Word count: +/- 4.5K
Warning(s): None
Summary:
Harry needs somewhere safe to escape the press and they would not dare to darken Snape's doorstep, so it seemed like the perfect place to go to ground. It helped that he wants to spend time with the Potions Master and this was a good excuse.

AN: This is a gift for Pekeleke, Yen, and Lizzy0305 as this tale came into being by a bookend written for one of Pekeleke's tales, a request for a tale from YenGirl and Lizzy0305, and the song "Cherish" by The Association. The lyrics of the song inspired the chapter titles and the "theme" for the chapters.

Yen has been nice enough to take this one under her wing and clean it up. It is much better due to this. She also declared it a Christmas tale, so I am posting it now as I will not have time to work on the adventdrabbles this year. Please take this as my pitiful offerings.
