What I love about you:
10. You don't pull your punches.
9. You still care about the house-elf and Muggle-born rights, but you've taken a more subtle approach to accomplishing your agenda.
8. When you hold me down and kiss me so hard, you take my breath away.
7. I love the way you smell direct from the shower, clean and free of man-made scent. I also love the earthy musk of you after a long day.
6. I glory when I wake in the dark of the night to find your hands and your lips on my body. Before I've gained the power of speech you have deprived me of the ability, and soon I am asleep again with your bare body twined about me. In the mornings, I am never sure whether it was all a dream, until you give me The Look before delivering a morning kiss ... with the taste of me lingering still upon your lips.
5. When you nibble your lower lip as you puzzle over a problem – a habit you have had, all the years I have known you – your unconscious efforts leave half your mouth looking as it does after I have thoroughly kissed you. The sight of it makes me want to pull you into my arms and finish the job properly.
4. You stop my world when you seek me out and entice me to our bed. I will never, ever take your desire for me for granted ... it is a gift I never thought to possess.
3. My favourite sound in the world is the little sigh you make, when I put my arms around you.
2. On our wedding day, I thought I’d never seen a sight more beautiful than you … until the sun shone into our bedroom the next morning. Your hair was like a pool of honey upon your pillow, and your eyes and skin glowed with a golden light, as if you were lit up from within. I have never stopped seeing you that way since.
1. You're one of the few people I trust at my back when the hexes are flying, and the only person in whose presence I can let myself fall asleep.
This parchment will self-destruct, two minutes after you open it.
Severus

Number 8 is from Hermione's favorite song, Possession, by Sarah MacLachlan.
