“Have you heard, Potter?” Miller said.
Harry looked up from his parchments. “Heard what?”
“The Prophet’s reporting that Severus Snape is alive and living in the Muggle world.” Miller shook his head. “Poor old bastard.”
“Well that’s impossible, isn’t it?” Ron chimed in. “We saw Snape die.” He smirked. “Just goes to show that you shouldn’t believe everything you read.”
“Yeah.” Miller tossed the newspaper into the bin. “Stupid piece of rubbish.”
Once alone, Harry looked at Ron. “Thanks,” he mouthed.
Ron grinned. “No problem, mate. Give the poor old dead bastard my regards, will you?”
Harry laughed. “Will do.”

“You’ve been spotted alive in the Muggle world again,” Harry said when he got home.
Severus, reading, looked up. “Again? Perhaps I have a Muggle doppelgänger.”
“That must be it,” Harry said, removing the book from Severus’ fingers and tossing it aside. Sliding into his lap, he purred, “I’m sure he’s a sexy bloke.”
“Indeed.” Severus caressed Harry’s flank. “He’s probably quite rich and successful, too.”
Harry laughed. “And he probably keeps a stable of young lovers for his pleasure.”
Severus smirked, kissed Harry deeply. “If so, he’s a fool. I’ve found keeping one young lover to be infinitely preferable.”

“Maybe it’s time we reveal that you’re alive,” Harry murmured against Severus’ chest.
“Are you prepared to deal with the consequences? Bad enough the wizarding world knows you’re gay and living with an older man, but should they discover I’m Severus Snape, that could ruin you.”
“So?” Raising his head, Harry kissed Severus. “You should have your life back.”
Severus sighed. “You’re my life.”
“What about research? Potions?”
“I do that now.” Severus smiled. “And, as Septimus Prince, I’m respected.”
“Okay.” Harry nodded. “But anytime you want--”
“I know.” Severus closed his eyes, content. “But being dead has its advantages.”
