Haunted

After a long time talking together, and getting to know each other, he glanced at his watch, \'definately still the Severus I knew!\' his dark eyes widened, as he quickly got to his feet, \'my you\'ve grown\' she thought as she saw his full grown height. \"Shall I show you to your accomodation?\" he offered her his arm which she suprisingly took and he led her back to Hogwarts thinking, \'Well, it\'s not everyday you get the chance to have a beautiful lady on your arm now is it.\'
\"By the way, I hope you\'re into your potions.\" he joked leading her down into his dungeons.
\"You teach down here? Potions?\" she asked, smiling as he led her into a very familiar room.
\"Yes.\" he replied \"My rooms are just through here.\"

He watched her jaw drop open and then close very quickly again in every room that he showed her. \"Do you like it?\" he asked smiling once more.
\"Like it? I love it!!!\" she exclaimed very close to him, her arm still round his.
\"Would you like a seat, my lady?\" he asked politely, \"and shall we drink to your success at getting the Defence Against the Dark Arts post. I have complete faith that you\'ll do better than Umbridge.\"

They chuckled together on the sofa, \"I see you have a personal gym, you don\'t mind if I use it during the day do you?\"
\"Not at all.\"
\"Thanks, I think it\'s about time I got back into shape.\"
\"You look fine to me.\"
\"I\'ve looked better.\"
\"And you share my thoughts towards Umbridge.\"
She rested back onto the sofa closing her eyes, smiling openly, but his mind was elsewhere.

...A whole year had gone by and they now often slept in the same bed together, but never did anything other than kiss and cuddle. However slow this relationship was going, when he looked around at everyone else, his was the relationship to have lasted, they were still together.

At current they were in bed together her head on his chest. \"Berni?\"
\"Mmmm...\"
\"I think I\'m in love.\"
She kissed his chest, her hands running up his body.
\"I think I\'m in love, with you.\" he finally said.
Suddenly her face was infront of his and they were swapping spit like never before. Her hands wandering all over his smooth bare skin.
He voiced an idea that had been brewing up inside him for days, it was met with, shockingly, enthusiasum.
\"I can\'t wait for tomorrow now, ooo... this is going to be great!\"
\"Until tomorrow then.\" he said sleepily his eyes closing.
\"Severus\" she said.
\"Mmm...?\" he replied not opening his eyes.
\"I love you.\"...
