Title: What-Ifs Fandom: Harry Potter Pairing: Harry/Severus Rating: general Note: Drabble written for angela_snape for holiday 2007.
Had Harry not been the son of Lily Evans and James Potter, Snape told himself, he wouldn't have minded so much that the boy was Dumbledore's champion. Of course, if he had been someone else, Snape might not have changed allegiances. Nevertheless he mused at night sometimes, when Harry snored softly beside him in their bed, thinking how much less complicated it could have been between them. As it was, their relationship was founded in resentment and need almost as much as in any more positive emotions. Perhaps that was all either of them wanted or deserved, in the end.
