Severus and I walked to dombledore's quarters. I still had a little bit of puffyness in my eyes from crying.

"ahh lilah and severus. Just the pair I needed." He said

"albus, lilah and I have been talking about... Lily..." Severus advised albus.

"oh I see... Well then severus since you have already gotten to know each other, im sure you two wouldnt mind sharing your quarters?" Albus replied

"I am fine with it as long as lilah is albus. lilah? Do you want to or would you prefer your own?" Severus asked smoothing his voice when talking to me.

"I would gladly shared with you, severus" I said with a small, not-convincing smile.

"very well. Severus and lilah do you have any requests on your password?" Albus asked

this time I jumped in.

"yes I would." Severus looked at me with care and surprise

"well.." Albus said waiting

"I know this is a bit personal but... I think we should make it something that both of user can... Relate to... So... Severus would..... Flower do?... Because it relates to lily as her name is a flower and noone would think of lily or even you using that?" I said the last bit with a little giggle. I wasnt sure what he would say...

"perfect. It would suit us well and yes noone would think we put that." He said

We turned back to a really smiley albus.

"albus we have chosen 'flower' as our password" I said

"good ill see you at the great hall. Severus, show lilah to your quarters." Albus said

"very well albus" severus said

As we walked to our quarters, severus had put his arms around my back and put his hand on my waist. I smiled at him and he sarted to speek first:

"see your just as intelligent as her I obviously wouldnt be able to think of that." He said

"thank you" I said back

We had just reached his quarters it was a picture of salazar slytherin.

"flower" I said and the portrait opened. I walked in and he lightened up the lights.

I looked around even though it was completely black it was homely and made me smile. I had felt like this ever since she's died and maybe black was my colour.

"I see you like it, your the only one who has smiled at this room" he said

"well it seems homely and makes me feel like... I dont know this is crazy but .... It makes me feel like I can express what I feel." I said with a smile.

"its not crazy or then id be crazy but this is how I express how I feel" he said

I gave him a hug

"thank you for understanding me" I said as he finally relaxed and huged me back.

"its ok Lilah. Plus its hard to say no to someone as beautiful as you" he said making me blush

"see you dont make-up to be beautiful, you dont need magic to be talented and you definitely dont need every book in the world to be smart" he said

"your the first one who has made me smile since she died." I said

"well im glad to" he replied and gave me a lights kiss on my forehead making me smile more.
