Multipurpose Challenge #208: Mistletoe Title: Multipurpose Author: bluestocking79 Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 100 Pairing: Snuna Note: Set a number of years post-DH, but very much non-compliant with the Epilogue.

“See? It’s multipurpose.”
Severus watched her retreat to the back room, feeling slightly dizzy.
If she wanted to decorate next year, he doubted he would object.
