Summary: Prior to leaving Hogwarts for Christmas break, Albus Severus Potter rediscovers a secret of the Room of Requirement. What he doesn't expect, however, is that the secret will forever change the holiday for himself – and his father. Pre-slash.
Author's Notes: Some small details from canon were changed to suit this story. If you don’t notice them, pretend I didn’t say anything.

Cheers to my awesome beta, who helped me immeasurably (more than she knows, I’m sure) – especially when my little 5,000 word story decided to whizz past 20,000 (*ahem*). Also, a warm shout-out to my cheering squad (you all know who you are). Your support means a lot to me.

A special thanks goes to the Snarry Holidays mods: bewarethesmirk for her cheerful patience and chiralove for her grammar queen-ness. My hat is off to them both for their amazing work in making this fest a success!

Media/Medium: Ballpoint pen on paper
Rating: PG
Pairing: Snarry
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property

Summary: Harry certainly didn't enjoy spending the last part of
his sixth year in detention after the Sectumsempra incident, copying
out his father's past misdeeds. Imagine having to watch over him for
hours on end, from only a few feet away, knowing what happened, what
will never be, and what's coming... Any day now.
Artist's Notes: You asked for gen, with angsty Harry and
protective Snape at Hogwarts. I hope this fits the bill! All furniture
and the knicknacks on Snape's desk, including the lopsided oil lamp
with modern lampshade on, were inspired by Snape's office as it
appeared in the CoS movie.

Summary: For once, Severus realized he was content.
Artist's Notes: Merry Snarry Holidays, Midnight_Birth. I enjoyed making this for you! For a while,I puzzled over how work in the Giant Squid.

Artist's Notes: My prompts were: 1. One fine morning. One fine really early early morning, damnit. 2. Aftermath. 3. In from the cold. I think I've meet them all and I hope that Venivincere is happy with her gift even though it doesn't have any of her kinks. Also, I'm sorry for the horrible color quality, Gif's color restrictions really suck but there really isn't anything I can do about it. Hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful holiday!

The image is animated, so the artist asks viewers to be patient and keep watching for a few seconds more to get the full effect.
