Snape picked up the parcel that the tawny owl had dropped onto his plate and eyed it with a jaundiced expression. It bore no indication of the sender, and the last time he had received an anonymous package it had contained Dungbombs. Some people evidently never forgot nor forgave. Cautiously, he unwrapped the brown paper and caught his breath.
"Many happy returns, Severus," said Harry from across the table.
"You... I..." Snape rose and went around to kiss Harry fiercely. "Thank you," he murmured, stained fingers caressing the smooth wood of the wand he had thought he would never regain.
