A drabble - Albus and Severus, although even I am not sure which way round they are. A play on words.

"Do not make me do this."

"I have no choice."

"Do not force me to carry on without you — we cannot hope to win this war without you."

"It has to be done."

"Please. Would you like me to beg you?"

"No. Do not lower yourself to such a level — I would never ask it of you."

"And yet you would ask this of me?"

"Yes, because you are the only one."

"What about me? You will be leaving me alone."

"Never alone."

"I thought, perhaps, you cared for me."

"I do. I will be here."

"How?"

"All ways. Always."
