"I love you and trust you," Severus answers without hesitation.
He reaches up and cups Remus' face, eyes intent.
"With my life." Which in truth he has done since Albus' death.
"Unconditionally." And there is the change, inside him. The profound shift he's tried to define. A very unsettling realisation, but somehow also comforting. That he's able to feel like that.
There's hope for you yet, Severus. Albus' cheerful voice sounds in Severus' head and his lips curl faintly in amusement. How typical of the old man, to enter his thoughts now.
