Just a short drabble about Severus's newly adopted son, Harry Potter. It can either be read as part of my story , "A Means of Survival," (posted at FF.net), or it can be read on its own. I purposely made the style a bit ambiguous for that very reason. During HP & COS.

It wasn't Severus' fault that Harry was allergic to Veritaserum, or that Harry had been sneaking around the dungeons after curfew. How was he to know the boy would react badly? Those were the excuses he gave to the Headmaster when questioned about his (questionably legal) actions, but Dumbledore wasn't buying it. Now Severus is stuck with the annoyingly truthful brat for Christmas. Wonderful. In response to the Faux Pas challenge by Alexannah. Rating for language is because of one sentence with curse words in chapter two. Rating for self harm is harm on accident on Harry's part. Short story, only three chapters.
