Against All Odds

~

The time to make his feelings known had never come. He had watched Harry become a man, had loved his mother and hated his father, had saved Harry more times than he could count.

And yet, in the end, he could only warn Harry, show him of his feeling for his mother, leaving out the crucial details of his own feelings for Harry himself.

When, against all odds, he awoke in the infirmary to people sending him admiring glances instead of scorn, Severus wondered what had happened.

“Welcome back.”

Staring into Harry’s eyes, Severus thought perhaps time had caught up.
