“Remus, I love you. I always have and always will. I’m yours, forever. Always. But after I kill Dumbledore, it won’t be safe - we will have to remove our memories. A one-word spell will compel us to restore the lost memories, afterwards. And then we can be together, forever.”

“Severus… there are no words…”

“No words except I love you.”

Finally, the cemetery-keeper clumsily stood, arthritic knees creaking, and said, “I’ll be back soon, love.”
