Chapter 2: Turkey
Severus eyed the flamboyant, unnaturally multicoloured, plump turkey ran around the Hogwarts kitchens as the house elves eagerly chased it with the intent to cook it for dinner. While Britain did not celebrate the American Thanksgiving, the lure of a fat turkey dinner would not exactly go to waste.

Hermione gave him a serene smile. "I think he now knows how I truly feel about him."
