Soulmates

The war had ended. Harry Potter had finished Lord Voldemort with love. In the fields by the castle of Hogwarts where the final battle took place, there stood a circle of witches and wizards. All of them members of the Order, all of them believed themselves closet to their now dead leader Albus Dumbledore. The circle comprised of Arthur and Molly Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick, Alastor Moody, The Golden Trio – Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. In the center of the circle was a man on his knees, his black hair was matted his wand was sitting out of reach. He was breathing heavily and the mere act of breathing was hurting his badly injured lungs. This man was Severus Snape the murderer of Albus Dumbledore. The circle was deciding on his fate whether to turn him in or do him in them selves.
In a last act of defiance Severus Snape lifted his head and stood up and met the eyes of all the eight people ending on Harry Potter himself and spoke “Each one of you belief yourself to be the most loyal to Dumbledore. If that were true, than it would be you all in the center not me. Mr. Potter during your second year, you proved yourself to be Dumbledore’s man and Fawkes came to you in the Chamber. In your sixth year you stood upto the Minister for Dumbledore and yet when he chose not to tell you about the prophecy you turned your back on him.”
Then Snape turned around looking at all the people present there and spoke in soft velvet voice “I accept my fate like I always have but you all shall kill me like I killed Dumbledore. All of us will have our wands and all of will participate in my death. Arthur and Moody know the spell I speak of and your voice shall be Mr. Potter as he was present during his mentor’s death. Potter your greatness weakness was jumping to conclusions before you had al the information. So, what are you all waiting for, I have my wand in my hand all of you have yours. It is very simple direct your energies to Mr. Potter and he shall say the incantation and everyone shall be happy.” Snape finished with a snort.
The circle did as he said on the nods of Arthur and Moody. Harry lifted his wand and stated “Avada Ke…”
“Expillaramus” a shout came from somewhere.
The whole circle looked towards the voice and their stood Albus Dumbledore alive and well. Albus then looked at the figure standing in the center and spoke softly “Severus amore della mia vita are you all right? Have they hurt you too much? Please tell me I am not too late. Sev il mio cuore talk to me please.” Albus begged of the man whom he loved.
Severus looked at Albus and fainted. Dumbledore ran to his love and cradled Severus’ head on his lap and passed on some of his energy to the man. Severus slowly opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of the man who was his soulmate and spoke “You came, for the first time in our history together Albus you saved me before rather than after thank you. Poppy has the potions I need to recover so do not worry il mio cuore I am well and safe. I have some news to tell you I am having our child.”
Albus gave the man whom he loved more than life itself a smile that no one had ever seen a smile full of joy and love. Albus whispered the words “thank you Sev and I love you.” Then he bent his head to give his soulmate a kiss. When their lips met all the people around them felt the magic of the couple’s love for each other.
