I need you. |severus snape|

20: Amare

It was now the end of the term, the school would be going home...and so would Ingrid.

She looked forward to the next year, and felt happy to actually have people to write to.

She would be working at her usual shop during the summer. She didn't like it as much as working at the world famed hogwarts, but it paid her bills.

She hoped to get down to say goodbye to Maxime and...even Igor. She'd miss having the variety of people in the next year, especially because of the threat of Voldemort.

She closed her trunk and walked out into the classroom, wishing her classroom one last goodbye for the summer. She smiled at her chalkboard, erasing the last lesson placed onto it.

"Knock knock."
A familiar velvety voice called from the doorframe, Ingrid turned around.

Severus stood there, smiling at her. She smiled in return and placed her chalk down, fixing her wrinkled summer dress.

"Hello...I was just preparing to go downstairs."
She smiled, fixing the last thing on her desk. Making it orderly for when she returned,  Severus stepped inside. Examining all of her Muggle artifacts.

"A whole summer. It is always odd leaving..."
He observed, tracing the outline to a beautiful old Muggle mirror.

"I suppose so. Or perhaps I've forgotten."
She turned to face him, he smirked and walked towards her.

To her surprise, he wrapped her in a loving embrace. She inhaled, the smell of mint filling her senses..

"I despise admitting this...but I am going to miss you."

"You can always come to the shop. I suppose it's a little lonely now.."
She told him, wrapping her arms around him.

"I certainly will. If you ever have any issues..or anything-anything at all, that you would like to speak about..here's where to reach me."
He handed her a small slip of paper, with an address and post number inscribed onto it.

She smiled and nodded, tucking it into her pocket. She then made her way towards her desk, grabbed her trunk and prepared to exit the room.

"I suppose this is goodbye then."
She smiled, facing the open door.

"Ingrid....wait a moment...."
He told her, she placed her trunk on the ground.

Turning slowly around..she looked deep into his eyes again. Attempting to read his emotions, but she couldn't...this emotion was different.

She could barely think...or move.

When his lips had been pressed against hers.

She took a breath in through her nose, she had waited for this moment...thought about it..... And here it was, actually happening.

She placed her hands on his shoulders, just enjoying the time while it lasted. Expecting him to pull away or scream at her at any second, but he didn't.

She pressed away from him, a small grin crossed her face.

"We are going to be late."
He mumbled, eyes meeting hers.

"This is true. I wouldn't want to miss saying goodbye to Igor..."
She smirked, before their lips locked again.

This time. It was real.
