Summary: Relationships were give and take, fights and compromises, protection given and received.
"Prisoner 422631"
Severus stood with a graceful flourish. After five months, he was used to the routine. While missing basic luxuries and eating until he decided he was full, his situation was better than most. Five simple meals a day, no nearby Dementors, and today was Sunday - the day he was allowed supervised visitations.
"Go!"
"But... He, I didn't..."
"Listen to me! Get. Out. Now."
For four years Harry had given him a sense of safety and security. An established sense of family he had never known nor hoped to achieve. Watching Harry now, walking impatiently next to the guard, Severus allowed himself a small smile. He would never forget the image of Harry standing over the body of the man who'd tried to assault him, a bloody knife clutched in one fist and a blank look on his face. Severus waited, extending a hand through the bars, relaxing as it was grasped tightly in a slightly sweaty palm.
Longbottom smiled, turning his back and walking to the end of the hall to "supervise" their visit from a distance. Relationships were give and take, fights and compromises, protection given and received. Spending six months in Azkaban for a murder most of the wizarding world knew he didn't commit, enabling Harry to keep that light in his eyes? Compared to the four years Harry had already given him, six months were a mere drop in the bucket.
