Challenge: 174: Watching Severus
Warning: Um... it's sad. But no one actually dies, don't worry.^^
A/N: ...I've no idea where this came from; I was so cheerful and then I wrote this. *shakes head* You'll get happy sappy fluff next time to make up for this, alright?^.~
Thanks to red_day_dawning for beta-reading and helping me out with her feeling regarding what works and what doesn't in English. You're the best, hon!:-*

At the click of the closing door Harry looked up from his Quidditch magazine.

Silent and stone-faced, Severus removed his black travelling cloak.

Harry did not greet him.

~

“You’re late.”

“Yes.” A thin hand Harry had once considered beautiful rubbed over a worn, lined face. “The research.”

“Of course.”

~

Deafening silence hung between them at dinner.

Harry watched the man he had known so well years ago. The man he knew nothing about now.

~

Later, Harry studied the white expanse of Severus’ back turned on him, wondering when they had stopped making love, or saying goodnight.

The thought tasted of bile.
