Challenge #205: Family Gatherings. It having just been the very family-centric holiday Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I thought it might be interesting if this week's challenge focused on the Snape family. Your drabble can center on the family of Snape's childhood, Snape visiting family members we never met in canon, or even AU!Snape with a family of his own some time in the future. The choice is yours, as long as your drabble features Snape and some version of a family gathering.

Severus stared at the door, summoning the courage to ring.

Was it too late to run away?

Come for Christmas, she’d said. We’d love to have you!

The more he considered, the more Severus doubted it. Probably Lily was just being polite. Probably he was being foolish again, shoving in where he didn’t belong.

He could still run home. There was no dinner, but Dad had already passed out, so—

The door opened, revealing three smiling faces.

“Happy Christmas, lad! Come in and warm up, won’t you?”

Severus did, but it wasn’t the fire that made him feel so warm.
