Summary: It’s been a year since Harry defeated Voldemort, and that year has left its mark.
The Mark of a Year
A year can change a lot.
Not Harry’s appearance; he’s still on the short side, has mussy hair, sports a vivid scar in the middle of his forehead.
Not Snape’s appearance; he’s still vulture-like, hook-nosed and sallow, carries the dark mark on his forearm.
It’s changed the way they see each other, treat each other, reach for and touch and want each other.
It’s been a year since Voldemort died, but though the scars he left behind are still evident, they no longer matter.
It’s been a year, and Harry and Severus have left their own marks–on one another’s hearts.
