Advent drabble #2: Christmas Gift (HP - PG)
Fandom: Potterverse Winter 1991
Characters: Albus Dumbledore
Rating: PG
Summary: “Your father left this in my possession before he died.”
Christmas Gift
He hasn’t touched the cloak in years, not since James lent it to him. The fabric feels as soft and silvery as ever, brand-new. Not at all like an artifact of legend. Not at all like an object deserving the name “deathly.”
Would James and Lily have survived, had the cloak been in their possession when Voldemort came to Godric’s Hollow?
How much more heartache until Sibyll’s prediction comes to pass? How many more Christmases for Harry? Already, Albus has grown fond of the boy, but as he writes the accompanying note his hands are steady.
