Fortune...
What a wonderful thing to have, fortune, and what a dreadful thing to miss. Severus thought he had been fortunate, in spite of the many events, the many decisions - some good, others stupendously bad - in his life.
He was alive. That wasn't quite a stroke of luck, but Mother Fortuna had most likely pulled a few strings in his favour a couple of times. At least to make up for the times he had spat in the face of Destiny.
He was loved, without a shadow of a doubt. Perhaps only by one single person in the world, but that love was more than enough to last him a lifetime and beyond. He was fortunate to have found and faced that love and even more fortunate to be able to return it, as freely and unconditionally as was possible for him.
He still had all his intelligence, his knowledge and even his secrets.
Yes, he was fortunate.
