What Was Past Title: What Was Past Author:celandineb Pairing: Harry/Severus Challenge: #263: past Rating: general Length(if fic): 100 words Summary: Harry suggests a rule. Notes: For alisanne.
Harry was the one who suggested the rule for them: What was past, was past. No hurling of accusations or insults or reproaches based on what either of them had done before they were together.
"What about the good parts of the past?" Severus said.
"Were there any?"
"I knew your mother quite well at one time," Severus pointed out. "If you rule out all reminiscences…"
"Not all," said Harry hastily. "Just, you know, I won't bring up how you always favored Malfoy—"
"I didn't."
"Yes, you did, but that's exactly the thing. I won't bring that up, and you won't bring up all the stupid things I did, either."
"Humph." Severus lifted his eyebrows. "What will we have left to talk about?"
"Well…" Harry scooted over until his thigh was pressed against Severus's. "I don't really think we'll have too much trouble with that, do you?"
