Halloween Treat for cruisedirector
Gift for: cruisedirector
From: rivertempest
Title: Safe From the Hurt of Fire
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Rating: G
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns everything Harry Potter, not I.
Warnings: For the first time, there is narry a warning. Not sure if I should be concerned.
Summary: The bonfires of Samhain bring in the Celtic New Year. Harry thinks this is the perfect time to let Severus know of his regard.
Notes: cruisedirector, I snagged your prompt of 'bonfire' and fell in love with the research! Thank you for giving me a lovely bunch to work with! Many thanks to my beta, delphipsmith.
Severus wrapped his cloak tighter around his thin frame. “Are you done yet, Potter?”
In an idiotic moment of weakness, Severus Snape had agreed to take Harry Potter, to Tlachtgha in County Meath, for the Samhain bonfire festival.
Harry glanced over his shoulder, the intense firelight reflecting on his glasses. “I thought this lasted all night?”
“That may be, but I’m not about to stand here in the damp cold for another five hours watching Muggles traipse about, trying not to set themselves on fire because they were fool enough to stray close to the kindling.”
“I’m sorry, Professor.”
“Cease calling me your ‘professor’,” Severus gritted through his teeth. “I haven’t been any sort of instructor for you in over a decade.”
Harry smirked and moved closer. “I could cast a Warming Charm; keep the night chill from settling in your bones, old man,” he teased.
“You insolent—”
His words were stolen by Harry’s soft lips upon his. When Harry pulled away, Severus just stared.
“Why?” he rasped, his heart thrumming.
Harry gave him a lopsided smile. “It’s the Celtic New Year. What better way to start a new chapter in our lives?”
Severus’ fingers entwined with Harry’s. “Indeed.”
