smile to shine so brightly.
He was a bit unsure about getting to know you, but he did, and he was over the moon that he did, because watching was you danced around the hallways of his flat while laughing to yourself he couldn’t ask for anything more.
He never thought he’d fall in love again, but here you were, and he could call you his, and say with both happiness and pride that he was yours.
“You’re going to fall.” He called softly.
“I won’t, it’s fine!” You giggled and carried on.
Severus cracked a small smile.
He was totally consumed by you, so deeply in love with you sometimes it hurt.
But he wouldn’t trade it in for the world, no amount of magic or potions would make him change his mind.
It was getting late, and he knew you would be leaving soon.
You stopped dancing, gasping for air a little as you turned around to your boyfriend and beamed at him.
“Are you busy tomorrow?” You asked.
You padded over to him and leant over the back of the sofa where he was sat with a book in his lap.
“No, I do not believe I am. Why?”
He looked up at you, and you reached out, brushing some hair from his face.
With that, you kissed him, said bye and made your way next door to your own flat and all he could do was roll his eyes.
He didn’t really want to go shopping, but you did, so as long as he was with you he’d be okay with it.
He smiled to himself, and wondered how he never saw you at Hogwarts, apparently you taught there too, so you knew everything about the world he was from which he was thankful for.
Apparently you had left straight after the war, not wanting to waste any time whereas he stayed for a year before moving away.
But sometimes he knew it was hard.
As the following day came around, he got ready and walked over to your flat, using the spare key he had been giving to let himself in.
“(Y/N)?” He called again.
He started to looked around for you, checking all of the rooms until he finally came up to your bedroom and he pushed the door open.
There you were, sat on the floor rocking back and forth, tears streaming down your face as you hands covered your ears.
Quickly he rushed over and crouched in front of you, placing his hands over yours to make your eye lock with his.
“It’s okay, it’s over. It’s over…” he whispered.
You shook your head and took a shaky breath.
“It’s.. it’s not.. they’re hurt.. they’re all.. they’re hurt..”
“No, no. They are all fine, you saved them all remember? You saved them all, they are okay.”
He sat down next to you, gathering you up in his arms to hold you tightly.
He kept whispering that it was okay, that everyone was safe and okay, but you were still panicking so he did the only thing he could think off.
Pulling his wand for his jacket pocket, he case a small spell, and watched as your eyes followed the little butterfly flying around the room.
It was your favourite animal.
He knew you loved it when he did things like this.
Severus sat there, you in his lap, casting little small butterflies around your room while you just watched, silent tears streaming down your face.
“I know, I know…” he whispered.
Severus placed a kiss to the top of your head and carried on holding you, keeping your hands held tightly in his own.
You rested your head on his chest, ear pressed to his shirt so you could listen to his heartbeat.
It was strong, steady, so was his breathing.
You two just sat like for a while, Severus was aching and wanted to stand up and move around, but you had fallen asleep in his lap so he stayed there.
He knew you’d wake up in your own time, so he simply just held you, his arms around you, head on yours as he listened to your soft breathing.
Kissing your head, he sighed a little wondering if there was anything else he could do to help you, but he’d had to wait for you to wake up in order to ask
