Word Count: 100
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Severus/Lily
Prompt: #3
Warnings: DH spoilers
Disclaimer: Not mine!
Leaf and bloom pass, slipping into the changing seasons. Love passes, marble covered by storm and snow.
Severus kneels by the tree, his face upturned to catch the last sunlight. Translucent, he wavers, and the last scurry of bone-dry leaves passes through him. It is almost winter, almost the full turning of the year.
Here he crawled and breathed his last, staining grass and bark with grasping fingers. Here he used his last strength, Apparating away – coming home to his Lily.
Seasons pass, joy diminishing with distance, pain and sorrow eased with forgetfulness. In time, he'll come to her again.

The night before he left, Regulus slept in Sirius's bed. The pillows were crease-sharp and the sheets were cold against his skin.
It had been three years since Sirius had slept here. He'd left a hollow in the mattress, a comfortable depression that remembered the shape of his body.
Regulus rolled over, facing the wall. He would leave tomorrow – he would leave, as Sirius had left, striking out into the world.
There were tomorrows and tomorrows, with the threat of failure hanging heavy over them, with the hollow in this mattress and the cold sheets waiting.
Sirius would not return.

Severus waited until the door closed behind Pettigrew, leaving only dust and silence. He waited until the crawling, constricting pull of the Vow died to a hum, until it was a whisper in his veins.
Bone-weary, he drained the last of his wine and went to the cauldron, ladling the shimmering potion into his glass. It fizzled and sparkled, shot through with stardust and phoenix fire and the giddy effervescence of promised release.
He downed it in one gulp, and the Vow dissolved. Ties unbound, oaths unsworn – Severus smashed the glass, cutting his fingers on the shards. He was free.
