“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.
