"I have been thinking about how thankful I am for everything, Harry. I do not think about that enough anymore. I did, right after the final battle, but once things settled down and I resumed my position as Potions Master... well, I became used to the mundane routine again, and I tried to put that whole episode out of my mind."
Harry looked at his lover with surprise. Severus never referred to Nagini's attack anymore. Something must have really rattled him today.
"Of course, you did!" Harry cried. That's what you were supposed to do. We all did. You had to go on with your life. The thing I'm most grateful for today is that you still have a life to go on with… that I finally got the opportunity to know the real you. We were given a second chance at happiness and I don‘t intend to waste it." Harry's voice cracked slightly as he finished talking.
"I was thinking the very same thing," Severus said softly. "That I am eternally grateful to have you. You took care of me while I was recovering, rarely leaving my bedside for more than a moment. You held my hand through the worst of it, and I shall never forget that, Harry. I do not think that I would have wanted to go on, if it had not been for you." Severus impulsively reached over and stroked Harry's cheek gently.
"I feel that way too, Severus. Without you—my life would be a much colder place.
“I love you, Harry James Potter. Will you marry me and stay with me… always?”
Harry flashed Severus a brilliant smile, unable to hide his glee. Harry couldn’t believe he’d just received a marriage proposal from Severus Snape. This same man had told him once that he would never make that kind of commitment.
Harry threw his arms around Severus' neck, pressing his body close and whispered breathlessly in his ear, "Yes… always.”
