"Love blows with the wind"
Severus had always understood that Lavender was like an unfettered wind, yearning for freedom.
And he was lucky enough to hold those hands, and from then on the wind always lingered around him, never leaving.
Love is never a cage or imprisonment. Love is a two-way choice and trust, and a two-way rush regardless of the cost.
Intention: redemption and companionship, trust and honesty
