Daring To Soar.

read on rue16



Severus surveys the empty room, grieving the life he's abandoning:  years of spying.  Teaching.  Albus' portrait...  Why does his need to leave feel like a betrayal?

The war is finally over and he's ready to embrace a better, brighter future despite his heart's anxious reminders that he's never risked it successfully.  That his past dreams of love have been foolish.  Reckless.  Dangerous.

“You could always stay.  We could make it work, Severus.  I know how safe you feel at Hogwarts.”  Harry whispers, kissing his shoulder gently.

“No.  I want to stop seeking safety, Harry.  It's time I dare to... soar.”

You hit this one right on the head, you know? I was trying to portray Severus' fear about abandoning his painful, but comforting past in order to seek a better life beside Harry. Even though he's already decided that the risk is worth it, it will still be such a huge step for him...

I'm thrilled that you found this drabble so lovely. Thanks, as always, for your gorgeous comment. :)
