Harry sighed, uncomfortably aware of how out of place Severus looked in the glittering ballroom. His austere robes stood out like a sore thumb, creating an island of elegant formality amid richly embroidered frivolity.
“I shouldn't have brought you here. I hate how they look at you.”

“Let them look.”

“You're a decorated hero, Hogwarts' headmaster and a world-renowned potioneer. Nobody has the right to think themselves above you.”

“Harry...”

“I'd put you on a pedestal, if I could.”

“Your respect is pedestal enough.”

Harry laughed, despite himself.
“What about my love, then?”

“That's the cherry on the top, sweetheart.”
