Severus stood on the Astronomy Tower and watched as Flitwick and McGonagall fired off round after dazzling round of fireworks to the delight of their colleagues, eager to usher in a new year and put the last one behind them. Bright gold stars, radiant red streaks, and glittering green streamers lit up the sky over and over again.
Each new burst of brilliance was followed by an exclamation from someone in the avidly watching crowd. Yet despite having his face tilted up toward the show, none of it really registered with Severus. His thoughts were miles away in a tiny little English backwater far from the highlands of Scotland.
Though he stood still as a statue, his fingers kept slipping, unbidden into his pocket and restlessly toying with a crumpled invitation. An invitation he was ignoring.
