Challenge: prompt 27: touch
Warning(s): angst, implied character death.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, just playing.
A/N: This is actually (in my head) sort of for both prompt 27 and 28, since I didn't know what I wanted to do for 27 until I saw this weeks prompt. I could explain that better, but I don't really want to influence people's reading of it. Concrit always welcome : )

It has never frayed, the little square, for all his worrying it.

Beneath his fingers the cloth has no smell, no color, only the weave of rough fibers and the spaces between.

Sometimes, Harry imagines the spaces are growing, expanding, absorbing the threads until he has to slip it from his pocket to ensure that it’s still there.

Sometimes, Harry thinks maybe, maybe he should leave it on the dresser for the day.

Usually he just touches, recalling taking the fragment in the heat of battle, and the way he used to remember the feel of Severus beneath the cloak.
