Idefk.
Agggh, my brain is so fried! I've been so scattered-brained the last couple of days sldjf PROOF ENOUGH. orz, anyway, short list for myself to complete and then my entry for snarry_ldws .
- Hope the tie breaks over at deathly_contest or put up a tie-breaker.
- Work on unnamed Merlin fic.
- Finish outlining NaMoWriMo story.
- Consider making a header for the contest over at merlin_love and then realize I'm using that as a distraction to avoid writing.
- Rework note cards for tomorrow's speech, the opening's a little weak.
Aaaand that out of the way, on to fic!
Title: Familiar Eyes
Summary: Severus meets a strange boy on his return to Hogwarts one year.
Warnings: None.
Severus hated when people stared. He glanced around, hoping to see someone else. No one. That boy was staring at him. Most of the crowd gathered at the train, wishing their loved ones goodbye. Not Severus, though. His mother had dropped him off and left.
He searched the crowd again, ignoring the boy - a First year, had to be. Lily was around somewhere. Then the boy was beside him, offering a hand.
“Hullo,” the boy spoke in that high-pitched way young boys do, grating on Severus nerves. “I’m Harry.”
“My name is no concern of yours,” stated Severus sharply but accepted the hand, the lunula pushed back from biting. They shook and then let go. “What do you want?”
“I saw you were alone.” The boy seemed a bit uncertain himself. “I know what that’s like. It’s not nice.”
How could such a young boy possibly know? “Yes, well. One gets use to it,” Severus said. He grabbed the trolley beside him and walked away. Halfway to the train, he glanced back. “Are you coming or not?”
The boy’s smile was wide but disappeared quickly. “I don’t know where …”
“Where you’ll be sorted? No one does.” Severus beckoned him over. “Come on, you’ll find out soon enough.” He thought nothing of the confusion he saw, too caught up in the way those green eyes glowed. They seemed familiar and yet … “What’s your last name? You do have one, don’t you?”
Harry blushed. “Y-Yeah. But you’ll just make fun of me.”
Severus shrugged. “Fine, have it your way. I’ll find out soon enough.” He froze as the boy laughed. Since when did anyone find him funny? Even Lily didn’t …
“I like you,” the boy blurted out.
Severus didn’t respond, too shocked to know what to say.
