x Harry woke the next morning to an empty bed. He closed his eyes and pictured the day before smiling before sitting up. He wondered what Severus was doing while he got himself dressed.
Severus had woken up early and antsy he decided to let Harry sleep while he started packing, now he was sitting at his desk writing his resignation letter.
Harry came out of the bedroom to a fully dressed Severus Snape sitting at his desk. It was such a wonderful sight to see in the morning, though he would rather wake up with him. Harry knew that Sev had more things to take care of than Harry did, luckily for elves packing doesn't take too much effort. "Morning Love" Harry walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Severus smiles up at Harry " Good morning Love," he says adding his signature to the bottom of this resignation letter and then rolls it up tying it with a string. " There that's ready now. You hungry?" He asks.
"Of course I'm hungry Love. What had you up so early? I missed you in bed" he said.
Severus frowns slightly, " I'm sorry Love. I just woke up and was thinking about today and felt restless. My lab is fully packed, and the elves are working on the rest, and now that you are up, they can do the stuff in the bedroom and bathroom. What would you like for breakfast?" He asks.
"I picked yesterday, it's your turn" Harry said laughing.
Severus chuckles, "Omelettes and potatoes it is then." He says chuckling and calling for an elf.
"That sounds really good" Harry said as he looked around seeing the bookshelves empty spaces, leaving behind traces of dust from the years. The room was stripped down to the basics, there were no personal things left out. The one thing left was their sofa. Harry loved that thing. It would always be so special and so Harry insisted they take it with them. The food came and Harry realized he was hungrier than he thought, starting to eat before making a cup of tea even.
Severus chuckles making a cup for Harry, having watched how he made it before, and slides it over to him making his own and then starting in to breakfast himself.
"Feeling ok Love?" Harry asked as he finished half an omelette finally stopping to drink some of his tea. "I have to say, I'm nervous yes, but it feels right." He said giving Severus a peck before putting another forkful into his mouth.
Severus nods, "Yes I'm nervous too, mostly because until recently I thought I might be here forever." He said. "There's something I want to do before we go, I waited in case you wanted to join me. But yes, it feels right, I'm ready to start a new life. " He says.
Harry listened as he continued to eat. "There is a much better ending for us than to be here forever." Harry said and sipped his tea. "What is it you want to do?" Harry asked.
Severus blushes softly, "I want to walk the halls of the castle one last time, give her a proper goodbye." He says softly.
Harry's eyes watered. The halls of the castle. The castle that saved him yet nearly destroyed him. All the times that he found comfort in the dark halls at night when everyone was asleep. "I'd like to join you, yes" He said wiping his eyes and finishing his food.
Severus nods relating to the emotions in Harry's eyes. He wouldn't miss teaching, he wouldn't miss most of the other teachers, but Hogwarts herself, he would miss. She had been both his prison and his haven for so long that leaving her was like losing a loved one in a way. They finish their breakfasts and Severus stands letting the elf clear the dishes away, "Well shall we then?" He asks holding out a hand.
Harry takes his hand with a solemn smile. "Yes" Harry said.
Severus nods and he leads them out his door. His first stop is his classroom. He steps inside looking at the room, the desks, the chalkboard and store cupboard. He took it all in memories of this room entering his mind, his first class, the first time he saw Harry in his class, and a multitude of explosions and mishaps and the occasional gifted student. He nods and then turns leaving the room. They continue on mostly just walking the halls the stop in the great hall and Severus even takes Harry into the teacher's lounge. Severus presses his palm against the walls a few times as they walk pouring a bit of his magic into her and bidding her a fond fair well. They silently make their way up through the castle making it to the astronomy tower. Severus looks out over the grounds and a single tear trails down his cheek as he says his final goodbye.
Harry was less of a looker. When they entered the classroom, Harry went and took the same spot he had sat in on the first day of classes, year one. He looked at the top of the table before reaching under it to trace a line in the wood that always kept Harry's hands busy when he couldn't sit still. Harry followed Severus but they didn't hold hands. Each one of them had their own goodbyes and they knew it. Harry smiled as they came around a corner that provided him escape from Filch and Severus many times. The place where Ron fell and busted his nose because he was too busy watching Hermione. Harry placed his hand outside of the door to the 3rd floor corridor and his magic was soaked up, giving her some of his magic as well. Harry left Severus outside of the Gryffindor Common room while he said goodbye to his home that proudly wore red. He lay in his bed once more, looked over to the right where Ron always slept, having to cast silencing charms because he snored so loudly. Finally, they made it to the astronomy tower. Severus and Harry stood in the opening to the largest balcony up there and they both just stared out across the grounds. He swallowed hard. "She really is very beautiful" Harry said watching as the morning sun ran across the trees of the black forest.
Severus nods, "Yes, yes she is." He looks at Harry "Ok, I'm happy now, let's go finish packing." He says.
"I've packed all of my things seeming as I don't own much" he smiled. "I'll meet you back there in half an hour?" Harry hadn't looked at Severus, he just kept looking out at the grounds.
Harry felt the kiss and smiled. He listened as Severus walked away and he let himself slump down to sit. He spoke out loud. "You have always been here for me; I know you always will be. Keep everyone safe okay?" He said tears rolling. He placed his hands on the stone wall in front of him and pushed a huge amount of his magic into the stone. "I hope this helps" he said sending another wave through the wall. He pushed once more and felt the floor under him shake a little. Sitting back, he dried his tears and took his wand out calling for his broom. He pocketed his wand and listened for the whistle of the broom coming near, slowing and Harry wrapping his hand around the perfectly smooth wood. "What do you say girl, one more ride around the castle?" He said to his broom and mounted it, taking a deep breath and kicking off into the sky.
Severus returns to his rooms memories of the castle still flooding his brain, but he believes he gave her the goodbye she deserved. He enters his rooms and starts packing up his desk drawers to be taken over to their new house. Excitement was starting to build in him as their departure drew near. He left his resignation letter on the teachers' desk in his classroom and waits for Harry to return.
Harry enjoyed flying around the entire grounds, circling the beautiful stone. He stopped next to the window he caught his first thing on a broom, Neville's Remembrall, that boy never did figure out what he was forgetting. He flew down to the courtyard with the clock tower and landed, looking up. He wiped his face and carried his broom with him to the dungeons, sweaty and red faced from the cold air. Tear streaks noticeable because of it. He was a peace. He would come fly here again; this wouldn't be goodbye forever. Especially if they had children. Harry hadn't thought of that until right before opening the door, a shocked look on his face before he shook it away and entered with his broom.
Severus looks up from the elf he is giving his final box to, and smiles "Well that's the last of it" he sees the tear tracks on Harry's face and moves to take him into his arms, "You alright love?" He asks
Harry nodded. His need to cry had been worn out at a thousand feet in the air. "I'm ok, but I realized something." He said and looked up at Severus. "We will be back, if we have children" he said almost choking up on the thought.
Severus smiles softly and takes Harry's hand kissing the knuckles, "That's very true, my Love. " He says. " Shall we then?" He asks.
"Yes, it's time Severus" Harry said. Harry gave his broom to an elf to transport. That was the last elf in the room, and the last personal item either of them had at Hogwarts. The sofa had already been taken over also.
Severus nods and they head out, walking up and out the front doors and onto the grounds heading for the gate. They cross it and Hogwarts wards and Severus stop's looking back once more, "Goodbye old girl, I'll see you again one day." He says softly and then looks at Harry with a smile " Well Harry, are you ready to start a life that's our own?" He asks taking his hand.
Harry felt a shiver leaving the wards, looking back with Severus. Harry gave a smile and turned to Severus. "I couldn't be more ready" He said
Severus nods and says, "Me neither." He takes Harry into his arms kissing him softly as they apparate away to start their new life, one that was of their choosing.
