Title: The Last Beginning
Rating: PG-13
The soft pop of a skilled Apparator. Sense another's presence. Shock hidden.
"You lived."
"Yes."
"Funny, that it happened on Halloween."
"I believe Potter planned it this way."
"Your sense of the dramatic must have rubbed off on him."
A glare. "Are the Aurors coming?"
"Hardly."
Pause. "How did you know about this place?"
"You were not the only spy in Albus' confidences, Severus. I imagine
he expected we would run into each other before now."
"I specifically requested no direct contact between myself and the
'slavering mongrels the Dark Lord insisted on attempting to tame'."
"How descriptive." He frowns.
"I did what I had to do to preserve our cover."
"At times, I could have used a friend."
Defeated. "What now?"
"I don't know. What do you want?"
Owls hoot. Water drips. Eons pass. The kiss ends short of lungs collapsing.
Incredulity. "Why? Why would you do that?"
"I am the pendulum, Lupin. And you...."
A silent spell and the kiss lasts all night. Rickety safehouse bed
barely survives:
"There." "More." "Deeper." "Yes!"
"I forgive you."
Soft snores fill the quiet room. Dawn bathes bare skin. Pale fingers
sift through tawny hair.
An answer-
"You are my fixed point."
