Prompt: Harry returns to the Shrieking Shack to retrieve Snape's body. The shack is empty, the blood is gone. He passes an injured adder as he leaves the Whomping Willow. Harry takes the injured Snake and nurses him back to health, confessing his feelings for his fallen professor to his new familiar. Of course, this is Snape he is nursing back to health. After a very embarrassing reveal, Snarry ensues.
Summary: After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter finds an injured snake and nurses it back to health. It’s Severus Snape, of course.
A/N: Thank you to the mods for hosting this excellent fest, and thank you prompter for this lovely prompt! I might have told the story from a different angle than you intended, but hopefully you enjoy it anyway.
