21-The End.

                                    

                                          
Over the remaining few months of the school year the two of them grew closer. And when they had the chance to go on dates they did. When the school year ended, they moved back to Spinner's End. Mae had a few weeks off of School, and in those few weeks Severus gave her permission to change a few things in their house. To make it more Homely for the both of them. Now with 1 day before Mae goes back to culinary school, A new development takes place.
"Dinner was delicious" Severus said Taking the empty dinner plates to the sink. 
"Thank you. It was a recipe my mom taught me." I smiled as he took my plate. At this point in time, we had come to an unofficial arrangement. I cooked dinner, and he cleaned up the dishes. I tried to help him clean up, but he always told me no. always said I had done the work to cook, so he can do the work to clean. It was quite sweet. So, while he cleaned, I made us drinks of some kind. Whether it was coffee, Hot cocoa, or alcohol of some kind. We always ended the night with a drink in hand and a book in lap.
After a long night of reading and conversing. I found I was slowly falling asleep on his lap. I had originally leaned against him when he sat down. I rested my had on his shoulder and read my book, until he took the book from me and started reading it out loud. 
I didn't even notice I was falling asleep until he was gently brushing hair out of my face waking me up. "You fell asleep dear. Perhaps you should go to bed." he placed a soft kiss on my forehead as I sat up.
"If I'm going to bed You should go to bed." I said sleepily. I felt him take a deep breath in.
"Only if it's in my bed." This made me wake up. I looked at him with almost clear eyes. We may have been growing closer, getting more comfortable with hand holding, and the occasional Kissing. But sleeping in the same bed was new.
"Okay." I said leaning against him again as he picked me up and carried me bridal style. To his bed. Nothing happened. We simply laid against each other in our pajamas slowly letting sleep claim us.
I was close. My breathing was slow and deep. My eyelids are heavy and my body limp. And the room was quiet. My hearing was silenced. And I didn't hear a thing until I felt him take a deep breath in. He petted my hair softly before he started speaking quietly, so quietly I had to strain to hear him speak. "I think, I think perhaps. I might... I love you." why was he saying this now? Does he think I'm asleep? "No... I know I love you. I love you, Mae." he whispered. I tried to fight to stay awake to hear more but unless I wanted him to know I was awake and listening, which I didn't. I couldn't fight it, and I don't even know when I fell asleep.
Over the course of the summer, they continued to sleep in the same bed. Growing closer. And closer until
"I love you." I mumbled yet it was clear to both of us that I had said. He put down his book that he was reading out loud. He looked at me.
"What?" he asked quietly. It was the kind of What that wasn't a real Can you repeat that. But a I heard what you said. I need a moment to process.
"I love you." I repeated this time slightly louder. I sat up to look at him more clearly. 
He looked at me for a moment before he grabbed my face and kissed me. It was deep and passionate. "I love you too." he said during a pause. We both smiled.
We muttered at the same time "I love you." our Kisses got deeper, and I moved onto his lap. I felt his hardness grow under me as I moved back and forth. He picked me up and we went to our shared bedroom.
When Mae graduated from culinary school, she started looking for work. Then one day she got the great news that Severus convinced Dumbledor to create a culinary subject and Higher Mae as the teacher. 
"My first day as a teacher. Sev I'm nervous."
"You'll do Great Love! They'll Love you, almost as much as I do." Severus said, planting a kiss on my forehead. "You look great. They'll love learning to cook."
"Thank you." I smiled and looked at him with loving eyes. We left each other with a final kiss before heading to our classrooms. 
Mae was a beloved teacher of the students. They loved learning how to cook, and bake. It wasn't Common knowledge that Professor Song, and Professor Snape were married. And whenever a student did find out it heavily confused them how one of the favorite teachers was married with one of the meanest teachers. Regardless, Mae Song and Severus Snape Loved each other. And they Lived Happily. 
A/N note.
This is the end. I'm sorry. I hope you've enjoyed what there is. I wanted to do more but unfortunately; I've lost all the motivation I had for this story. Thankfully though I managed to get to where I wanted to end it anyway. With Mae as a culinary professor at Hogwarts. I hope you enjoyed the story regardless. I will be working on a new story soon.
