Prompt: 081: Harry and Snape meet in a dirty alley and things ensue.
Summary: Harry can’t seem to fill the void after Ginny leaves, and as it becomes harder and harder to return to his empty house, the loneliness inside of him grows. When he starts avoiding even his best friends as his coping methods worsen, a familiar dungeon bat steps in to resume his old role as Harry’s protector. Harry Potter has always been a thorn in Severus Snape’s side, and old habits do indeed die hard.
A/N: This was my very first thon, so I’m super nervous about the outcome. I’m still so excited, and I very much hope that you all enjoy what I came up with for the generously open-ended prompt I selected. I’d like to thank the mods for being so kind and understanding when I was just a smidge late turning this in and just being awesome in general! You guys make this all possible, and I’m grateful to our hosts and all the wonderful fanwork creators who’ve come before me! Also, I have to thank my beta, hippocrates460, for her patience with the chaos of my shifting POVs before she set me straight. She’s one of my favorite people, and if you haven’t already, you should go read her stuff. Any lingering errors are my fault entirely.
