Challenge #373: "Snape's Kiss" How is it possible that snape100 has been running for over seven years and Severus Snape still hasn't been offered a kiss? This week's challenge corrects that oversight and asks you to write a drabble in which Snape gets a kiss. Gen fans may feel free to have Eileen or Tobias kiss him, and evil people coming here from ihatesnape100 (which...doesn't exist) are at liberty to introduce a Dementor into the proceedings, but one way or another, Snape must get kissed!

Word Count: 200
Warnings: None

Severus was at Hogwarts when the prisoners were liberated. He had neither broken nor named names like Karkaroff. But he had allowed himself to be saved. Though his acts had never been less than the others', he had been free.

He wanted to be at the Manor, which had still been his adoptive home when they had been taken. He wanted to see them. But he had a tricky job to do and subterfuge to maintain.

And he was afraid his guilt would utterly consume him like a fire.

Eventually he was finally able to leave his post. He dressed carefully, though not ostentatiously. He wanted to be... gentle. And humble before those who had endured what he should have shared.

He had left Rabastan drained and shrunken on the cold stone bench of a hard icy cell. Rabastan had always been a reassuring bulwark against whatever ills had befallen Severus' boyhood. How could he look into his eyes without shame?

But Antonin met him first, carrying an unruly owl. "Our young comrade." Taking Severus' hand, he turned it and kissed it delicately. "With odeur d'aconit."

It would be all right. He could help them now. And here came Rabastan.
