Soft Side

~

Snarling internally, Severus returned to Hogwarts. Robes snapping, he passed Minerva.

“How was the governors’ meeting?”

“Execrable,” he growled, not stopping. Bloody Lucius.

Minerva sighed. “Fill me in tomorrow!” she called after him.

“Quite.”

Severus pondered Lucius’ taunts. Have I gone soft in my dotage? Is Harry just toying with me?

Entering his quarters, Severus’ ire drained the moment he spotted Harry napping on the sofa.

Waking, Harry sat up, smiling in welcome. “How was the meeting?”

Crossing the room, Severus sat, kissing him. “Oh, you know,” he said lightly. “Unimportant.” There are worse things than being soft.
