An anniversary party for Molly and Arthur throws Severus and Harry together and Severus helps Harry to find the right path.
A/N: I deviated a little from the prompt but I hope it’s close enough to satisfy. I hope you enjoy the story, mystery prompter – thank you for the wonderful prompt which I had a lot of fun with. Wishing you a very happy holidays. Thank you to the ever wonderful [info]torino10154 for being a wonderfully patient mod and a super friend. I hope you enjoy this too, lovely. The quote in the summary is from Doctor Who but there’s no crossover/time travel aspect to the fic. It’s just a fitting quote.

Secret Snarry Swap: FIC: To Temper His Magic Light  
Title: To Temper His Magic Light
Author: [info]starduchess
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: light R
Word count: ~14,700
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for warnings) *mild sex scene, creature inheritance*
Prompt: #32 When he turns 20, something weird starts happening to Harry. He sees things that were not there before - very colorful and detailed things, with... moving, breathing, living creatures? What? And why is he suddenly so cute and mischievous? And more importantly, why is Snape acting so weird around him all of a sudden?
Summary: When Harry begins dancing and giving off magic by the light of the full moon, he’s not sure what turn his life has in store for him now. But when he reconnects with Snape, he’s positive this is the right course of action.
A/N: Well, I veered off the prompt a bit. There are no extra living creatures, but Harry’s eyesight does become affected. He doesn’t transform in any way (sorry to those who wanted wings or a furry mammal, but I just couldn’t go that far), but I hope you enjoy this take. I based his identity on the folk tales of the Salisbury Hare and his connection to the goddess Ceridwen from pagan Anglo-Saxon mythology.
Much love to my ever-so-sweet beta, [info]isisanubis for her speedy, grammatical checking and the mods for their extreme patience and understanding and keeping the Snarry love alive. Happy Yule, everyone. :)
