Eternally Yours
I am not a man capable of dealing with the lighter side of emotions easily. The harsh circumstances of my upbringing made certain of that. But I have to admit the idea appealed to me.
On the day I was scheduled to leave my home of eleven years to go to Hogwarts, my father pulled me to the side in order to talk to me. He took great pleasure in berating me, and insulting everything from my looks to my personality, before making a comment that would burn its way into my brain and become the statement I would live my life by.
\"Severus,\" he said, \"you\'re going to run into all kinds of people at the school. Most of them won\'t want anything to do, while some of them will try to use you, so make sure you think with you head and not your heart. Remember nothing in life is free. Pleasure always comes at a price.\"
Armed with what I considered to be a good credo to live by, I made sure to guard my heart, and strove to never let my emotions rule my decisions. A few people came close to making feel something deeper, but for the most part they never succeeded. There was always something missing, some key element needed to push me over the edge, which never came. So imagine my surprise when I realized I\'d fallen in deep. I\'d begun to think I was a freak of nature because I was the only one from my house who hadn\'t been in love at least once. When I came to this stunning realization, I threw everything I was, everything I had, mind, body, and soul, into making it work. There has never been a time in my life when I have felt so loved, protected, and happy.
So when my relationship came to an abrupt end in the aftermath of a cruel joke that almost cost me my life during my sixth year at Hogwarts, I closed off my heart, vowing to never allow myself to fall prey to that emotion ever again.
Until now.
