Changes
Severus watched all the people that came to pay respect to the 'Birthday Boy'. He thought how odd that sounded, considering the age of the 'Boy' in question. He really wasn't a boy anymore.
Glancing around, Severus realized none of them were. But they were younger than he. And he had watched them grow up. It was sometimes difficult not to think of many of them as they were that first day, when they had nervously sat under the Sorting Hat awaiting its decision.
Severus smirked as his eyes landed on the untidy hair of Harry Potter. Some things never change. But, there were changes. They had happened so slowly that Severus had not noticed. The strands of steel gray were becoming more numerous than the dark brown in the hair that still constantly looked uncombed. And Severus was aware of the white that was slowly overtaking the black on his own head.
Then Harry turned and flashed that hart stopping smile that Severus knew was only for him and he decided that no matter how much things change, they would in some ways, remain stay the same.
Happy Birthday Jalana.
