Fostering Family Unity

~

As they walked up the path to Severus’ aunt’s cottage, Severus hummed. “For your information, we’ve a bit of a family feud brewing currently.”

Harry, fingers linked with Severus’, frowned. “Family feud?”

“Yes. This side of my family is very...non-traditional. They were trilled to hear about our...association.”

Harry smiled. “Okay, so what’s the problem?”

“Well, in an attempt to foster family unity, my aunt also invited some members from the traditional Prince side of the family to today’s gathering.”

“And they don’t approve of us?”

“I suspect not.”

Harry squared his shoulders. “Right. Well, into battle we go.”

“Well, that wasn’t so bad,” said Harry as they exited the cottage.

“Indeed,” agreed Severus. “It was surprisingly conflict free.”

“Maybe everyone’s matured.” Harry smiled. “Maybe the family feud ended because they realised it’s foolish to fight with the people you love.”

“Perhaps.” Severus smirked. Or perhaps it was because I took everyone aside and reminded them that you obliterated Voldemort and could do the same to them should they cross you. He hummed.

“So when do I get to meet the Snapes?”

Severus licked his lips, anticipating how satisfying that intimidation would be. “I thought perhaps next month?”

“Brilliant.”

'Severus licked his lips, anticipating how satisfying that intimidation would be.' Your plan is absolutely brilliant, Sev. *dies laughing*

I think Harry would be mortified if he'd known what was happening in the background. Happily, I suspect Severus will never let him in on it. ;)
Thank you, my dear! I'm always pleased when I can give you a smile.

*snerk* yep, that's the kind of family reunion my family has, too! *giggling more*

[alisanne]

Thanks, hon!

Still clearing out from the flood and being quiet due to sheer exhaustion. Love this too much not to comment. I adore Snape here and his version of getting along.

[alisanne]

Awww! *hugs* I hope the flood is under control soon.
Thank you for the sweet comments! Severus is rather set in his ways, bless him. Never do something in a straightforward way when you can do it sneakily, right?

Awww, it was sooo sweet;-) What won´t Severus do to make his Harry happy and content, hmm;-) And his ego grow... Thank you very much!

[alisanne]

Thanks, hon!
Yes, Severus is pretty devoted to his Harry.
And I suspect that if Harry knew what Severus was doing he'd still support him.
