Summary: First time Severus Snape takes his ward to the beach!
Drabble 14: Beach
Severus Snape was told by Albus Dumbledore that he should take his ward to the beach. He never really knew how Albus Dumbledore sweet talked him to accepting Harry Potter as his ward, but he did. It didn't help that Harry Potter was always so weird (acting polite, washing dishes, cleaning his house obsessively, and cooking). He wasn't used to Harry Potter like this. He wondered where the Gryffindor bravery was at. He decided to treat Harry to the beach (not because Albus Dumbledore sweet talked him) but to allow Harry to be out of his house. There was something unnatural going on with Harry, and he wanted to get to the root of it without scaring the boy.
(And then he saw the boy running, shrieking and having fun on the beach, and Severus had to wonder to himself if this was the first time the boy have ever been to a beach (or anywhere his entire life?)
He'll get to the bottom of finding out what was going through Harry's head, but for now, he'll allow his ward to act like the kid he is and to have fun on the beach!
