Written for adventdrabbles prompt #14: Shooting Star
From his tiny window in Azkaban, Severus watched the shooting star blaze across the heavens. Silently, he made a secret wish, even though he'd given up on wishes a long time ago. His childhood had jaded his vision, making it impossible for him to believe in fairytales or happily ever afters.
Severus whimpered in his sleep, shaking uncontrollably under the covers. A pair of warm arms wrapped around him, anchoring and grounding him in the present. He blinked and opened his eyes, a messy, dark head coming into view.
"Are you all right, Love?" Harry whispered in the darkness.
"Fine," Severus replied softly.
"Did you have another nightmare?" Harry asked with concern.
"Not this time, Harry. I was dreaming about a wish that I'd made upon a shooting star, and the following day you came and took me away from Azkaban. I never thought that my only wish would ever come true, but it did, thanks to you."
Harry pulled Severus close and stroked his back lovingly. He remembered that shooting star, and the wish he'd made on it as well. Harry smiled into Severus' shoulder. Sometimes wishes really did come true.
