Summary: When Harry isn´t sure, he has to ask...

ooOoo

He was nervous, as nervous as he’d ever been in his short but full life. But he had to know. He had to understand how to redirect his life, to decide the next step to an unknown future. Alone or not...

So he stood there, in the familiar and comfortable chambres of Severus Snape, desperately looking at the man in question and trying not to fall apart.

The wizard in black robes raised an eyebrow, his expression puzzled, his hands clasped behind his back. “Harry? What happened? Is something wrong?”

You must, you must know it, Harry, the inner voice was urging, so Harry finally took a deep breath and blurted: “Ijustwanttoknowifyoucouldlovemeoneday!”

“Excuse me?” Severus´ face looked even more confused. “I didn´t catch that. Could you repeat it slowly?”

Harry swallowed, his eyes turned away from Severus´ face, his black mop tilted. “I just wanted to know if you could love me one day...”

Severus said nothing for a long time, he didn´t need to. He just took Harry in his strong arms and hugged him tightly. And then it was there, the feeling when their chests touched, pressing so close and heart to heart.

Harry finally felt... the hope for love.
