Severus left the lily on the grave, a pink splash against the marble. He did not turn back – he did not reach with a twist of magic to cast a preservation spell or push the graveyard into unseasonal bloom.
The world did not stop.
The heavens did not open to flood the world and turn the life that was left into mud and misery. The sun did not darken. The shadows kept their normal hue and places.
At the gate, Severus turned. The dot of pink was indistinguishable among the graves – one headstone next to its mate, among its fellows.
