"Twenty some odd children and yet you’re the only one who comes back into the castle with frostbite.”
Harry sighed. So they were back on that.
“Look on the bright side. At least I came back at all.”
Professor Snape scowled. “You are not nearly as humorous as you believe yourself to be.”
OR
It's the winter holidays, and Harry just wants to play with his new friends in the snow. If only Professor Snape didn't have to be such a fuddy-duddy about it.

“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.”

“My, my, Severus. Could it be that you are jealous?”
***
in which Severus has to address the reality of his relationship with Harry with more than just words.

A child whom Severus and the majority of the wizarding world had thought to be a spoilt prince with a heart beating contemptibly.
Severus hated being wrong.

Harry Potter is sorted into Slytherin, which automatically makes his problems Severus' problems. Like, more so than usual. Severus, being the ridiculously responsible professor that he is, has an important discussion with the boy.
