JOIN ME IN DEATH

Epilogue

Deep in the dungeon of the Slytherin floor at Hogwarts, Severus Snape suddenly awoke from a deep dreamless sleep with the sound of joyous laughter of two boys echoing in his head. He frowned a little and listened and upon hearing nothing, he burrowed back into the covers and tried to go back to sleep. He was hearing things � and seeing things too. Ever since Harry�s and Draco�s deaths he had never quite been the same. He had taken a vacation immediately after the joint funeral that was held for the two students and had started the next semester with little enthusiasm and much pain and bitterness.

He heard a laugh again and he sat up and grabbed his wand. �Lumos!�

The entire room lit up like a Christmas tree, but he could see nothing out of the ordinary. He grunted and shook his head and undid the light charm. He was about to use the Silencio spell when he thought he heard Draco�s voice next to him.

�Professor Snape?�

�Who�s there? Show yourself!� Severus Snape wasn�t a man who knew fear intimately, but if there was one thing he feared, he feared having a crippled mind and right now, he was seriously questioning the soundness of his mental facilities.

�It�s us.� The opaque images of Draco and Harry materialized before the professor�s astonished eyes.

�We came to see you.� Harry didn�t know whether his presence would be appreciated or not.

Professor Snape�s mouth opened, but no words came out.

�We�re here to say� thank you.� Harry pressed on.

�For everything.� Draco added.

Amazingly, Severus found his voice.

�It wasn�t enough,� Snape mumbled numbly. �Even my best wasn�t enough.�

�It wasn�t meant for to pto prevent or stop. I chose to do what I did out of my own free will � out of love.� Harry stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed.

�I could have stopped --�

�And I would have gone anyway. I would have found a � Dr� Draco sat down on the other side of the professor.

�The prophecy was supposed to be and either or situation.� The professor�s eyes hardened bitterly and he laughed.

�I killed Voldemort when I saved Draco.� Harry whispered quietly. �I killed him with the one weapon Draco gave me, love.�

�I�m sorry you had to suffer so much, Professor.� Draco�s hand rested gently on the professor�s shoulder, which was amazingly well-muscled for someone who looked so thin.

�For us both.� Harry choked out.

It hadn�t been until after his death that he learned that Snape hadn�t hated him after all and that Snape�s affections towards him were like that of a strict and demanding father who couldn�t afford to show his affection. The two boys leaned over and wrapped their former Potions professor in a hug and Severus� eyes watered and he let the tears fall as he let the warmth envelope him. After a few moments, the tears stopped and the old Snape that they both knew resurfaced.

�You two boys should know better than to disturb a man when he�s sleeping.� He glowered and his lips quirked in restrained affection.

�We�ll remember to choose a more optimal time next time.� Harry laughed and stood up.

�You�ll� visit?�

�If you�d like us to.� Draco nodded and stood up also, walking over to his lover and twining his fingers through his.

�I�d� very much� like that.� The professor�s eyes brightened slightly at the idea.

Perhaps not all is lost� When one door closes, another somehow opens.

�Then we�ll let you get back to your rest,� Harry smiled.

Professor Snape nodded and laid back into the welcoming warmth of his bed and pulled the coverlet up to his chest.

�Sleep well, Professor,� Draco couldn�t resist one last hug before he left something on the nightstand and faded out with Harry.

After they disappeared, Severus wondered whether or not the apparitions were a figment of his imagination, but when he saw the words �Thank you� scrawled in Draco�s handwriting on a piece of paper on his nightstand, he knew that his two students had come back to visit him.

It stirred something in his jaded heart and for once in a long long while, he smiled. If he had ever questioned their relationship, he now knew without a doubt that he could never blame Draco for killing himself nor blame Harry for sacrificing himself for Draco. He had seen many things in his life, but this was something he had never seen before � a love that transgressed all things, even death. And now, there was nothing left he could do besides the one thing he had felt guilty for not doing for the last two years when he had first suspected their relationship.

If he couldn�t bless them in their life, then he would bless them in their death.
