Whispers

~

Severus sensed the whispers, even if they weren’t loud enough to be heard. And he saw how people stared.

Annoyed, he scowled back.

“What’s wrong?” Harry asked, sliding his hand into the crook of Severus’ arm.

“Can’t you tell?” Severus huffed. “I’m universally hated. By rights you should avoid being seen with me.”

“Are you mad?” Harry leaned in. “I love being seen with you. And you’ve got it backwards. I bet they’re just jealous that I have you.”

Glancing around, Severus noted that some of the looks were covetous. Probably of him having Harry. He smirked. “If you insist.”

Exactly, Severus.

One of these days he'll get it. ;)
Thanks!

I'm glad Harry pointed that out, because it has to be true.

*nods*
It does, I agree. :)
Thanks!

It doesn't matter what the others say: Severus must be used to whispering and staring for a long time, just as Harry. As long as they (mostly Severus) trust that the other doesn't mind, all will be well.

Exactly right. :)
Thanks, hon!
