Three men quietly entered the large church and took seats at the back. Glowing candles gave a festive atmosphere to the cavernous room. The youngest male did a double take when he saw a family enter.
“Yes, Harry. That is my paternal grandmother. Those are my aunts, uncles and cousins. See where they sit? Your mother and her family always sat at the end of the same pew. Lily and I were side by side, and your aunt Petunia sat on the opposite side of her parents.”
Harry squeezed Severus’ hand. This glimpse of his mother was an invaluable present.

Charlie wanted to hug his lover. He realized by sharing a bit of his past, Severus was making himself vulnerable. This was a very rare treasure given to both him and Harry by the private individual sitting between them. It never ceased to amaze him how open Severus could be with his lover. While theirs was not a conventional relationship, Charlie knew no one would every care as much for Severus as he and now Harry did.
Bells chimed calling the congregation to stand and a choir began to sing. The two visiting wizards followed the lead of their lover.

Severus was bracketed by his Master and his lover. Their presence in his life was a soothing balm. Technically, both males were his lovers. He trusted one of the men with more than just his heart.
The rhythms of the mass called to him. It was easy to fall into the familiar if not practiced routine of stand, sit and kneel. At the sign of peace, Severus gave Charlie then Harry a quick kiss. He didn’t give a fig about convention. They were his family and he bestowed his affection without a thought for how others would see this display.
