"Severus, come with me!"

He frowned, seeing you standing in front of him, smiling broadly and he could see your excitement sparkling in your eyes. He shut his book and put it aside, standing up from his chair as you held his hand, dragging him to see something that you were proud of.

"I can't wait to show you."

You mumbled under your breath, but loud enough for him to hear you, and a small smile appeared on his face, knowing that you had been anticipating to show him your new painting for quite some time. Severus would always be the first person to admire your work, as his opinion mattered the most to you, and he always felt appreciated and loved whenever you would prioritise him over anything else.

He was expecting to see another majestic work of yours, but when his eyes landed on the canvas, he was flabbergasted, his heart fluttered and suddenly he lost his words. His grip on your hand loosened, as everything dawned upon him, that you were in love with him, and you were too perfect for him.

"Do you like it?"

You asked, nerves wrecked your soul as Severus stared at his portrait. It took you a lot of time pondering if you should paint him, and you wanted to do it for so long, you were glad you finally did. You loved him, and you wanted to portray him in your painting, showing him how passionate you were in this relationship.

Severus opened his mouth to say something, but then no words could be utter from his mouth as his eyes scanned over his portrait, which was mesmerising, and he could not believe how did you manage to make him look so alluring and charming when he always saw himself as nothing of sort.

"Severus?"

He finally tore his gaze away from the portrait, gazing down at you as you craned your neck to look him in the eyes. Severus could feel the rapid beating of his heart, the blood rushing through his veins towards his face, and he knew there was no words that could describe how amazing it felt to be loved by such a beautiful woman, who filled his life with magic of love.

Magic was a huge part of Severus Snape's life, and he dared to say his world evolved around it, trapping him in a thought that if he was not a wizard, he was not worthy of anything else. Severus was a powerful wizard and everyone knew it, having magic in his blood was a gift, and he would be doomed without it.

But when he fell in love with you, who was not blessed with magic in your blood, he just realised that his life was used to be empty, even with the wonders of magic in the Wizarding World. Your smile enchanted him, and you made your way into his heart, turning the hollow void in his broken heart as your home, and you filled his life with magic, even when you were no witch, but you has bewitched him and Severus loved every second of his life with you.

He loved everything you did, you were the apple of his eyes, the precious gem that he held dear to his heart and he was never letting you go, not when he was so in love with you that you were becoming his whole world.

Now he could not care less about his gift of magic, when he had you loving him.

"I love it."

He whispered, wrapping his strong arms around your waist to pull you closer, and you caressed his face gently, smiling at him.

"You're everything to me."

You said, and those words never failed to send his heart fluttering, and he claimed your lips with his, pouring his love and affection towards you in the kiss, promising himself that he was going to make you happy in every minute of your life, never wanted to see a tear shed because of him.

You were always fascinated with the idea of magic, and Severus loved to show it to you, astonishing you with a few spells that could bring a smile upon your face. But at the end of the day, you would always remind him, that even without him being a great wizard, you would still be standing by him, willing to love him through everything.

Severus knew your words were genuine, as you fell in love with him before he revealed to you that he was a wizard. Sometimes he wondered how could someone so perfect could be in love with him. He did not even need to have magic to make you fall for him.

When he first met you, he was just a boring guy who forgot to bring his umbrella when he was out to find some food. Severus could just use his magic to go home when he saw it was raining, but his thoughts vanished when you came to him, putting your umbrella over his head and yours, and offering him a smile when he just stared at you, dumbfounded to see a gorgeous woman helping him.

He was not the nicest man to you that day, as he was shocked to see someone willing to lend him a hand, but your kind soul stole his heart, and he would die if he could not ever see you again.

It had been so long since Severus felt his heart beating insanely in his ribcage, and a kaleidoscope of feelings washed over him, making him feel warm and fuzzy inside, and Severus knew you were the one.

He was glad that he took the chance to ask for your number that day, or else he would not be so in love right now, so content and grateful for the life he was living in after years of sorrow.

"I'm so sorry, love."

You apologised, tears glistened in your eyes as you looked at him. Severus rolled his eyes, a smirk was dancing on his lips and he pecked your lips softly, showing you that he was not mad at you.

"You should be sorry. You almost burned our kitchen down."

He retorted, a smug smile was on his face as you rolled your eyes at him.

"I almost burned our kitchen down, but I didn't."

You argued, scrunching your nose as he pinched your cheek, loving to see how annoyed you were, even when you were the one who was making a mess in the kitchen when you tried to cook dinner.

"That is because I was quick enough to act, Y/N."

Severus just smiled as you mumbled about how you were trying to cook, even when you could not, and he knew he had to pull you in for a kiss to shut your mouth, and he did, letting you melt into his arms as your lips moved with his in a sync, the whole world seemed to disappear as both of you held each other and Severus did not mind it.

He loved you, he loved everything about you, and he could not say it enough. He was not used to be vocal about his affection, but he changed his way, desiring you to know that he was in love, and he adored the gleam in your eyes every time his sweet words got into you.

It was exhilarating to be in love with you.

"This is hideous, love."

He blurted out, upon seeing the sweater that you knitted for him. Severus knew you too well now, you were a person who tried something new almost every day when you were not at work. You were up to having something to do every time you came back from work and over the weekend, sometimes it turned into a hobby and the other times you just failed and gave up.

But it seemed like you succeeded to knit a sweater, but Severus was being honest when he thought it was not a pretty sweater.

"It is not! You shouldn't insult my piece of work like that, love."

You said defensively, but Severus caught a smirk on your face, and he knew you were doing it on purpose to annoy him. He pressed his lips into a thin line and shook his head.

"You really want me to wear this sweater, don't you?"

He cocked his eyebrow, realising that the sweater was not ugly for no reason. You crossed your arms against your chest and nodded, a mischievous grin was painted on your face.

"Please put it on. I know it's not pretty, but it will look good on you. I mean, I prefer you with no clothes at all but we'll save that for later."

You chuckled, amused to see him glaring at you but slowly putting the sweater on, sighing as he finally did.

"I better get the no clothes part soon after I put this hideous sweater on."

He grumbled, and you burst into a fit of laughter, walking to give him a hug. You let out a hum of delight, burying your face into his chest, as he instinctively wrapped his arms around you. Severus rested his chin on your head, staying that way for awhile as his heart was full, holding the love of his life in his heart, the person who has brought magic to life by loving him.

"This is nice."

Your voice was muffled as you hid your face in his chest, loving the fact that he was wearing the sweater. Severus nodded, but a smirk found its way on his face and he put his finger under your chin, making you look up at him.

"This is nice but I think you said you prefer me with no clothes at all, so shall we get to it now?"

You laughed at his words, and Severus smiled, as there would not be a day when he was not happy with you. His life would be filled with magic, as long as you were there with him, loving him unconditionally.

With you, he was neither a former Death Eater nor he was the grumpy Potions Master— He was just Severus Snape to you. Your Severus Snape, the man you loved.
