Chapter 11: The Last Night
The last two weeks flew by. Harry's things were packed, ready to be loaded onto the train. Both Harry and Snape were trying to cope with the inevitable separation.
Severus was enjoying his evening by reading in his library when Harry cautiously entered the room. Snape looked up, concerned.
"Professor, I have something for you…"
"What might that be?"
Harry walked closer and produced a small package, Snape looked closer, and Harry handed the present to him. "It um… Well, it's to thank you for… well, being so nice to me. And saving me and stuff I just wanted to show my appreciation." Severus opened the wrapping and held up the necklace. The snake blinked and slithered onto his new master's hand. Snape gasped in astonishment. He could feel all the magic within the snake, every spell, from the one who casted it. He also felt the love within the snake, a love for Severus, placed there by Harry.
"It's amazing, Harry! I love it!"
"I'm glad, and there are spells in it to keep you safe and… to save you from death."
"I know, I can feel them. I can also feel the snake radiating love for me; I know you had to have put that in him"
"Yes sir. I'll miss you, sir." Snape hugged Harry in return. They stayed like that until morning.
A/N: I know this is incredibly short, but I couldn't really pair it with anything else, it needed to be its own chapter, the next one will be up soon! I have some free time today because a few classes were cancelled due to snow! Yay nice university professors!
