Embracing Shadows

“You are tired.”

It is not a question but a statement.

You look at me with impossibly green eyes.

“Sleep, I will keep watch.”

You shift over to my side and laid your head on my shoulder. I can feel your eyes watch me with uncertainty and fear, but I make no move to protest your close proximity. You finally close your eyes and are asleep in seconds. I catch your head as it rolls off my shoulder and pillow it on my lap. I wrap my cloak tighter around us.

It will be frigid. We cannot afford a fire.

Snape's point of view again. This seems a lot more reminescent of the first piece, Chasing Shadows. I edited this one a bunch of times to get it to say exactly what I wanted. All reviews appreciated.

You torture them beautifully, did you know that?

Nice touches with Snape catching Harry, and also with the cloak.

Poor Snape and Harry. This one seemed a tad too sweet for Snape but I thought to just let it go.

They'll get a semi-happy ending... I think... Unless my darker muse decides to finally rear its devil-horned head...

If they must suffer, let them suffer together.

Wouldn't have it any other way.
