He pulled me close and put his arms awkwardly around me. "Sev," I said warningly. I pressed my hand flat against his chest to push him away and felt his heart running hummingbird fast, 180 beats a minute at least. Laughing, I looked up into his face. "You're terrified," I told him.
He could not deny it. "Well. Well, I'm not a Gryffindor, am I?"
"No," I said, agreeing and disagreeing at once. Aaaah! I've never been this close to him. Touching him...
"Yes," he insisted. "I know you feel as I do. Just try me. Come on. Try me."

I love the emotion in this. The hunger, the desire. I can feel it! The artwork itself is stunning as well. The hair looks so soft, the skin, the texture of the clothing. Very well done.
You know what's funny? I looked at this pic the day before the last HP book came out...and...it's hilarious how you posted this before that so accuratly!
Wow...this is a truly inspiring and amazing piece. Your style is magnificent and I love how you actually made Severus like the book described him...this is gorgeous! *tears in eyes*
