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.”

Thank you, my dear! I'm always pleased when I can give you a smile.

And I suspect that if Harry knew what Severus was doing he'd still support him.
