It's About Time

"Basically sir, we're here to apologize for our past behavior."

Severus raised an eyebrow at Harry's statement.

"We honestly thought you were… well, evil…" Ron added.

"But we never said sorry. So…"

"Sorry."

They cleared their throats.

"Very well." Severus dismissed them.

….

"You set them up, didn't you?"

"Set who up?" Hermione asked innocently.

"Weasley and Potter. Do you honestly think their apology would make everything better?"

"Of course not, only some things. Anyway, they could have apologized themselves."

"Not a chance. You asked them."

"I didn't."

"You did."

"No, I-"

"Oh shut up." Severus silenced her with a kiss.
