“He seems to be under the assumption that since the Dursley’s are no longer his legal guardians, he has nowhere to stay this summer.”
Severus scoffed. “And I suppose an orphanage would be a better option as opposed to myself.”
Albus shrugged casually. “Is he aware that you’re even an option?”
“Well of course he…” Severus trailed off, frowning. “Why wouldn’t he?”
“You’re not his legal guardian,” Albus offered bluntly. “While you have done a lot for him, you are certainly in no way responsible for his welfare.”

***
in which Severus has to address the reality of his relationship with Harry with more than just words.
