Challenge: 13: Marking the Moment
Harry and Severus stood in front of Hogwarts. Harry grabbed Severus' hand tightly, and they turned to survey the damage wrought by the Final Battle, but even the sight of the dead couldn't dampen their happiness. Severus carefully put his arms around Harry and Harry's fingers traced lazy patterns over Severus' forearm -- his bare, blank forearm. Snape leaned down and quickly kissed Harry on the lips, because with the death of Voldemort they could kiss now without fear, and he could give all of himself without rejection. The Dark Mark had disappeared, and Harry stroked Severus's arm in celebration.
