Severus woke later than normal on Sunday morning. As he stretched and debated whether to get up or snuggle back into his blankets to sleep a bit longer he noticed a small potted plant on his bedside table, a plant that had not been there when he went to sleep.
Sitting up abruptly Severus reached out to test the wards on his quarters and was surprised to find them undisturbed. He was unable to determine how his Secret Santa was delivering presents to his rooms, to the very room he was sleeping in. He found the notion of someone seeing him asleep and vulnerable to the quite disconcerting. There was no tag on the plant, but no one else would have given him a bonsai tree with eight tiny milk maid ornaments hanging from its branches.
