“Severus.”
Standing by the window, Severus ignored the soft, familiar voice. “Are you in here?”
Severus sighed. “Yes.”
The door opened, soft footsteps approaching from behind. When firm arms surrounded him, Severus closed his eyes. “I’m fine.”
“You’re not.” Harry kissed the nape of his neck. “But you will be one day.”
Swallowing hard, Severus leaned into Harry’s embrace. “They say she didn’t suffer.”
“I’m sure she didn’t.” Harry rested his chin on Severus’ shoulder.
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Then we won’t.”
And, in silence, they watched as, outside, the hearse drove away.
“Goodbye, Mum,” Severus whispered.
