Harry shows up at Spinner’s End soaking wet. Of course, he didn’t have spare clothes. Snape immediately sits him on the couch.
The cup of tea he hands him steams in Harry’s soft, pale face. His towel is large and warm and smells faintly of almonds.
Harry clears his throat. “I’m here because--”
“Tomorrow,” Snape interrupts angrily, “when you are no longer wet and susceptible to pneumonia, then you may relay me your message.”
Strangely docile, Harry agrees to bed down on the couch for the night.
Snape stays up late, grudgingly, secretly hoping for footsteps up the stairs.
